A MASSIVE power failure at Southampton Container Terminal is thought to have brought dock operations to a standstill on Tuesday evening.
Cranes are believed to have ground to a halt at the docks when the power failure struck. Telephone lines were affected.
A spokesman for Southern Electric said that the electrical network at the dock was privately operated but confirmed that dock bosses had called for assistance to help get operations back to normal.
