Brexit: Government admits it has 'run out of time' to find ships to bring emergency supplies after no-deal
Officials have admitted they have “run out of time” to find ships to bring emergency supplies after a no-deal Brexit, following the Seaborne Freight fiasco.
No further “large amount of further additional capacity” will be available across the Channel before the end of March, MPs were told – by either sea or rail.
The admission follows the embarrassment of the cancelled contract handed to Seaborne – a firm with no ships – which has sparked calls for Chris Grayling, the transport secretary, to be sacked.
“It would not be possible to complete procurement and make it operational for 29 March,” the department for transport’s director general admitted.
