At the beginning of January, SITPRO published the consultation document for its review of procedures at UK ports. Intended to update the landmark SITPRO Ports Report of 1997, which led to many positive developments in the trading community, it is intended that the findings of the new review will be pursued not only by SITPRO and its stakeholders, but also through the action plan being submitted for the next Pre-Budget Report.
Traders have already started to return their responses to this consultation, which can be downloaded from www.sitpro.org.uk/questionnaires/ports09.html. The deadline for responses is 31 March 2009.
