Hello Derek,
Very nice shot from 1985.
Is this containerterminal the same place where you shoot now your great pictures at Felixstowe?
Regards,
Frederik & Gerda :-D

Hi Frederik and Gerda
Thanks for your comment.
This is the part of the port know as Landguard
(or the South) It was the first part of the container port built in 1968. Outdated now and handles the smaller vessels mainly.
It is due to be reconstructed in the near future.
I have sent you a link to a map of the port.
The purple bits are the proposed extensions.
