Felixstowe when are you going to become a world leading port rather than a port the worlds shipping lines want to avoid. A bit of snow and ice and you shut! As a counrty we need our largest container port to be one we are proud of not ashamed of. Please get a grip. We want to see you top of the port efficiency table not bottom.

No Crane RTG , no game , my job just got cancelled, because of long delays inside Port of Felixstowe at Trinity . Waiting time 1:40 h and still no RTG on the HORIZON . This is wonderful .
People say you have too wait, boo hoo, it's a container port it gets busy, it's not a local store. I go every week some days good some days bad.
I have been there for an evening walk with my family and we were surprised to see how nice is this place. Also, there is a very nice park, good for an evening walk.
The Port of Felixstowe has two main container terminals, Trinity and Landguard with the Landguard Terminal the first encountered heading upstream then Trinity thus affording a continuous quay length of nearly a mile and a half. Felixstowe is equipped with 29 ship-to-shore gantry cranes and the river's main navigation channel is dredged to a maximum depth of 15 metres alongside the working quay. This channel depth ensures that Felixstowe is able to accommodate the world's largest, deep-draughted vessels including the Maersk Triple E class. We became intrigued with the logistics of the Felixstowe set-up when we saw it featured on a TV landscape painting contest programme. There the contestants had set themselves up to paint a scene of Landguard Terminal, mostly with no boats in dock. However, at about 2 hours into their allotted time, an enormous Maersk vessel hove into their canvas, loaded to the gunwales with ‘high-cube’ containers. That late arrival on the scene changed the whole visual panorama and proved to be a real game-changer for the artists and an eye-opener for the TV audience.
