As a country we have wasteful, rapacious Local & National Governments. They raise from the taxpayer without ever thinking can their ideas or schemes be afforded. Light and Harbour dues in the UK far exceed those charged abroad, and come directly from the Shippers & Dock Companies. Therefore some larger shipping lines are now by-passing the UK and call directly at the Continental Super Ports where fees are less. Leaving the UK to be served by smaller feeder services which push the transport costs up! Taxes do cost jobs!!!
