MSC Michel Capellini is currently tied for the biggest container ship in the world. It arrived at Felixstowe port just after midnight on Thursday. Measuring at just under 400 metres long, it’s 1 of the 3 biggest container vessels in the world. The gross tonnage stands at 233,328 and the vessel has a total capacity of 24,346.

Boat lovers won’t be able to view the ship, however, as it left at 4 am on Saturday. The Ever A lot arrived on Thursday as well, with the MSC Loreto making its voyage in June.

Planners have given a new warehouse in Ipswich, which is to be built off the A14, the green light. Quod, who are operating on behalf of Orwell Truck Stop LTD have gone ahead and submitted the scheme for the project. The site is on the outskirts of town, close to the Ransomes industrial estate. The filed documents have stated that this is an amazing opportunity and will make efficient use of the land. Developers envision that the new warehouse is going to create significant employment opportunities.

The development is also going to present a number of social and economic benefits, while supporting the aim of the economic policy at both a national and local level. As many as 355 full-time jobs could be created as part of this scheme.

Leaders in Brightwell and Foxhall have some concerns, however. Their apprehension stems from the roads that could be constructed as part of the project.

Even though the concerns are valid, East Suffolk have given the build the green light. The application is going ahead, and the warehouses are being built as planned.
