The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company, trading as the Port of Felixstowe, owns and operates the port's container, Ro-Ro and rail-terminal facilities and serves as the statutory and competent harbour authority within the port. Companies House records the active statutory company as ZC000205, while its current tax strategy identifies Hutchison Ports Europe and CK Hutchison Holdings as the indirect parent chain. The operator's current site lists 28 quay cranes along 3,773 metres of quayside, about four million TEU and 2,000 vessel calls a year, plus two Ro-Ro bridges. Three rail terminals have 20 working tracks, more than 11 kilometres of track and up to 58 trains a day. Felixstowe's marine team coordinates berthing, mooring and terminal-side vessel services; Harwich Haven Authority remains responsible for Haven vessel traffic services, pilotage and the maintained approach channel. For TC01361, the Felixstowe company is the buyer that selected ZPMC for four ship-to-shore cranes at GBP 43.594 million excluding VAT.
