So, the first cranes are on their way but what major lines will they be unloading ?
In his post of August 2008, John Jones suggested that China Shipping (CSCL)had signed up and would therefore be moving from Felixstowe.
Are there any other thoughts and/or speculations ?
Given that DP World also operate the expanding container port in Southampton thus ruling out the likes of CMA CGM, OOCL, NYK, etc, and that any lines not calling in the UK are unlikely to transfer services to a UK port of call from mainland northern europe - being happy to rely on existing feeder services, is it correct to suggest that we should look to Felixstowe and/or Thamesport for the candidates ?
