Logistics Update: Felixstowe Port Congestion Triggers Demurrage Warnings

2/9/2026·Unicorn Currencies Logistics Desk

Importers should anticipate 48-hour delays. Unicorn Currencies tracking data shows elevated dwell times.

Dwell times at the Port of Felixstowe have stabilized, offering a window of relief for UK importers. However, Unicorn Currencies logistics tracking data indicates that demurrage risks remain elevated for uncollected containers.

While the acute congestion from last month has subsided, haulage availability remains the primary bottleneck. Containers left on the quay beyond the standard 5-day free period are accruing charges of up to £150 per day. Our data shows a 15% increase in demurrage billings for textile and electronics importers over the last quarter.

Clients using the Unicorn Currencies platform are advised to activate their "Demurrage Alerts" to receive 48-hour warnings before free time expires.
