DP World’s London Gateway is a unique development that combines the U.K.’s newest deep-sea container port with Europe’s largest logistics park.
Only 25 miles from London, DP World London Gateway is now the closest deep sea port to the U.K.’s largest markets – London, Birmingham and Manchester.
The port is now operating with its first berth open. When fully developed it will be able to handle 3.5 million TEU a year and is forecast to create 36,000 jobs, contributing GBP 3.2bn (USD 5bn) to UK GDP annually.
London Gateway opened on November 7, 2013, with the MOL Caledon calling as part of the SAECS service.
Recently, London Gateway marked its first year in business with a series of new deep-sea container shipping services provided by the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), Hamburg Süd, and the Chilean line CSAV.
