English ports given £10m to prepare for Brexit

Sixteen ports across England will receive a share of a £10m (US$12m) funding pot to help their preparations for Brexit, which is still set for October 31.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced the successful bidders for the Port Infrastructure Resilience and Connectivity (PIRC) competition, with Felixstowe, London Gateway, Liverpool and Southampton among the winners.

Aside from the UK’s big container ports, Harwich, Portsmouth International, Plymouth, Poole, Newhaven, Immingham, Hull, Teesport, Heysham, Bristol, Sheerness and Dover were also successful.
