BRITAIN’S biggest container port was preparing to re-open this morning after a massive effort to clear snow from the quayside and storage parks.
Officials at Felixstowe said it would be a gradual re-opening to haulage traffic.
Portworkers spent all day yesterday clearing snow and ice from operational areas.
“When operations do recommence this is likely to be a staged recovery with export tips being the first phase,” said a port spokesman.
Collections of import boxes were not likely to resume before midday.
