Huge towers of shipping containers filled with Christmas goods are stacked 100ft high in the port of Felixstowe this morning (Tues) as they wait to be collected. BritainÕs biggest container port has become severely congested in recent weeks and is now struggling to cope with the volume of cargo passing through, due to a shortage of lorry drivers. The average shipping container which arrives at Felixstowe is currently spending more than nine days at the port before it is collected, which is double the amount of time compared to last year.
