Logistics UK comment on government’s Freeport announcement

“Logistics UK is pleased to see the government progress its plans to establish Freeports across the UK; these sites have the potential to unlock significant opportunities for international trade post-Brexit. We called for an ambitious customs model, measures to speed up planning processes, and a commitment to geographic flexibility and opportunities for all transport modes – all of which have been included in the plans. We will continue working with government to ensure their establishment delivers the best outcome for logistics and the wider economy.”
