Richard Ballantyne, chief executive of the British Ports Association, said the failed port in Sevington, Kent was the product of a rush to get Brexit done.
The controversial lorry park is located beside the M20 in Sevington, Ashford, and is currently being used as a Covid-19 testing site for hauliers as well as HMRC checks.

A giant Brexit lorry park “as bright as Wembley Stadium” is dominating the night sky in Kent and ruining the views of hundreds of people.
The border facility, which is still under construction, was set up by the Government to hold around 1,700 lorries in case of border disruption after the UK left the single market.
But residents have complained that the lorry park’s bright lights are on 24/7 as well as reporting that satnav issues see HGV drivers regularly causing havoc as they try to navigate narrow village lanes.
Questions have also been raised about why a study on the impact of the site on the environment has not yet been released by the Government.
