Port of Felixstowe

The UK's largerst port had to close for part of yesterday (2 June) due to strong winds affecting operations.

Cranes and loading equipment could not safely be used at Felixstowe during the bout of strong winds yesterday, meaning lorries were unable to enter or exit.

This resulted in 'Operation 'Stack', in which lorries had to park up on the former A45 in the nearby village of Levington in Suffolk.

The port reopened as usual today (3 June), and a spokesperson said the temporary closure didn't affect business.
