"The increasing size of container ships places great demand on port resources and we are pleased with the way we have responded to this challenge.

"The logistics of such an operation are immense and we will continue to work closely with the 2M partners, Maersk Line and MSC to help achieve their objectives to supply the current high demand for Far East imports to UK consumers."
