Preparing Kent for the end of the Brexit transition period

Posted on in Maltaward News

Maltaward is pleased to provide barriers and fencing in support of the Brexit Preparation Plans, Operation Fennel. This is the multi-agency response to mitigate delays in freight and passenger traffic using the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel to the Continent.

 

Operation Fennel sets out the operational methods to accommodate delayed vehicles using these facilities which are of national importance. As the shortest crossing point between the UK and mainland Europe, the short straits ports of Dover and Channel Tunnel account for 69% of all goods vehicles and 89% of all powered goods vehicles that travel between the UK and mainland.

 

Maltaward has supplied over 1000 TVBC’s and fencing, helping implement the HGV holding areas for the Government service known as ‘Check an HGV is Ready to Cross the Border’. The aim of the service is to ensure that freight is ready for new border controls before it enters Kent, therefore reducing congestion and avoiding any unnecessary queues in Kent.

Maltaward (Barriers) ltd have supplied barriers and fencing at three locations of the escalating plan to mitigate congestion for HGV’s and local road users.

The first zone at Ebbsfleet International car park was completed this week, which will be used to manage HMRC customs clearance from January and will also be used as a muster point when freight carrying certain goods such as seafood or livestock is prioritised.

What Our Clients Think Of Us

Multiple compliments from staff and patients – I have been taking full credit.

Chaps did an excellent job – quick and efficient and spelling perfect!

Car Park Line Marking

I just express our thanks for the short hire of the blockers and the gate and the services provided by Del yesterday.

We have had excellent feedback, not only internally but from our Customer who was holding the event and it would not have gone so smoothly if Del did not play his part so efficiently and professionally.

Everything ran so smoothly.  His Majesty would not have known the amount of work that went into making the event possible not only by the SEGRO team but all of our service partners.

It is not often that feedback is positive but it is important for you to know how grateful we are to you and the team and ask that you thank Del from SEGRO, Felix and personally from myself.

Joanna, Property Manager at SEGRO

We are really greatful for you guys organising these barriers, the driver was early, took no time at all and we are now properly secure. We will only use you for this sort of stuff in future, 10/10 service.
