The Port of Felixstowe is one the region’s major international
gateways. It is the largest container port in the UK and one of
the largest in Europe. The port operator, Hutchison Port Holdings
Group, is currently embarking on a major reconfiguration of
Felixstowe South. This, together with the extension of the port’s
Trinity Terminal, will enable Felixstowe to provide a total of over
four kilometres of deep-water container facilities by 2014, and
total capacity at the port will increase by nearly 50 per cent.
