A freight service at the north terminal of the Port of Felixstowe derailed on Tuesday, June 18.
A source close to the port says it is understood "an investigation into the incident will be carried out".

Greater Anglia also confirmed their services were affected for a small period of time, but the delays were kept to a minimum as the damage was contained within the port.
