Over the past few days, DP World Southampton and surrounding empty depots have stopped accepting empty container returns. As a result, shipping lines are diverting empties to other ports, which may affect transport planning and could lead to additional charges.
At this stage, there is no confirmed timeline for when Southampton and nearby depots will resume accepting empties. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share further updates as soon as more information becomes available.
