September 22, 2020 at 2:00 pmTurn round time for me has been around 2 hours for a lift off and box on, even longer if restitution is 2×20 and collecting 2×20 treatment of lorry drivers is disgusting. All they care about is the tugs for rail and ships never enough staff and to much time lost in change overs. If they saw how brilliant Gateway is with a turn round time around 20 minutes from entering to exit they would be counting the days to being made redundant.Really sad to see what could be a great port being miss managed.
