Andrew Harston: It would be a surprise, to the extent that the public inquiry process to date is the best thing that we can consider as a mini-IPC, because of the public scrutiny and hearings that took place and the agreements that were reached. Frankly, I do not know the answer, because it has been very difficult to engage with DEFRA in dialogue. However, there is the question of scale: there will be 250,000 TEUs and 500 containers a day. On roll-on/roll-off, which is trailer traffic that goes on and off ferries, principally to the EU, which as we know, is our greatest trading partner, there will be more than 100 per cent. growth in the same time frame.
