Operation Brock not a permanent solution, says Logistics UK

[ July 21, 2023   //   ]

Logistics UK is calling for a longer term alternative to Operation Brock as a means to handle freight traffic through the Channel ports during disruption.

The traffic management system, which is being deployed ahead of predicted heavy holiday traffic this weekend (22/23 July), increases costs and disruption to operators, it says.

 Head of cities and infrastructure policy, Jonathan Walker, said: “Operation Brock is only a temporary fix and does not provide adequate rest and hygiene facilities for professional drivers or those travelling to the Continent. With significant changes to border controls due to be implemented from October which will also create the potential for delays around the port, it is vital a more permanent, efficient and cost-effective measure is introduced to ensure the smooth flow of goods.”
