Port risks

TT Club has warned that smaller road users like e-bikes and e-scooters presents unique challenges at ports, terminals and logistics facilities. These locations are typically designed to accommodate large vehicles and cargo handling equipment. The smaller vehicles are less visible, making traffic management and the prevention of human-machine collisions much more difficult. TT's risk assessment manager Neil Dalus said, with reference to paved surfaces in particular: "Designed to withstand high volumes and heavy loads, the terminal surfaces often suffer significant wear and tear, resulting in uneven road conditions. For smaller wheeled battery electric vehicles, these conditions can be hazardous."
