  I haven't read the article because it's too hot to get exasperated and I need to crack-on with my bucket list as a precaution. But I hope we can agree that it's alarming. I wouldn't want to be a parliamentarian who presided over Doomsday and so, if there's a chance of meltdown, government should commence asking the border industry (who have been quite vocal on Brexit consequences for really some time now) what HMG can have, instead of preaching what it wants. Anything involving more land or more people is out of the question around these parts if one is talking about Spring next year; so, for example, one should forget about consumer protection controls at the border or bringing back cabotage - since we currently have insufficient haulers of our own.
  
  But judging from the posts above, it sounds like the article is yet more vague "journalism"; 'crash out' sounds like Spring 2019, but 'no deal' - is that with the EU or with RoW countries, and does it concern process or tariffs? It doesn't help Dover Straits routes, but RoW-facing boxports should be little affected beyond government system changes to keep the customs duty and some of the VAT for the Treasury - and to collect higher rates of duty if one assumes that the RoW deals Dr Fox is indeed working on won't be in place in time. Those ports have staff and land in place and can stack their customers one on top the other. Ro-ro ports cannot, so I'm planning on a nice cliff-top picnic to watch the fun.
