To keep the operation efficient a single handling agent is the way to go as it reduces costs. Doesn't mean though that it means lower charges. I would have thought in Stobart's case that they would...

Southend is clearly top of the tree and should be rightly congratulated. It has a new terminal and all the facilities in place on a small scale but that is the whole point. Small is beautiful and...
