Less Commercial Traffic on the Orwell

[pks1702]

I heard this a few weeks ago but Cobelfret have ceased the Ipswich-Rotterdam service for freight traffic, last service is today.

It was only last year they dredged for the larger vessels!

Sad for Ipswich port but less to dodge I guess.

Stena have taken on the vessels to use on their Harwich - Rotterdam

EADT report.

Shame Perry, that's going tomake it a bit less interesting for us, but more importantly bad for the Port of Ipswich

I don't know if it's a general trend but even Southampton has been strangely quiet this past month.
