Ostend-Ramsgate ferry not in brexit contingency plan 16 UK ports

Sixteen ports in the UK may share a £10m pot for rapid infrastructure upgrades to keep traffic flowing smoothly when brexit occurs on 31 October. They are: Felixstowe, Harwich (East Anglia), Southampton, Portsmouth International, Plymouth, Poole, Newhaven (south coast), Immingham, Hull, Teesport (north-east coast), Heysham, Liverpool (north-west coast), Bristol (west coast), Sheerness, London Gateway and Dover (south-east coast). The 16 are the winning applicants following an appeal by the Department for Transport. Ports could receive up to £1 million of funding for things like additional truck parking and space for container storage, and for improving traffic access to keep trade flowing. For example, Associated British Ports (ABP) was awarded as much as £1.4 million for Hull and Immingham – its ports in the Humber estuary – which are served from Zeebrugge.
