Monkey stowaway at Felixstowe
A stowaway monkey was cared for by Suffolk Trading Standards officers after the "Skagen Maersk" arrived at Felixstowe on from Malaysia on June 14, 2011. Officers were alerted to the macaque monkey by crew members on board the vessel shortly after setting off on their voyage on May 27. Under UK rabies rules, monkeys are only permitted to be imported at specified airports, requiring an import licence and six months' quarantine. The Port of Felixstowe is not approved to import animals and so bringing an animal ashore there would be classed as an offence. But Suffolk Trading Standards officers have been working with Animal Health and the UK Border Agency to allow the monkey to be transported from Felixstowe to the Wales Ape and Monkey sanctuary at Caehopkin, near Swansea.
