Explanation:

Warm currents along the coast make the coastal areas warmer and cold currents make them cooler than usual.

The ports of British Isles are washed by the warm North Atlantic Drift which raises the winter temperature of the British Isles.

Due to the influence of the Warm Drift, the port of British Isles remains open during the winter season, while the ports on the north-east coast of Canada, located in the same latitudes, remain frozen for several months because of the influence of the cold Labrador Current.
