Overview
- Southampton's Ocean Cruise Terminal, which was evacuated Monday after reports of a gas smell, reopened once SGN called it a false alarm.
- The closure covered Dock Gates 4 and 5 as ABP paused operations and engineers investigated, and SGN said there is no gas mains connection near the site.
- Cunard’s Queen Anne left about four hours late, departing at 8:30 pm instead of 4 pm.
- About 100 passengers waited at the VOCO hotel as traffic backed up on West Quay Road, Platform Road, Town Quay, and the Itchen Bridge.
- Passengers reported confusion, with some mobility‑impaired travelers struggling to get help reaching the terminal.
