New tanker jetty opens at London Gateway

A new tanker jetty has opened at London Gateway and is now receiving its first shipments, offloading as much as 90,000 tonnes of fuel when fully laden.

 DP World has worked closely with Shell as the land and infrastructure of the disused brown field site have transitioned into DP World's ownership for the construction of the new London Gateway deepwater container port and logistics park.

London Gateway, set to open for container handling in Q4 2013, will save an estimated 65m road freight miles every year as many goods will no longer need to be transported from deep sea ports to inland distribution centres. Instead, goods will be sent straight into the new London Gateway Logistics Park and then directly to shops and homes.
