The Port of London Authority (PLA) says that the Government go ahead for the new
London Gateway port on the north bank of the Thames in Essex is the most
significant development in the Port of London in over a century.

DP World's plans for London Gateway involve a major new container terminal and the
UK's largest logistics/business park - all on a 1,500 acre brownfield, former oil
refinery site, just 20 miles from London and close to the major markets in the
south east of England.

Welcoming the news, PLA chairman, Simon Sherrard, said:

"...London Gateway will give the UK the additional container handling capacity it
so clearly needs, making the movement of cargoes as efficient as possible in a
global world to the ultimate benefit of consumers. As a project it has strong
sustainable development credentials - bringing a brownfield site back into use and
creating jobs as an integral part of the Government's landmark Thames Gateway
vision".
