Last year was one of unprecedented challenge for the UK’s vehicle handling ports but, as Marcus Williams reports, they maintained operations, invested in infrastructure and are taking lessons forward for future trade. As with the finished vehicle ports in mainland Europe, UK-based ports and terminal operators faced disruption to normal throughput across the year because of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, like their counterparts across the Channel, port operators maintained services and even saw healthy numbers overall, in part because of increased traffic in Q4 ahead of the Brexit deadline.
