The vessels which are supposed to call at UK ports frequently pass by if the weather is poor. During the recent snow at Felixstowe there was a Far East ship sat in port for 3 days but nothing moved on or off because of the snow and ice. The ship left for Rotterdam and took all the UK contrs with it, some of them took 2 weeks to get back to Felixstowe. Ships are already steaming 'super slow' to save fuel so when this kind of thing happens the transit time of those goods stretches into months not weeks.
