(TheLoadstar) The UK’s major container gateway of Felixstowe is expected to continue experiencing severe congestion after the troubled implementation of a new IT system. An advisory issued by MSC said all carriers calling at the port were still experiencing “significant delays”. “MSC expects these delays to continue, which will affect vessel arrival times and collection and delivery slots. “We continue to work very closely with the port of Felixstowe to mitigate this situation and we are working hard to minimise the impact on our customers.” Its 2M partner, Maersk, also advised customers it was working with the port to resolve the issues, and Cosco issued a notification citing “severe delays”, which it said were leading to “serious service failures”. One source told The Loadstar the delays had resulted in the port suspending rail import services, although a spokesperson for the port denied this.
