Scottish airfield earmarked as post-Brexit lorry park Severin Carrell and Lisa O Carroll © PA Two ferry terminals at Cairnryan carry about 400,000 freight vehicles and 400,000 cars a year between Scotland and Larne and Belfast in Northern Ireland. An old military airfield near the Scottish town of Stranraer has been earmarked as an emergency lorry park in case of major delays at ferry terminals linking the country with Northern Ireland. Transport Scotland, a Scottish government agency, has been struggling to find space to stack lorries if there are significant hold-ups at two ferry terminals at Cairnryan, to the alarm of freight operators.

UK puts navy on standby to protect fishing if Brexit talks fail Published on Share Britain on Saturday readied armed Royal Navy ships to patrol its fishing waters if tempers flare after a “no-deal” Brexit as a make-or-break deadline approached for talks with the European Union.

UK readies navy to protect fishing if Brexit talks fail

Britain on Saturday (12 December) readied armed Royal Navy ships to patrol its fishing waters if tempers flare after a “no-deal” Brexit as a make-or-break deadline approached for talks with the European Union. Four 80-metre vessels have been placed on standby to guard British waters from EU trawlers in case the two sides decide to abandon efforts to secure a free-trade agreement on Sunday. The development is part of increased contingency planning on both sides of the Channel, and evokes memories of the “Cod Wars” with Iceland over fishing rights in the North Atlantic in the 1960s and 70s. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said it is “very, very likely” the talks will fail, and Britain will revert to World Trade Organisation (WTO) terms with its largest single trading partner.
