High winds topple stacks of boxes at HK's Felixstowe terminal

STRONG winds of up to 50 miles per hour have been blamed for blowing down container stacks inside quayside storage parks at Britain's largest container port of Felixstowe.

Hong Kong's Hutchison port officials told the Ipswich Evening Star that the adverse weather conditions over the weekend had affected rail and yard operations and that access was being restricted to operational areas to protect the safety of port users.

The forecast is for the unsettled weather to continue this week with more showers and strong winds expected.
