- 1. PORT OF FELIXSTOWE, UK AD CASE STUDY SEMESTER 9 Navin Nakka
- 2. INTRODUCTION • The Port of Felixstowe is Britain’s biggest and busiest container port, and one of the largest in Europe. • The port handles more than 4million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) and welcomes approximately 3,000 ships each year, including the largest container vessels afloat today. • Around 17 shipping lines operate from Felixstowe, offering 33 services to and from over 700 ports around the world. • Owned and operated by- Hutchison Ports, a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd (CK Hutchison). • Over 40% of the nation’s containerized trade passes through the port which, thanks to its optimal location, provides unrivalled connections to domestic and global markets. • Together with its unrivalled rail and road links connecting the port to distribution hubs in the Midlands and elsewhere in the UK, Port of Felixstowe Type of harbour Container port Size 3,383 ha (33.83 sq.km.)
- 3. CONNECTIVITY Rail volumes currently represent 28% of inland throughput and continue to grow at around 7% per annum. The new North Rail Terminal added 9 extra 730m long tracks at the port, bringing the total number to 20 – more than at London’s Kings Cross Station. In fact, since 2002 The Port of Felixstowe has doubled rail throughput and is now Britain’s biggest rail container terminal. The A14 was built specifically to link Felixstowe to the national motorway network at the junction with the M1 and M6, opening up access to the Midlands and the North. This key logistics corridor is now being substantially upgraded and its junction with the two motorways completely redesigned to reduce journey times between Felixstowe and key markets. To the South, the A12 links Felixstowe with the M25 and the rest of the South-East. The Port of Felixstowe is connected to the world by 33 shipping lines operating over 90 services a week across all continents – offering unparalleled flexibility and choice to its customers. There are 24 weekly services to Europe, 38 to Asia, 7 to the Middle East, 7 to Africa and 17 to the Americas. The Port of Felixstowe offers the most frequent and widest range of carbon efficient coastal feeder services to other east coast, Scottish and Irish ports. Destinations include: • Teesside • Immingham • Grangemouth • Dublin • South Shields • Belfast
- 4. • The Port of Felixstowe is Britain’s largest international rail facility with record- breaking throughput, and the broadest and most frequent range of services of any port in Britain. • AN UNRIVALLED RANGE OF RAIL SERVICES 1.

- 15. The table below provides a guide to the dimensions that can generally be handled without the need for further inquiries. Cargoes falling outside these dimensions require further information to be supplied, (e.g. lifting point positions, lift plans and photographs) to enable a more bespoke service for the customer. SAFE WORKING LIMITS The information below shows the safe working envelopes of our ship-to-shore cranes. Heavy lift mode increases the Safe Working Limits (SWL) of the crane, but it will restrict the outreach over the vessel – this needs to be considered during the planning process. Another key piece of information is the planned stowage position for consignment, which will determine how to proceed with lashing and securing cargo safely onboard. CARGO HANDLING
- 16. • Port of Felixstowe provides a Container Weighing solution to help shippers meet updated SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations. • The Port of Felixstowe was the first to announce that it will offer container weighing services, to ensure UK shippers are able to comply with the new international regulations. • Since 1st of July 2016 every laden export container has been required to have a verified weight before being loaded onto a vessel. CONTAINER WEIGHING SERVICES WAREHOUSE SERVICES • Port of Felixstowe Logistics Park offers a total of 1,400,000 sq.ft of build-to-suit distribution warehouses on a 68 acre site within the Port of Felixstowe.
- 17. EXAMINATION FACILITIES The Port of Felixstowe has invested in the creation of two purpose-built BCP areas to enable specialist inspections to take place – the Temperature Controlled Examination Facility (TCEF) and the Ambient Temperature Examination Facility (ATEF). The examination area also allows the presentation of containers to a state-of-the-art X-Ray scanning machine, based permanently on the port and controlled by UK Border Force. • TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED EXAMINATION FACILITY (TCEF) The examinations undertaken in the TCEF are usually of products of animal origin, and are predominantly called for by the Port Health Authority. The TCEF is divided into two inspection areas. The first of these is a five-bay facility, used to examine cargoes for human consumption – largely fish and chicken. The other area has two bays, and is used for the inspection of cargoes not for human consumption, such as fishmeal and pet food. • AMBIENT TEMPERATURE EXAMINATION FACILITY (ATEF) The Port’s designated ATEF is housed within a large warehouse known as 70 Shed. It is split into multiple specific bays (6 bays - Animal Origin Food Facility, 3 bays - Micro Examination Food Facility, 7 bays - General Food Facility and 4 bays - Allergen Facility) and facilitates the examination of products of animal origin, such as canned tuna, gelatine and corned beef, as well as examination of foodstuffs not of animal origin, such as nuts and fruit. For hygiene purposes and to prevent cross-contamination, all areas within both the TCEF and the ATEF are kept entirely separate from each other, with each area designated its own equipment.
