Talk:Port of Felixstowe

New Maersk ships to use Felixstowe

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/feb/21/maersk-containers-shipping-emissions

Is this likely to increase jobs and opportunities in the town? There must be local news coverage of it. Maybe worth adding to the article once the information matures a bit.

Maybe - in 2014, wait until then.TGCP (talk) 22:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Aerial image

I propose we use this aerial image of the port in the infobox instead of the the logo.

• Support as nominator. Ali Fazal (talk) 13:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
• Support. I only did a small sample check, but all the other port articles I looked at used a similar image (and not the business logo). It's more attractive and engaging for the reader than the logo. QuiteUnusual (talk) 08:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
• Support. Certainly would be an asset to the article, and would make a great lead image. PeterEastern (talk) 22:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
• Agree Absolutely.
• Support. The logo Is appropriate for a letterhead, but the image of the port is more apt for an encyclopedia article. It brings the text alive, illustrating the geography and enterprise. — Neonorange (talk) 04:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
• Support, the presented overview image of the physical asset is much more contextual to the reader that an abstract representation of which ever organisation currently runs the port. —Sladen (talk) 12:48, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Largest Containership

CSCL Globe is not the largest, but the longest containership. The largest one is MSC Zoe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSC_Zoe — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.91.212.18 (talk) 06:15, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Lack of history

A lot more is needed about how this major port developed (for instance, it nearly got pipped at the post by Maplin New Town).Deipnosophista (talk) 10:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, and it cold be pointed out that Felixstowe had the advantage of not being in he National Dock Labour Scheme, and so throve in spite of unfavourable land communications. Ipswich was better placed, but in the Scheme. Compare, eg, Shoreham.  Seadowns (talk) 16:21, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
