MDS Transmodal Ltd, the UK-based transport and logistics research consultancy, has published a report on trends in British port traffic

In its latest customer newsletter, consultancy MDS Transmodal points to a “Brexit dividend for the North Sea Ro-Ro Corridor;” Dover Straits ports focus on debarbonisation

The indicator is proposed to show that the traditional HHI used by competition authorities in the US and Europe, and supported by the World Shipping Council, considerably understates the level of concentration in container liner shipping

Samskip and W.E.C. Lines/A2B launch new UKEC-continent services while DSV Road introduces a new unaccompanied trailer service, as Brexit threatens to disrupt the dominant Dover Straits accompanied traffic supply chain. Meanwhile, a new report for UK Major Ports Group promotes switch of traffic from Dover Straits route

Focus on just 2.4% of the road network and seven out of 1,000 main rail junctions would unlock over 50,000 hours every day, and over time plough an extra £14.2B of value into the UK economy, says the UK Major Ports Group

Unaccompanied shipping alternatives to the dominant Dover Straits trucking model are increasing in number and capacity.
