You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Some of the requests in your petition would be operational matters for the port authorities or owners, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling for funding to ease port congestion, if this is something you would like to see happen.
