The Haven Gateway ports in the UK include Felixstowe, Harwich, Ipswich and Mistley. The dinner was held midway through the EU Port-Net conference organised in Ipswich to discuss ‘Feeder, Ferry and Shortsea Challenges’. This made it possible for delegates from the ports of Tallinn, Riga, Klaipeda, Szczecin, Elbag, Hamburg, Malta, Hamina, Antwerp and Genoa as well as the European Commission to attend the event. Welcoming his guests, Haven Gateway chairman George Courtauld highlighted the fact that Nelson’s ship Victory had a multi-national crew, many drawn from countries represented by the Port-Net partners.
