Storm Barra Affecting Port Operations

Storm Barra is currently impacting logistics in Ireland and the UK, with winds in some parts of up to 80 mph.

As the  storm now arrives in the South of the UK this afternoon, Felixstowe Port has already issued a weather warning and cancelled bookings for today.

Meanwhile, Southampton have advised that terminal operations have now been suspended.

The above is likely to impact collections and deliveries through both ports in the next 24/48 hours.
