Foreword
London attracts business, it attracts investment, it attracts people, it’s the powerhouse of the UK economy. Serving London and the wider south east is the tidal Thames, home to the UK’s second largest and most diverse port.
The river Thames has driven the growth of the London economy for over 2000 years. And that’s not changing. Today we see investment along the river worth almost £2.5 billion, from new and extended terminals to new vessels and new piers.
Among the developments are the Port of Tilbury northern extension scheme, the new Cory Environmental waste to energy plant at Belvedere and the refurbishment of the OIKOS oil products terminal. From late 2013, the new London Gateway container port scheme is set to open London up to the largest container ships currently being built.
In economies looking for growth, ports are increasingly the place to be. And if you’re looking to grow your business what better place to be than on the Thames? Here you can benefit from direct access to the largest consumer market in the UK and unrivalled communications links by sea, road, rail and air.
If you’re looking to bring trade to London for the first time, expand your existing trades or use the river for moving goods within London, it’s time to talk to operators of terminals and vessels on the Thames. This Handbook gives you a great source of contacts, but if you want further guidance, give us a call. Our team of planners and harbour masters will put you in touch with the right people and work with you as you develop your scheme, whatever the cargo.
There’s never been a better time to come to London. We look forward to welcoming you.

Y EAR AFTER YEAR, the River Thames
threads its way through the lives, work and
livelihood of millions of people.
It’s a river with many personalities:
transporting millions of tonnes of freight,
moving people for work and pleasure,
providing iconic views for cruise passengers, and offering
a wonderful environment for rowing and leisure boats and
events such as the University Boat Race.
It’s a river that takes the pressure off London’s busy
road network every day, as barge loads of rubbish go out
and tonnes of aggregates come in, eliminating the need for
thousands of heavy truck journeys in the capital.
This year – 2012 – will be the same, with a lot of added
sparkle.
• As the Queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee in June,
a flotilla of up to 1,000 boats will make its way from Putney to
Tower Bridge.
• After years of anticipation and meticulous planning,
the London Olympics will finally get under way in July. The
Olympic torch will be transported on a floating stage from
Hampton Court to Stratford, and the Games will begin.
Undoubtedly, the world’s gaze will fall on London and
the River Thames in 2012. As the countdown to the Games
continues, there are still many materials to be delivered to the
Olympics venues and athletes’ village – everything from sports
and timing equipment to energy drinks, food and sports kit.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games
(LOCOG) has established a major logistics base at the Port of
Tilbury; the river is playing its part in the onward delivery of
freight to the Olympic sites, and up to 8% of spectators are
expected to travel to several of the venues by river, particularly
Greenwich and the O2, Woolwich and Excel.
Meanwhile, hundreds of yachts and leisure craft are
expected to make their way up the river and into the
surrounding waterways, another issue that needs careful
management.
As ever, safety and security will be paramount for the
Port of London Authority, which is involved in various forums
around the Olympic Games, and maritime safety.
“Our focus is on ensuring that safety is maintained,”
says Julian Parkes, the PLA’s harbour master (safety
management system) and port security officer. “PLA leave has
been restricted at key dates to ensure that we have resources
to deal with the additional work; the Olympic Games and the
Jubilee celebrations will be major events, but alongside these
the work of the commercial port must continue uninterrupted.
Essentially, it is business as usual for us as an organisation,
but it is going to be far busier – and we have to match that
demand.”
In parallel to the headline events of 2012, the Thames
is also playing a central role in a series of enormous
infrastructure projects in the capital.
The Blackfriars station redevelopment has already
demonstrated how the river can offer a low-carbon, low-
congestion transport solution, with demolition materials
heading out, and steel, construction materials and even half a
station platform coming in, all by barge.
The Lee Tunnel, the first stage of Thames Water’s huge
investment in improving the water quality of the river, is also
using the Thames as a primary transport route for spoil and
building materials.
Next come the £15 billion Crossrail project and the
Thames Tideway Tunnel, which will also rely heavily on the
river for transporting spoil land construction materials.
The PLA has worked closely with the Olympic Delivery
Authority (ODA), the government, the mayor of London and
other bodies in preparing for 2012.
Emergency plans and procedures have been reviewed
and a number of emergency exercises undertaken to ensure
that everyone clearly understands their role and that in the
case of any kind of emergency, the PLA’s response plans are
resilient and up to date.
Spotlight on the Thames
Undoubtedly, the world’s gaze will fall on London and the River Thames in 2012, as the countdown to the Games continues...

‘Plan ahead’ has been the message from the PLA to
recreational boaters considering visiting London during the
Olympics.
“We do not anticipate a huge increase in commercial
traffic as a result of the Games – where the big difference will
be the potential for visiting recreational craft, and we can’t be
certain of numbers until they actually arrive,” says Julian
Parkes.
“But we are expecting a large number of visiting craft and
clearly, from a navigational safety perspective, we don’t want
dozens of vessels bobbing about on the river with nowhere to
go. Anybody coming into London at that time needs to make
sure they have a safe berth to go to for the duration of their
stay.”
The PLA has been busy licensing additional small craft
moorings and has published a booklet showing where
commercial operators could establish further temporary
moorings. It has also been reviewing its systems for managing
the extra traffic.
Leaflets and posters have been sent out to marinas,
sailing clubs and similar locations around the UK and
northwest Europe, emphasising that mooring and boating
facilities are limited in ports, marinas and inland waterways on
or near the Thames and giving the important message: “If you
are planning to travel to the Thames in your own boat for the
summer of 2012, you must make sure you have pre-booked
and confirmed a mooring before you begin your journey.”
The PLA has also asked yacht clubs and marinas
within the port to supply details of confirmed bookings, so that
those who have booked can display formal identification on
their boats. This will identify them as a visiting vessel with a
confirmed mooring – an important part of a system of
‘Gatekeeper Patrols’ being set up to deal with any boats that
arrive with no moorings booked.
“The Gatekeeper Patrols, who will use RIBs, will be able
to identify visiting craft and check their ID; those without ID
will be stopped and, if they don’t have any moorings, will be
directed to anchorage,” says Julian Parkes. “If no mooring can
be found, they will have to go elsewhere.”
A special resident’s ID will also be available for those who
routinely keep their boats on the Thames, so that they are
disturbed as little as possible by the PLA or police patrols.
Getting the message out
The PLA’s Marine Services team will be
installing the equivalent of three miles of moorings over the
stretch of river from Barn Elms to Tower Bridge ready to
accommodate commercial and private vessels
coming from across the Commonwealth to London for
the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant. The work will
include installing 200 mooring points at Barn Elms.
Marine Services is also putting in additional moorings
to accommodate emergency standby vessels during the
Olympic Games.
More moorings
Tall ShipsSail Greenwich also takes part at the time of the London
Olympic Games. Sixteen tall ships will be based at Woolwich
Ship Tier, where the PLA has installed additional moorings,
and trips will be run upriver to the Tower.

THE SUCCESSFUL POLICY OF
‘SAFEGUARDING’ WHARVES FOR
FREIGHT OPERATIONS IN LONDON has
attracted interest from many other key
waterways throughout Europe. And if
anyone wonders why it’s so vital to protect
these facilities, here are a few good reasons:
• More than two million tonnes of cargoes, including
aggregates, petroleum products, containers, household refuse
and construction spoil, are carried up and down the Thames
every year – just imagine putting all that on to London’s roads.
• Major developers have started using the river’s
barges as a low-carbon, low-congestion way of taking
demolition spoil out and bringing construction material in.
Network Rail’s major redevelopment of Blackfriars Station and
Thames Water’s construction of the Lee Tunnel rely on the
Thames as a primary transport route;
• The Thames will play a central role in a series of other
huge infrastructure projects, including the £15 billion Crossrail
project and the Thames Tideway Tunnel. The alternative would
be truck gridlock across the city.
• Aggregates volumes into London increased by over
25% in 2011; without the wharves, those volumes would come
in anyway, but they would be transported by road.
• Companies revising their supply chain strategies are
considering green, waterborne transport solutions. The
Thames provides the route – and those solutions need
landside facilities.
The Thames is by far the UK’s busiest inland waterway
for freight, and it’s clear that volumes are set to increase
dramatically.
Over the years, the PLA has worked closely with the
Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority to
safeguard wharves for operational use, rather than allowing
these sites to be used for waterside residential developments.
A total of 50 wharves along the length of the tidal Thames
within Greater London have so far been formally safeguarded –
but rather than keeping the status quo regardless, in 2011 the
GLA, with the PLA’s support, carried out a review and update
of the list, based on an independent forecast of supply and
demand.
The review, which has gone out for consultation, split
London into three sub-regions – West, South East and North
East – and considered the cargo handling characteristics of
each region. It also factored in the London Plan, which looks
ahead to 2031, and the major infrastructure projects, ongoing
and planned, and what effect they will have on demand.
As a result:
• In the West sub-region, the review recommends that
all safeguarded wharves remain protected; it predicted there
would be more demand than supply for aggregates and waste;
• In the South East sub-region, the review
recommended releasing three safeguarded wharves and
amending the boundaries of two others; it found an excess of
supply over demand in all cargo categories;
• In the North West sub-region, the review found
The Thames is by far the UK’s busiest inland waterway for freight, and it’s clear that volumes are set to increase dramatically.
Safeguarding and promoting a vital artery
P O R T O F L O N D O N H A N D B O O K 2 0 1 212
S a f e g u a r d i n g a n d P R O M O T I N G A V I T A L A R T E R Y
more demand than supply for handling aggregates, but for
other cargo categories there was an excess of supply over
demand; it recommended releasing six wharves, including two
in Bow Creek and one in Barking Creek, and recommended the
safeguarding of Alexanders Wharf, reactivate five years
ago and handling stainless steel scrapFeedback from the
consultation exercise will be considered by the GLA early in
2012, before detailed recommendations are submitted to the
Department for Communities and Local Government.
“Safeguarding has been in place for more than 15 years
and is now firmly established as an important element of
strategic planning in London,” says Jim Trimmer, the PLA’s
head of planning and partnerships. “We can protect and we
have protected wharves from inappropriate development; now
we need to focus on the second stage, reactivating those that
are lying vacant and underused. Although we will seek to work
with landowners, Compulsory Purchase Orders will be used
where necessary in order to ensure best use of these valuable
assets.”
The arrival of the Arklow Star at the newly built Conway’s
Wharf jetty towards the end of 2011 marked the successful
reactivation of another safeguarded wharf. The Arklow Star,
delivering aggregates from Belfast, was the first ship to call
at the former Erith Jetty since a major investment in the site
by Kent-based highways, maintenance and civil engineering
company FM Conway.
Conway’s has invested £12 million to create one of the
UK’s most modern asphalt recycling plants and build a new
jetty. The site, which will handle up to 400,000 tonnes a year,
is well placed to service the company’s road maintenance
contracts throughout London and the South East.
The PLA is currently involved in two other major
reactivation projects – at Peruvian Wharf, where Brett
Aggregates is planning to start cargo handling operations, and
at Orchard Wharf, where Aggregate Industries plans to handle
over 500,000 tonnes of aggregate and cement annually.
“These are three very positive cases; with wharves lying
vacant elsewhere, we are looking to increase the speed of
reactivation,” says Jim Trimmer. “We are seeing continued
and increasing demand from operators for wharfage inside
and outside London. There is a real spur from the major
construction projects in the city but there is also natural growth
occurring. It is a fantastic opportunity to revitalise the capital
and the waterway.”
Back in Action

P O R T O F L O N D O N H A N D B O O K 2 0 1 214
Lafarge Cement’s 42-hectare Northfleet site will play a
key role in the Crossrail project, following a major investment
in the reconnection of rail freight facilities to the main north
Kent line (shown above).
The rail sidings are expected to be operational from mid
February 2012 and Crossrail will be the first main user of the
restored line. Excavated material from the western tunnel bore
at Royal Oak, near Paddington, will be transported by train
to Northfleet, for onward transportation by ship for beneficial
reuse at the RSPB reserve at Wallasea Island.
Lafarge had already invested £15 million in the Northfleet
site, and completion of the rail link will see this investment
almost doubled. “The linkage of the site to the main line
represents another important step in the regeneration and
redevelopment of Northfleet embankment,” said a spokesman
for the company.
The Thames will be a major transport route for spoil
from Thames Water’s Tideway Tunnel, a seven-metre
diameter sewer which will run more than 20 kms from west to
east London, broadly following the route of the river. The 7 km
Lee Tunnel, which links into this and provides the first stage of
Thames Water’s tunnelling project, is already well under way
and will generate over 1.5 million tonnes of spoil, all of which
will go out of London by water. This spoil is heading to the
Mucking landfill site, for use in the final restoration there.
Additionally, substantial volumes of aggregates are
already being transported on the river to nearby safeguarded
wharves for the project.
The main Tideway Tunnel will generate million
more tonnes of spoil, and the project will also require the
import of considerable amounts of building materials.
“There is huge potential in the Tideway Tunnel, from
Acton to Abbey Mills, for spoil to go out and materials to come
in by river,” says Jim Trimmer. “This is a game-changer – it is
very important. We are working with the Mayor and Transport
for London to realise our ‘river first’ policy – to maximise the
use of the river for sustainable transport and take vast numbers
of HGV movements off London’s busy roads.”
Lafarge Cement vision
Tideway Tunnel
The River Thames has been
vital in the smooth progress of the
Blackfriars station redevelopment
by Network Rail (shown right). The
first railway station to straddle the
river, it is being built as part of the
Thameslink programme.
Where the Blackfriars project
has shown the way, other
developers are following – instead
of automatically using road
transport to move demolition
materials out and construction
materials in, there is a genuine
desire to choose more sustainable
options and choose waterborne
transport solutions wherever
possible.
The developers behind the
£15 billion Crossrail project signed
a memorandum of understanding
with the PLA to maximise the use of
the Thames and the port in its
construction.
At least 4.5 million tonnes of
spoil from the tunnelling stages of
the project will be moved out of
the capital by river, while coming
inwards the river will be vital for
moving tunnel boring machines,
pre-cast concrete segments,
aggregates, cement, steel rails,
cable, tiles, tools and equipment to
sites along the new rail route.
In December 2011, Crossrail
announced that it had awarded
the contract to ship the excavated
material out of the capital to a joint
venture of BAM Nuttall and Van
Oord. The first spoil will start
coming out by river in 2012; it will
be shipped to Wallasea Island,
Essex, to create a new RSPB nature
reserve.
Three riverside work sites will
be used for the Crossrail project –
Instone Wharf, where spoil will go
out and concrete sections will come
in; Barking Jetty, handling spoil
going out; and Lafarge Cement’s
Northfleet facility, handling spoil out.

WHY LONDON? Well, let’s start
with location, efficiency,
safety, choice, and a whole
host of experts just waiting
to help you create the perfect
supply chain.
We can give you a long list of reasons why the Port
of London is attracting attention, investment and new
business; why shippers make London their priority call; why
importers and exporters consistently choose from its wide
variety of terminals; and why the river is the vital link in so
many critical, time-sensitive supply chains.
London, the UK’s second largest port, offers a network
of 70 terminals and wharf operations on the doorstep of the
UK’s biggest consumer market, and it offers an incredible
diversity of cargo handling: shortsea, deepsea, containerised,
roll-on/roll-off, dry bulks, liquid bulks, raw materials, semi-
finished components, fast-moving consumer goods, cars,
chemicals, crude oil, frozen food, fine wines … everything that
goes to make up the quality of life of millions of people within
the South East UK and beyond.
Of course London is busy; but everything will move up
several gears in 2012. This year the River Thames will be the
focal point for global attention, as the Queen celebrates her
Diamond Jubilee and then the London Olympics get under
way.
The Diamond Jubilee River Pageant, on 3 June, will
be one of the main events of the four-day weekend of
celebrations. A flotilla of up to 1,000 vessels will sail along the
Thames, headed by the Queen.
As London Mayor Boris Johnson told the BBC:
“I cannot conceive of a more fitting celebration of Her Majesty’s
60 years on the throne than a majestic flotilla of vessels, large
and small, winding their way along the iconic River Thames
and showcasing our proud maritime history.”
A few weeks later, on 27 July, the Olympic torch will be
transported on a floating stage from Hampton Court to the
opening ceremony of the London Games.
The Olympics 2012 have been an important catalyst for
investment and additional activity on the river, including City
Cruises’ £3.75 million investment in a 600-seat river liner,
LOCOG’s establishment of a massive import, warehouse and
distribution centre at the Port of Tilbury, and terminals up
and down the river handling construction materials and other
requirements for the various Olympic venues.
But quite apart from the Olympics, the Port of London
is attracting record levels of investment elsewhere, as ports,
terminals and wharves upgrade and develop facilities to meet

the growing demands of the UK’s biggest market – in turn
creating further economic growth and employment along the
Thames.
The scale of new development along the river is
unprecedented, with the value of investment projects just
completed, under way or planned adding up to nearly £2.5
billion.
Port of London Authority chairman Dame Helen
Alexander told guests at a parliamentary reception towards
the end of 2011: “The river is sustaining a massive level of
investment. This is long-term investment, creating good
quality, skilled jobs.”
Key developments ongoing or completed include:
• Port of Tilbury: Plans approved by the Secretary
of State for the £120 million NEXT (Northern Expansion of
Tilbury);
• Cory Environmental: £570 million invested in a new
energy from waste plant and tug fleet;
• Vopak: £40 million project to provide a new jetty and
terminal expansion;
• Lafarge Cement: £15 million already invested in rail
freight facilities at Northfleet, and that sum set to double in the
coming year;
• Transport for London: building a £1.5 million
passenger pier extension at Tower Pier;
• FM Conway: £12 million to provide a new asphalt plant
and jetty at Erith;
• Ford Motor Company: £5 million jetty refurbishment
due for completion in June 2012.
Of course, that’s before we talk about DP World’s
£1.5 billion London Gateway container port, now firmly
scheduled for an official opening in 2013.
Underpinning it all, with expert pilotage, vessel
traffic services, marine services, hydrographic surveying,
diving, training and environmental services, is the PLA, which
continues to invest in the infrastructure, equipment, hardware
and software required to deliver the services that are vital to
the smooth and efficient running of the port.
The long experience and in-depth knowledge of the PLA’s
teams is unrivalled – and always available. The message to
those considering their supply chain options for the capital is
clear. If you want to do something in London, talk to the PLA.
Its experts will find the partners to help you, the facility to best
serve you, and the solution that is just right for your specific
needs.
The multi-million pound conversion of Tilbury Power
Station (shown above) from coalfired to biomass is a world
first – and attracting a huge amount of attention.
The power station is now 100% fuelled by a
combination of wood pellets and Tall oil, which is a by-
product of wood pulp manufacture, to deliver 750 MW of
green power.
“We stopped burning coal in March 2011 and started
up with biomass on December 3,” says station manager
Nigel Staves. “There have been part-conversions of power
stations before but never a full biomass conversion. We
are going to reduce our CO2 emissions by 80% and also
reduce our SOx and NOx emissions. This is attracting a lot of
interest, and the project will inform the whole of the RWE
group in terms of technology and commercial issues.”
The power station, which first began operation in 1969,
was heading for closure in 2015 under new EU environmental
regulations. Now it has embarked on an 8,000-hour trial with
biomass before its next scheduled relicensing – this time as
a new biomass power station. If all goes well, the conversion
will be official and further investment could follow.
Apart from the power station itself, the conversion work
has included fitting two Vigan vacuum unloaders which
move wood pellets at a rate of 500 tonnes/hour from the
vessel and replaced the continuous ship unloaders (CSU)
used for coal. However, no special storage will be provided
until after the trial, and all the fuel is being delivered on a
just-in-time basis. About 80% of the biomass will come from
North America, and 20% from mainland Europe.
“In one year we expect to burn 2.5 million tonnes of
wood pellets, which will come in shipments of about 45,000
tonnes, and 50,000 tonnes of Tall oil, delivered 5,000 tonnes
at a time,” says Nigel Staves.
“The reason for converting to biomass is that it meets all
the requirements to decarbonise the economy – and we are
looking at reducing carbon across RWE.”
The trial will take the power station through to the
first quarter of 2013, during which time the company will
check and analyse fuel quality, availability and routes.
Less than 2% ash will be produced and RWE is looking at
opportunities to recycle this into fertiliser, for another
sustainable solution.
Green power at Tilbury
The Oikos Storage Terminal on Canvey Island is
being transformed by a £50 million investment which includes
a complete rebuild of the jetty, replacing the entire on-site
pipeline network, refurbishing or demolishing/rebuilding
dozens of tanks, building a high-tech control room and
refurbishing road-loading racks.
The bulk liquid storage terminal, which is owned by the
Australian financial services company Challenger, continued to
operate, albeit at a reduced level, during more than two years of
major construction work. At the start of 2012, with phase one of
the work reaching its conclusion, the terminal was ‘winding up’
to full operational capacity again.
“We have refurbished about 300,000 cubic metres of
storage tanks and created a state-of-the-art, computer-
controlled terminal which will be one of the safest and most
modern of its type in the UK and probably in Europe,” says Oikos
managing director Colin Horton. “We have invested upwards of
£50 million so far; now we are going into the second phase and
looking for customers and prospective projects.
“This is a big site of 65 acres and there is great
potential to invest in further state-of-the-art storage and continue
upgrading the facility.”
Oikos has also benefited from the opening of a new
road, Roscommon Way, which bypasses houses and makes
24/7 road-loading operations possible with no disruption for
local residents. As a result, the terminal has refurbished the road-loading racks to the latest standards.

Cruising at Endersley
The development of a cruise teminal at
Enderby Wharf on the Greenwich Peninsula
has been given its final approval by London
Mayor Boris Johnson. Greenwich Council
had previously given its consent and is now
finalising an agreement with the developer
to enable preliminary works to start in the
middle of 2012.
The cruise terminal is part of the first
phase of a development which will also
include a large hotel, 770 new homes, and
commercial and leisure accommodation.
Also part of the plan is the refurbishment of
the riverside Enderby House, a listed
building which features in the classic novel
Moby Dick.
West Properties planning director
James Blakey, on behalf of the developer,
says: “We have exhibited at Seatrade Miami
for the past two years and also at the
European cruise conference in Hamburg in
2011 and the response has been extremely
encouraging. We have spent a significant
amount of time presenting to and meeting
the cruise industry and this has paid off,
with a number of provisional calls already
secured at Enderby Wharf.
“Greenwich Council and the Port of
London Authority are two key delivery
partners and both have devoted
considerable energies to making the cruise
terminal a reality. The tourism potential is
huge and Enderby Wharf will add
significantly to the vast array of cultural,
historical and entertainment attractions in
London and Greenwich.”
Enderby Wharf is well located for the
cruise industry, being equidistant between
the Greenwich Maritime World Heritage Site
and the O2 complex, and within easy reach
of the Jubilee Line, Docklands Light Railway,
Maze Hill Railway Station and the Thames
Clippers river bus service.
In 2009, research commissioned on
behalf of the Mayor of London identified
London as a must-see destination – but
concluded that the lack of a purpose-built
cruise terminal represented a significant
missed opportunity. The research identified
Enderby Wharf as the most viable site,
thanks to its deep water, its location and the
potential to deliver the terminal as part of a
wider mixed-use regeneration scheme.
The UK’s only floating ready-mixed concrete plant is back
in town and playing a major part in the development of East
London’s former Docklands area while keeping hundreds of
trucks off the city’s roads (shown above).
Moored at Wood Wharf in West India Docks, the Hanson
plant is supplying up to 800 cubic metres a day of concrete
to high-rise office and residential developments in the Canary
Wharf business and finance centre.
Most of the deliveries are to projects within half a mile of
the plant. Virtually all the aggregates are delivered by barge from
Hanson’s Dagenham depot, significantly reducing the number of
truck mixers and tippers on the busy local road network.
One of the first concrete producers to get a foothold at
Canary Wharf more than 10 years ago, Hanson had a land-based
plant initially, then moved it to a floating pontoon to make way
for building work. The floating plant was towed away in 2004
after producing more than 600,000 cubic metres of concrete for
high rise construction work.
However, when Hanson’s commercial team won further
contracts to supply concrete to Canary Wharf, it was over-
hauled, refurbished and brought back into service.

AS THE PORT OF TILBURY
CELEBRATED ITS 125TH
ANNIVERSARY IN 2011, of course
this multimodal, multipurpose hub
had a proud history to look back on.
But the focus was also very much
on the future, as its Project NEXT first gained the support
of the local planning committee and then, in November
2011, got the go-ahead from the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government.
Project NEXT is the name for the development of
30 hectares of land to the north of Tilbury’s existing port
estate; it will be a critical part of the port’s future, as it
expands to meet growing demand. As local Member of
Parliament Jackie Doyle-Price said: “The Port of Tilbury is
central to the local economy. I am pleased that in its 125th year,
Tilbury is thriving and looking to the future.”
The NEXT development offers excellent opportunities
for warehousing, logistics and haulage activities, enabling the
port to expand its focus on multimodal, added value logistics
solutions using road, rail and water connections.
Deepsea, shortsea, containerised, conventional or
challenging – Tilbury is unrivalled in the diversity of cargoes
it handles. And its location is unquestioned – right on the
doorstep of London and within easy reach of the UK’s largest
centre of population. Total throughput at the port was almost
14 million tonnes in 2011, an increase of about 2% on 2010.
Tilbury is the UK market leader for handling forest
products and paper, the third largest port for containers, and
the UK market leader for grain imports. It is also estimated to
support a total of nearly 6,000 jobs in Thurrock, which is 10%
of all employment in the borough. The NEXT development is
expected to create more than 1,100 new jobs; adding value for
a port that already provides a great deal of value.
While Tilbury offers diversity, it also offers a cohesive
mix; its tenants and customers form a real network, working
together and creating new business opportunities. And as the
‘southern link’ within its parent group Forth Ports, it can also
offer customers a perfect north/south solution for serving the
UK.
“Every customer has a different story; as a port, we work
with each customer individually to create the right solutions to
meet their needs, with the focus on low-carbon supply chains,”
says Perry Glading, chief operating officer of Forth Ports.
“But we are also proud of the real network of operations and
cross-pollination of ideas going on at Tilbury.”
Tilbury’s location can’t be bettered when it comes to
developing port-centric solutions and the port is seeing
increasing interest in this area, especially from customers
whose leases in the Midlands ‘golden triangle’ of distribution
centres are coming up for renewal.
“Customers and shippers are much more open to new
ideas,” says Perry Glading. “They are asking themselves why
they have a Midlands warehouse; but they don’t necessarily
know how to go about making the changes. There is some very
fragmented thinking, and we aim to help logistics operators
untangle the logistics cobweb.”
Roughly speaking, half of Tilbury’s cargo volumes are
containers – and there are significant opportunities to expand
this. Early in 2012, Forth Ports, the owner of the Port of Tilbury,
became the 100% owner of the former Tilbury Container
Services (TCS) deepsea terminal; the plan now is to combine
the deepsea facilities with the port’s Short Sea Container
Terminal as one integrated facility, London Container Terminal.
“We believe we have a perfectly balanced portfolio,
the best of all worlds,” says Perry Glading. “There are clear
synergies between deepsea and shortsea containers, and
though our coastal links with Grangemouth, also part of Forth
Ports.”
Another unique feature of Tilbury is the high volume
of business activities linked to recycling, including Cory
Environmental and EMR’s scrap metal operation.
The Port of Tilbury has 125 tenants, ranging from
Hyundai, importing more than 45,000 cars a year, to Grimaldi
Line, operating services into the port from West Africa and
South America, to CEMEX UK, operating a 1.2 million tonne
capacity cement grinding and blending plant on the quayside.
Such variety gives long-term security of tenure and
revenue and an incredibly broad base on which to build.
One relatively new arrival is the London Organising
Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games
(LOCOG), which has taken on 500,000 sq ft of warehousing at
the port and also made Tilbury its logistics headquarters. The
implications for major movements of cargo through the first
half of 2012 are obvious.
Tilbury has more than 30 operational berths, 16
independent terminals, 7.5 kilometres of quay, over 500,000
square metres of warehousing, and significant storage space
within a 325-hectare estate, not including NEXT.
Deepsea, shortsea, containerised, conventional or challenging – Tilbury is unrivalled in the diversity of cargoes it handles.
What next for Tilbury?
• The East and West India Dock
Company had the vision to build a new
port well away from the London Docks.
The new Tilbury Deep Water Dock was
opened by company chairman
Mr Dobree in 1886. The first ship to call
was the iron screw steamer Glenfruin,
carrying the official party for the
opening ceremony.
• Tilbury Docks was amalgamated
with the London Docks when the Port
of London Authority was formed in
1909.
• The first deepwater riverside
berth was opened for Tilbury Container
Services in 1978.
• The port was acquired by Forth
Ports in 1995.

Why Tilbury?
MacAndrews: a sustainable choice
Samskip Multimodal container logistics: flexibility
Tilbury is a key hub in Samskip’s network of European
services, and the multimodal logistics provider is looking at
ways to develop associated storage and distribution services
direct from the port.
Samskip uses Tilbury to serve the southern part of the
UK, as far north as the Midlands, and currently brings in four
or five vessels a week from Rotterdam.
“As soon as the demand is there, we can increase this to
six or seven if need be,” says route director Diederick Blom.
“We are constantly tuning our capacity to demand; we can be
flexible and increase capacity when needed. For example, if
there is demand for additional capacity to Tilbury based on the
Olympic Games, we will react immediately.”
Samskip has an extensive European network of rail,
barge and shipping services: “Through that network, we
connect the UK with a large part of Europe – to Italy, the Czech
Republic, Germany, Benelux and Scandinavia. We offer both
door to door services for customers looking for transport
between the UK and these countries, and also quay to quay
services.”
The company tries to do as little transport by road as
possible, always choosing other modes when it can. And it
is looking to increase its operations at the port in order to
provide sustainable supply chain solutions for customers.
“Working with Tilbury, we have asked ourselves the question:
why would it be necessary to transport goods to the Midlands
and then distribute them back to the South East of the UK?
Wouldn’t it be much more efficient to distribute from the port
entrance?
“We are getting very geared up to do that in cooperation
with the port – and customers are reacting very positively.”
Samskip doesn’t necessarily have to operate its own
warehousing, but can work with partners within the port
community, says Diederick Blom: “There are facilities in Tilbury
that we are using already and there are more possibilities
there. Meanwhile, we are always looking at rail as an option,
because we very much believe in multimodal transportation.”
Tilbury is growing in importance as a strategic hub
for shortsea container shipping line MacAndrews, which
operates services from Spain and Poland into the port.
The Bilbao service calls twice a week at Tilbury on a
Bilbao/Tilbury/Rotterdam/Bilbao rotation, using two 700 teu
vessels, the Canopus J and the Dana Gothia. The Polish
service, weekly to/from Gdynia, is operated by the
508 teu Dette G. Both services use Tilbury’s Short Sea
Terminal, which is designed for time-sensitive European
intermodal services.
MacAndrews has been using the Port of Tilbury since
April 2009. The line’s general manager operations, John
O’Sullivan, says: “It is important for us to get our vessels as
close to the final destination as possible. Moving goods on
water is the most economic and environmentally sustainable
mode of transport and we aim to maximise that maritime leg
without our network. This means Tilbury wins, with quick
turnarounds and direct access to the largest population
centre in the UK. The port’s position allows us to offer timed
deliveries in the South East.”
The port’s flexible working procedures and reliable
throughput has enabled MacAndrews to develop volumes –
“and we have recommended the port to other services”, says
John O’Sullivan.
“We aim to make Tilbury our hub and we are already
transhipping cargo to Spain from Poland and vice versa. This
hub effect will grow with additional services, whether operated
by us or third parties.”

Road transport group Maritime Transport has a
major presence at the Port of Tilbury – where its activities have
expanded well beyond what might be considered its
traditional sector.
In 2010, the company took over the operations of the
port’s common user rail terminal and, in 2011, it opened a
new logistics hub on the port’s Fortress Distribution Park,
offering 100,000 sq ft of warehousing. The Portside Logistics
Centre is directly connected to the Railport operation, to enable
intermodal transport to and from Tilbury and throughout the
UK.
Maritime Transport already had a substantial container
haulage operation at Tilbury, with more than 100 trucks based
at the port. Railport can handle two trains simultaneously and
up to nine trains a day.
“Taking on the rail terminal was a strategic move into
a new area of business,” says managing director John
Williams. “This has been followed by our move into
warehousing; we see the development of port-centric
solutions as very significant and we intend to be part of
it. Whereas in the past we performed one element of the
international supply chain, now we are looking at
expanding along that supply chain, coming up with better,
smarter solutions for our customers.”
Maritime is offering terminal shunting, transfer to/from
trains, consolidation and deconsolidation of containers,
cargo transhipment, palletising, temporary storage and
delivery/collection throughout the UK. The logistics centre
serves as an opportunity to handle a whole range of cargoes
coming through the port, from building materials to fast-moving
container goods.
“Our strategy is to diversify outside our core
container business building on our roots in the
international supply chain,” says John Williams. “We are
looking to provide services where we can add value; we are
building our infrastructure, network and capability to deliver
those services too.”
Tilbury’s location is ‘excellent for serving London’, he
says. “The road network from the A13 provides direct access
to the M25 and other parts of the UK. The deepsea container
terminal brings goods in from afar but Tilbury is not simply a
single-product port; there are so many other activities going
on.”
Maritime Transport
P&O Ferries launched its Tilbury-Zeebrugge freight
service in July 2007 and volumes have grown steadily
ever since.
There are two large dedicated freight ships on
the route – the sisterships Norking and Norqueen,
each 17,884 gt with space for 145 units and cabins for
12 drivers. Between them the vessels make ten round
trips a week and there is capacity for further growth.
“Location, location, location – it is all about access to
London,” says P&O Ferries spokesman Brian Rees.
“Something like one-third of the UK’s consumer market is
literally on the doorstep – and as for the rest, it is about
proximity to the M25 and the port being rail
connected for onward transportation. From the
Zeebrugge perspective, the addition of the
service enables us to project Zeebrugge as a hub,
aswe also sail from Zeebrugge to Hull and Teesport.”
Operating out of Tilbury has been ‘a very positive
experience’, he adds. “We started small, gradually
made fleet changes as the business grew to bigger and
better ships, and have managed to grow volumes slowly
but surely ever since we launched the service – which is
quite an achievement when you consider the economic
climate of the past few years.
“We see scope from such a prime location to
develop feeder services for deepsea operators, and in
time to continue to expand our service as the market
requires.”
P&O Ferries: scope to expand
Scrap metal dealer and processor EMR (European Metal
Recycling) has been operational at the Port of Tilbury for 30
years. The company has a 12-acre site at Berths 13-20.
EMR has recently invested in two new cranes and
two new loading shovels for the Tilbury operation, and
continually invests in road haulage; it also makes use of some
rail transport.
The quayside site handles all the shredded scrap
produced by EMR’s state-of-the-art fragmentiser at
nearby East Tilbury – the fragmentiser is the largest of its kind
in the South East. The shredded metal is sold on to steel
mills all over the world. In addition, other EMR depots in the
South send compressed material to Tilbury for shipping to
customers worldwide.
EMR also brings scrap into Tilbury by ship from UK and
mainland European ports, for onward sales to the Far East and
the United States.
“We chose Tilbury for a number of reasons, including the
fact that it is a deepwater facility in a good location for scrap
exports,” says Bob Garwood, EMR’s director southern region.
Millford Grain is responsible for pricing and organising the
logistics of wheat imported from Canada by the leading bakery
brand Warburtons Ltd – and, as Warburtons has increased its
market penetration across the UK, its wheat volumes through
Tilbury Grain Terminal have also grown. In 2011, Millford Grain
imported over 90,000 tonnes of wheat through Tilbury.
Warburtons sources its wheat from the UK and Canada
to ensure it has the right blend to make the highest quality
products. Its Canadian wheat is shipped by Millford Grain out
of Port Cartier, on the St Lawrence River; Tilbury is the import
point for feeding millers across the South UK and those millers
subsequently supply Warburtons’ bakeries.
“Tilbury is perfectly placed for the distribution of wheat
to the millers in the South,” says Alistair Groves, managing
director of Millford Grain. “We have always had a very good
relationship with Tilbury – it is an excellent port and movement
in and out is generally easy.”
Warburtons has doubled in size over the past decade and
now has more than a dozen bakeries across the UK. Seven
years ago it increased its geographical spread by opening its
first bakery in the South East, at Enfield, enabling the business
to grow its market share in the south of the UK.
“This growth in the south of the UK means that Milford
Grain’s business through Tilbury has become increasingly
important,” said Alistair Groves.
Millford Grain imports the wheat in 25,000-30,000 tonne
shipments; it is stored at Tilbury Grain Terminal, ready to be
allocated and distributed to the millers, guaranteeing the
required stock levels between shipments.
London City Bond has steadily expanded its operations
at Tilbury since establishing a bonded warehouse there in the
1990s – and today it also has its headquarters at the port.
The north-south trades handled by Tilbury Container
Services (TCS) are a major driver in this and LCB is seeing
increasing volumes of wine imported from the New World
countries, says sales director David Hogg.
“The advantage of using Tilbury and having a bonded
warehouse on the port is that clients’ containers can come
in overweight with no restrictions because they are not
going out on the public highway,” he says. “That makes a huge
difference; if you can get a few more cases into the container,
it pushes down the shipping cost per case. With margins so
tight and the business so competitive, a few pennies can make
all the difference.”
LCB provides bonded, secure warehousing and
distribution of wine and beer for a wide range of customers,
including supermarkets and retailers, hotels, restaurants and
catering businesses, and wine shops.
An interesting development is that LCB is dealing
direct with an increasing number of New Zealand producers.
These smaller producers may ship part-container loads, or get
together and share a container. “That is certainly a growing
trend and they can make the most of the flexibility of different
services into TCS,” says David Hogg.
“But importers are also using Tilbury and our facility as
a springboard into Europe. They might ship a container here
with the vast majority of the wine going into the UK; and if
a customer in France or Germany wants a single pallet, it is
much easier to organise for it to be moved from our warehouse
by road across into mainland Europe rather than spending a
fortune to send one pallet all the way from New Zealand.”
LCB works closely with TCS on the movement of
containers from one site to the other. The collection of
containers from the quay and their return is a service which
LCB can offer to both existing and new customers.

Westfal-Larsen Shipping started calling
at the Port of Tilbury in January 2010, when
it started its monthly service from Asia.
It deploys specialised tonnage - open
hatch gantry vessels, usually within 48,000-
55,000 dwt – on the service.
“Tilbury is one of the main ports for
the import of plywood into the UK and is
therefore an important port for us,” says
Ann-Cristin Eggum, vice president
chartering and operations at Westfal-
Larsen. “In addition to plywood, we
occasionally have steel to the port, but this
is very seldom. We are always looking at
other cargo opportunities which can be
accommodated by Tilbury.”

IT IS THE BIGGEST PEACETIME LOGISTICS
OPERATION IN THE WORLD, and it involves
everything from table tennis balls and time
clocks to flat-pack furniture and boats; UPS
expects to handle some 30 million inventory items,
including one million pieces of sports equipment,
as it manages nearly all the logistics needs of the London
Olympics.
UPS is operating nearly one million square foot of
warehousing on behalf of the London Organising Committee
of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and the main
logistics centre for the task is a 550,000 sq ft hub within the
Port of Tilbury.
“Imagine turning the Olympic stadium upside down and
everything that falls out – apart from the people – is what we
manage,” says Alan Williams, UPS director of London 2012
sponsorship and operations.
“LOCOG has insourced the Games Logistics to UPS,
which means its people are embedded within LOCOG’s
headquarters at Canary Wharf, as well as working alongside
LOCOG’s logistics people at Tilbury and at a second logistics
centre in Stevenage. The scale of the operation is huge; at
the end of 2011, the joint logistics team numbered 200, but
in 2012 this will increase to 1,100, including 900 UPS people.”
Being based at Tilbury gives obvious advantages.
LOCOG has taken on premises at 46 Berth, where there has
been substantial investment in the multipurpose sheds and
also in providing additional covered storage areas by the quay.
The deepsea berths of London Container Terminal (LCT) are
just around the corner.
Part of UPS’s task is to handle the furniture for the
athletes’ village, which will provide accommodation for up to
18,000 athletes, trainers and officials. That’s an awful lot of
beds, wardrobes, chairs and other furniture, all of which will
be imported as flat packs from Asia into LCT.
Since autumn 2011, UPS has had a team of 80 people
working on the furniture alone; each piece is unpacked and
assembled at Tilbury, then transported to the village and
installed in the rooms. The task is expected to continue
through to April 2012.
UPS has created a slick transport solution for the
furniture, using 28 special demountable containers and
just three tractor units. The containers each have 50 cubic
metres capacity and because each tractor unit can carry two
at a time, this enables the movement of 100 cubic metres per
driver, and a very swift turnaround at each end.
From February 2012, UPS will also be looking to put
some of the furniture on barges up to the village site. “The
legacy we want to leave is that the Thames can be used as
part of the supply chain,” says Alan Williams. “We are
exploring the option of sending barges direct from Tilbury
into wharves close to the North Greenwich Arena, and then
covering the final four miles by road.”
The logistics task taken on by UPS includes taking
responsibility for customs clearance, freight forwarding,
courier services, the torch relay logistics, and even moving all
the baggage for the athletes when they arrive in the country –
an estimated quarter of a million pieces of luggage.
“Boxing rings, dumbbells, PCs, furniture, fixtures,
merchandising – we bring it all in, store it in the warehouses
and then move it into the venues using a dedicated fleet of
150 vehicles,” says Alan Williams. “It is the biggest logistics
operation in the world – and the peaks and troughs make it
even more of a challenge.”
And when the Games are over? ‘Reverse logistics’ will
swing into action. At the athletes’ village, UPS will dismantle
and repack the rented furniture for use elsewhere. And Alan
Williams says the biggest peak in logistics activity will likely
be in September, when the Paralympic Games are finished,
and everything has to be moved out again.

A change in ownership has brought
a new name and new opportunities
for deepsea container operations
at the Port of Tilbury. In January
2012, the former Tilbury Container
Services (TCS) was relaunched
together with the Port of Tilbury’s
Short Sea Container Terminal as London Container
Terminal, both now under the 100% ownership of Forth
Ports.
The change will enable Forth Ports (which previously held
a one-third share of TCS) to combine deepsea and shortsea
container facilities at the Port of Tilbury into one integrated
operation.
Despite the tough economic climate, the deepsea
facility still reported a 2.5% increase in throughput during
2011, handling about 320,000 containers. London Container
Terminal’s key strengths undoubtedly helped: its position
as the closest deepsea container terminal to London, its
strong focus on north-south trades, its expertise in handling
reefer cargoes, and the high volume of resilient commodities
imported through the deepsea terminal. But that doesn’t mean
it can take growth for granted.
Commercial manager James Leeson says: “We are proud
of the fact that we sell a personalised and customer-oriented
service. We genuinely think we are better at that than others –
and we hope that our customers agree. We are always aware
of the fact that our customers could make other choices.”
Last year’s volumes reflected growth ahead of average
UK performance, he adds. “We turned in an increase despite
difficult times. We are certainly not back at 2008 levels but we
can be satisfied with our performance in the current climate.”
The short sea terminal had even more success in 2011,
with volumes increasing by 7.5% to 145,000 boxes.
London Container Terminal’s deepsea operations
offer 600 metres of riverside quay with minimum depth of 13.5
metres, and 575 metres of in-dock quay with 10.5 metres
depth. The largest reefer terminal in the UK, it specialises
in frozen and refrigerated cargoes, including Australian and
New Zealand meat, and butter, cheese and fruit. It has clearly
benefited from the general trend away from traditional reefer
breakbulk shipments to transporting such cargoes in reefer
boxes.
“Most of our trades are reefer dominated and South
America continues to grow quite strongly,” says James
Leeson. “All the container lines on this route clearly have some
extra focus on reefers, to different degrees; to some lines it is
high priority but to others it is not quite as important. Some
view it very much as an area to invest in to make themselves
different – a bit like our own approach.”
London Container Terminal has 1,400 reefer ground slots
and is considering putting in more reefer plugs.
Reefer exports are doing well, too – although these
are small compared with imports. Products going out
include chocolate, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and also, on
occasions, works of art.
The deepsea terminal secured a number of new
services in 2011, including the joint Hamburg Sud/CCNI
weekly service linking the UK with Northern Europe, the
Caribbean, Panama Canal, US West Coast and Vancouver.
“This is a successful and unusual trade, particularly as it gives
the opportunity to pick up Californian imports into the UK
including grapes and stone fruits,” says James Leeson. “It also
offers (Chilean based) CCNI a hubbing connection through
Colombia – so we have a new customer in CCNI, and new
options.”
Another gain was Maersk’s Caribbean Reefer Express,
a seasonal service particularly busy with bananas and
pineapples, and the SAECS South African Reefer Express,
with large volumes of citrus.
Meanwhile Delmas’ weekly Nigeria Express service,
introduced in 2010, has continued despite the political
problems of the Ivory Coast, a key market on that trade.
Banana and pineapple volumes from Ghana are growing in
particular. “This is still a challenging trade to work on but over-
all we are happy with it – and it’s giving customers a good
option for West Africa,” he says.
As well as the general trend towards reefer boxes,
London Container Terminal is handling steadily increasing
sizes of ships. Hamburg Sud is phasing in its 7,100 teu Santa
class vessels on its East Coast South America service – these
vessels feature shallow draft, wide beam and higher reefer
capacity. Ships serving the Indian subcontinent are also
getting larger. “It is all part of the global development, with
larger ships cascading down from the East-West routes,” says
James Leeson.
The deepsea facility also demonstrated its flexibility
during 2011 by handling less routine vessels, including some
Hyundai car carriers, in support of the Port of Tilbury.

WHEN MEMBERS OF THE
DP WORLD TEAM TAKE
VISITORS AROUND THE
LONDON GATEWAY SITE in
the four-wheel drive, they like
to keep the Sat Nav switched
on. It’s a great way of demonstrating the scale of this new
deepwater container port; Sat Nav hasn’t caught up with
the reclamation, and visitors can view the vehicle leaving
dry land behind and driving 400 metres out into the water.
The London Gateway port and logistics park is rapidly
taking shape and DP World has confirmed that it will open for
business in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The ongoing transformation of the former oil refinery site
at Stanford-le-Hope is breathtaking. By the end of 2011, the
operation to dredge some 25 million cubic metres of material
was more than halfway completed. The dredge will allow the
world’s largest ships access to the port – the dredged material
is being used to create the six berths and raise the land of the
logistics park.
The project requires the land to be raised by two
metres for flood protection reasons. To assist in the ground
compaction, thousands of wick drains are being used across
the site to remove moisture, which is difficult to do naturally,
given the clay consistency of the ground.
The three kilometre quay wall is being built using
ten-storey-deep foundations; the construction to date has
involved excavating two parallel trenches for 1.25 kms, filling
them with concrete and using steel rods to tie them together.
DP World is upgrading the Thames Haven Branch Line,
including double tracking from the branch line to the port,
creating three terminals each with six 750-metre-long rail
sidings, the longest rail sidings of any UK port.
In October 2011, DP World confirmed it had placed some
substantial orders for equipment. ZPMC will provide eight of
the largest ship-to-shore quay cranes in the world, capable
of handling vessels of 18,000 teu. The Chinese supplier will
also provide three large rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes.
Cargotec will supply automated stacking cranes and straddle
carriers.
London Gateway is the largest development within the
Port of London for more than a century; when complete, it
will have 2,750 metres of quay, six deepwater berths, depth
alongside of 17 metres and 24 quay cranes. The port will have
an annual capacity of 3.5 million teu and is located just ten
miles from the M25 motorway and within 25 miles of central
London.
The first phase will open with three deepwater berths,
capable of accommodating the world’s largest containerships;
but what makes this project unique is the parallel development
of a nine million square foot warehousing and logistics park.
DP World believes the logistics park will offer
unbeatable opportunities for warehousing, distribution and
added value activities, and will be used by tenants with goods
to be exported to mainland Europe, especially with the choice
of links via road, rail, coastal shipping or barge.
With an opening scheduled for the fourth quarter 2013,
activity will step up tremendously onsite during 2012, says
London Gateway commercial director Charles Meaby. “All our
equipment and systems will be tested prior to opening to make
sure we operate to world class levels from day one.”
London Gateway is the ultimate brownfield development
– and it has also given DP World a blank piece of paper on
which to start. “We are creating a new location for cargo to
be imported and exported, one that is closer to the hinterlands
compared to our competitors,” says Charles Meaby.
“We already have Memorandum of Understanding
agreements with a number of customers, including shipping
lines and cargo owners. There is a natural benefit for cargo
owners to use London Gateway as their port of choice in
the UK, as they will benefit from shorter inland haulage and
therefore save time, money and CO2.”
The opening date announcement has clearly focused
minds, he says: “Next year, they can utilise the country’s
newest deepwater port, the closest to the UK’s largest
markets.”
Re-set the Sat Nav: there’s a whole new destination

WHAT DOES ‘GREEN’ MEAN?
For the Port of London
Authority, it means an
enduring commitment to
understanding, protecting and
enhancing the envronment of
the tidal Thames and a determination to operate in an
environmentally friendly way on both land and water.
But it also means balancing that commitment with the
needs of all stakeholders, including commercial shipping,
recreational users of the river and the local community.
Day-to-day this can mean assessing licenses for
everything from dredging for commercial operations on
the river to issuing permits to mudlarkers allowing them to
investigate the Thames foreshore. Longer term, the
environment group has been in the vanguard of licensing
and assessing DP World’s dredging and land reclamation
operations at London Gateway.
Oil spill response is an essential environmental
service provided by the PLA, which operates the vessels and
clean-up kit on behalf of the Thames Oil Spill Clearance
Association (TOSCA). TOSCA is made up of the oil and oil
products handling terminals on the river. The PLA has also
licensed and oversees from its London Port Control Centre a
ships’ fuel oil bunkering service in the Queen’s Channel, at the
mouth of the estuary off the Kent coast.
In all its environmental work, the PLA applies
environmental best practice, combined with a pragmatic,
can-do attitude. This balanced approach is reflected in the
PLA’s involvement in the process to create England’s new
Maritime Conservation Zones (MCZ). To be designated under
the UK’s Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, the MCZs will
protect marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology
of national importance, and will co-exist with the European
designated marine sites already in place.
The PLA played a very proactive role in the regional
stakeholder group meetings run by Balanced Seas, the
project set up. An MCZ is being proposed to cover the
whole of the tidal Thames for several migratory fish species,
with some areas designated specifically to protect particular
subtidal sediments. A reference area has also been proposed for
Holehaven Creek – this would mean that dredging was not
allowed. The PLA is working to ensure that this does not
impact on commercial operations on the Thames.
“We are fully supportive of the MCZ project; its aims
reflect our commitment to careful environmental stewardship,”
says Nicola Jenkins, the PLA’s environment manager. “We are
also mindful of the commercial activities of the port, and we
are working with the various bodies involved to ensure that the
two can happily co-exist, something operations on the Thames
already demonstrate is possible.”
Meanwhile, the PLA continues to work closely with the
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), in a unique
partnership agreement signed nearly four years ago.
A Conservation Management Framework for the Thames,
developed jointly by the PLA and RSPB, went through its first
three-year review in 2011; an updated and revised version of
the CMF is now on the website.
The Thames provides a diverse range of habitats
supporting more than 50 species of waterfowl, including
12 that are internationally important, and it welcomes up to
300,000 over-wintering birds each year.
Home territory
The River Thames provides a home for tentacled lagoon
worms, smelts, European eels, grey seals … and a whole lot
more.
The PLA’s environment team has recently produced a
colourful poster map entitled the ‘Ecology of the Tidal
Thames’, which illustrates where national nature reserves,
conservation areas and special protection areas are located,
and gives details of plants, animals and habitats of national,
European and international interest.
As the poster says:
“The River Thames has changed drastically over the past
600 years. From a grossly polluted river churning with sewage
and industrial waste supporting little, if any, life; it has made
a substantial recovery. Today it is home to a huge variety of
plants and animals, some of which are protected within its
multiple conservation areas.”

“We will take this poster to stakeholders, festivals, public
meetings and other events to make it available to the public,
and also put it on to the website,” says Nicola Jenkins.
An important area highlighted on the map is Oliver’s Ait,
one of nine mid-channel islands in the upper reaches of the
tidal Thames. This island is owned by the PLA, which has a
partnership agreement with the London Wildlife Trust for its
management; it is dominated by mature trees, which provide
refuge for nesting and roosting birds and bats, and the rare
swollen spire snail has been recorded there.
However, Oliver’s Ait needs some love and attention,
including work on its revetments to ensure it isn’t washed away
and some management of visitors who may cause damage to
the ecosystem. There is general concern about the state of
the island and its trees, and the PLA has already undertaken
some works to repair the revetments and clear unsafe and
dying trees.
A management plan has been formulated for the site and
work will be carried out to repair and protect the island.
“Oliver’s Ait has a lot of local support and there was
concern about its future,” says Nicola Jenkins. “We have
carried out stakeholder engagement meetings to inform people
what we are doing, and our plans will include controlling access
to the island. We would like to get residents involved in looking
after the island and we are working with the London Wildlife
Trust to make it a better place.”
As the search for clean, green energy continues, many
people are looking at the potential for tidal energy projects on
the River Thames – and the PLA’s environment team is getting
involved.
“We need fully to understand the impacts of tidal energy
systems and also we would like to consider the use of tidal
energy ourselves,” says Nicola Jenkins. “From the PLA point
of view, we need to understand the implications of installing
those operating regimes on to piers or other structures across
the Thames, in environmental and operational terms.
“For example, if the pressure changes as the flow goes
around the turbine, does that impact on fish and mammals? Or,
if you are suddenly taking energy out of the water, what is the
navigational impact?”
The PLA’s environmental commitment
encompasses everything it does – whether on
the river, on the shore or in its offices.
Recent initiatives have included:
• A very successful Environment Week;
• A beach clean-up – a team of 15,
including senior managers, collected two
large crates of rubbish;
• A competition to see which PLA office
floor recycled best;
• A photographic competition;
• New analysis of data and information
relating to the PLA’s carbon footprint.
In 2012, the PLA’s environmental
management system (EMS) is due for ISO
14001 recertification for the third time; at the
same time, the ISO 9001 quality accreditation
is due for recertification for the fifth time, and
the ISO 18001 health & safety standard is due
for its first recertification.
“Our integrated management system
covers all three systems and we have
been very successful in bringing them all
into alignment,” says Nicola Jenkins.
“Continual improvement is the key to it all
– making sure that we provide good quality
services while preserving the environment.
That is the backbone of everything we do.
“The environment isn’t a ‘separate’
issue; we get involved in so many
different projects in different areas. We work
with developers and operators before,
during and after, to ensure we achieve the
best results for the environment.”

EVERY ACCLAIMED PERFORMANCE
RELIES ON AN EXCELLENT BACK-
STAGE TEAM – and while giant ships
and slick port/logistics operations
may steal the limelight on the Thames,
it is the PLA’s experienced teams that
provide the essential behind-the-scenes back-up.
Diving, salvage, mooring maintenance, underwater
inspections, wharf services, boat lifting, load-out services,
storage services, driftwood and rubbish collections, aids to
navigation, pollution response … all of these (and more) are
provided by the PLA’s marine services team, along the 95-mile
length of the tidal Thames.
The marine services department is based at Denton
Wharf, near Gravesend; here, the PLA’s fleet of more than
40 vessels, including salvage, driftwood and work boats, is
maintained.
The PLA has invested more than £10 million at Denton
Wharf in the past decade – including, in 2011, a £700,000
project to strengthen the quay wall and expand the boat
storage and working area.
“This latest work brings Denton Wharf to maximum
capacity. With the recruitment of extra deckhands, it’s all part
of our work to get ready for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and
the London Olympics, which are set to bring even more activity
to the river this year,” says Peter Steen, the PLA’s director of
marine operations.
“The Thames is heavily used by both commercial and
leisure vessels. A busy river needs somewhere to lift out
vessels for maintenance and to supply major development
schemes. Denton Wharf provides that base as well as being our
operational centre for providing navigational safety support.”
From Denton, the PLA provides a wide range of support
services, which include:
• Providing moorings for the Blackfriars station
development;
• Loading out monitoring buoys and supporting dredging
works for the London Gateway development;
• Inspecting wrecks and working with archaeologists on
the recovery of historical artefacts;
• Maintaining more than 60 aids to navigation, including
buoys and the Central London bridge lights, and inspecting/
maintaining more than 230 PLA moorings;
• Laying temporary markings for events such as the
University Boat Race.
Replacing the Thames ‘Ness’ boats
The PLA’s purpose-built salvage vessels, Hookness and
Crossness, have become a familiar sight on the Thames and
more than proved their worth over many years – but now it’s
time for their retirement.
Tenders for a replacement have been invited, and the PLA
is likely to order a maintenance/salvage vessel this year, for
delivery in 2014.
Cleaning up
Every year the PLA’s driftwood crews remove about
450-500 tonnes of rubbish from the river, using the specialist
craft Driftwood II and Driftwood III. The teams also regularly

ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE
FOREVER – in some places. But
the reality in the River Thames is
slightly different. First, there is
no such thing as a clear day; the
Thames is a muddy place where
thick sediment ensures that a diver literally cannot see
his hand in front of his face. Second, while forever may be
an exaggeration, the PLA’s hydrographic department can
see an awfully long way and in extraordinary detail, thanks
to state-of-the-art surveying equipment and a highly
experienced and skilled team.
The core responsibility of the hydrographic team is to
‘see’ what can’t be seen. They survey the full extent of the
tidal Thames under the jurisdiction of the Port of London
Authority – a 95-mile stretch of river, encompassing 400 square
miles of river and seabed. The depth of water and tidal heights
and flows must be accurately measured and predicted and
this information clearly presented, both electronically and on
traditional paper, to ensure that the Thames is a safe waterway
for all its users, both commercial and leisure.
The whole river is surveyed, bank to bank, on a
rolling programme over five to 15 years, depending on the
particular area. A further 90 survey areas subject to greater
change and consequenly with higher navigational
significance are surveyed much more frequently – as often as
every four weeks in some cases.
Ask around and you’ll find that the general perception of
the river is that it forms a uniform deep V shape from one end
to the other. That would mean conveniently predictable depths
along its length. But this is a river with dramatic ups and downs
– and a dynamic environment where tidal forces and currents
can create rapid build-up of sediment, where storms can shift
sandbanks and swirl up high spots on the riverbed overnight,
and where unexpected obstacles can suddenly appear.
“Outside the Palace of Westminster, the river is only 1.5
metres deep in places at low tide. The variation between
high and low tide can be as much as eight metres, so the
differentiation is huge; it might be so high that some vessels
can’t get under bridges, or so low that they can’t safely transit
over a shallow patch in the river,” says John Dillon-Leetch, the
PLA’s deputy port hydrographer. “Our job is to give them the
facts, based on our own surveys and real-time and long-term
tidal predictions.”
The PLA’s hydrographic department is one of the best
resourced in the UK, and its skills are in demand not only
within the Thames for the PLA’s own requirements, but also
on a commercial basis; hydrographic services are provided
to a variety of customers for everything from checking the
condition of underwater structures, to assessing the impact of
tidal flows on berth depths.
“We work very closely with terminal managers to help
them ensure their berths are as they want them to be,” says
John Dillon-Leetch. “We also provide support for those
looking to develop on the river, making sure their plans are safe
and don’t have any negative effect on the river environment.”
In recent years the hydrographic team has carried
out a very high level of work for the London Gateway –
including surveying to support the removal of wrecks and
obstructions, producing new charts to represent the changes

made at the site so far and monitoring the tidal area to ensure
there are no unforeseen changes as a result of the dredging and
reclamation.
“The PLA has been alongside DP World the whole way,”
says John Dillon-Leetch. “We are also working with other
major projects, including Crossrail and the Tideway Tunnel; we
recently took over 200 individual samples of river bed along
the river from Greenwich to Putney, for the Tideway Tunnel
project.”
The team recently undertook its first ‘overseas’ job,
high-resolution engineering surveys of a new jetty in Dublin.
It has also provided services for the offshore wind farms in
the Thames area, and worked for the Environment Agency,
surveying flood barriers on the river. “It is better not to use
human intervention – i.e. divers – for such tasks if you don’t
need to, for health and safety reasons,” says John Dillon-
Leetch. “We will do the same work for the agency on the River
Colne, to avoid the need for divers to inspect the barriers.”
Hydrographic: the kit
The PLA has invested substantial sums into its
hydrographic capability over the past few years. This includes
the Galloper, a catamaran which gives surveyors access to
parts of the river too shallow for larger craft to reach. The
7.9 metre vessel works alongside the survey vessels
Verifier and Yantlet, and can be taken by road to carry
out work at other ports. The Galloper is equipped with a
high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES), which gives
the capability to undertake highly accurate surveys of the
riverbed and associated structures.
In the past year it has also been trialling the use of
survey-laser systems to survey major structures above the
water; the laser images can be merged with bathymetric
images to provide a very detailed ‘above and below water’
image of rigs and offshore structures, pipelines, bridges and
other large structures.
The hydrographic team is made up of surveyors, a tidal
manager, a Geographical Information System (GIS) manager,
an oceanographer and an administration assistant. Now it is
being boosted by the addition of a river conservancy manager,
who will analyse data and monitor changes in the river regime,
aiming to establish what effects drive these changes. “The
river conservancy manager will provide support and advice for
people who want to develop in the river, making sure that their
plans are safe and don’t have any adverse effect on the river’s
regime and environment, a responsibility that the PLA takes
very seriously,” says John Dillon-Leetch.
The images retrieved by the
hydrographic team of a downed
German warplane off Ramsgate are an
extraordinary example of what can be
achieved by skill and technology.
Experts at the Royal Air Force
Museum were amazed at the detail
provided by the multibeam echosounder,
which was working 50 feet above where
the Second World War Dornier is lying –
belly up, bomb doors still open and even
with its tyres still inflated.
The aircraft had been covered
by the seabed for nearly 70 years, but
re-emerged in 2010 as currents scoured
away the sand that was obscuring it.
The aircraft is believed to be the
only one of its kind fully intact; the RAF
museum at Hendon wants to salvage the
Dornier and use it as a central part of an
exhibition telling the story of the Battle of
Britain.
The PLA has been working closely
with the RAF, taking representatives out in
the Yantlet when the survey was carried
out and providing salvage advice. “There
was evidence that some of the artefacts
were ‘disappearing’, so it’s important to
save it,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “For us,
this has been a great way of showing off
our technology in a non-standard way!”

New tide prediction software developed exclusively for
the PLA means that the hydrographic team no longer needs to
go externally to get tide predictions for the Thames – and port
users will also be able to benefit.
“Thanks to this in-house programme, ‘Thames Tide’,
we can do our own predictions – and in 2012 we will be
launching this software on a CD that will be available to agents,
shipowners, etc., so they can run their own predictions,”
says John Dillon-Leetch. “The program will enable them to
get hourly predictions up to many years hence, supporting
navigation and forward planning.”
The hydrographic team is also responsible for monitoring
and controlling 14 tide gauges strategically located along the
Thames, work that is especially important for larger, deeper
ships relying on short tidal windows for access.
All of the information gathered by the hydrographic team
– tide tables, critical depths, hydrographic surveys – must be
published in ‘old’ and ‘new’ formats – on UK Admiralty paper,
the PLA’s own charts and maps and, increasingly important,
digitally.
The PLA has produced its own electronic navigation
charts – recognising that some ships are already paperless
on the bridge. “Some ships don’t carry any paper charts and
we need to cater for that development as well as for people
carrying PDAs and iPads,” says John Dillon-Leetch. The latest
printing technology also enables the PLA to print charts on
demand, in colour and at a scale specifically for navigation.
“The introduction of our smaller A2 size colour chart
folios covering from Teddington to the Thames Barrier has
been a really successful development and we are extending the
coverage in 2012,” he adds.
“We constantly ask ourselves: what will the chart of the
future be? We need to look at ten years in the future – for
example, pilots might be carrying PPUs. There is a great deal
of unofficial data out there and we have to make sure that the
official data is available in all the appropriate formats.”

NEW BERTHS, NEW DEPTHS,
NEW VESSELS, NEW TRADES
– as the world of shipping
continually evolves, the Port
of London Authority’s pilots must
be ready to handle it all.
On a day-to-day basis, the members of this highly skilled
team draw on their detailed knowledge of the estuary, river,
terminals, tides, depths, currents and weather as they guide
a wide variety of ships to and from their berths along the
Thames.
Recent new challenges have included:
• Working with ships bringing biomass to the newly
converted Tilbury Power Station;
• Conducting manoeuvring trials for the London Gateway
to establish exact tidal windows for the largest containerships;
• Continuing to support the London Gateway dredging
operation, particularly with the new dredger Congo River.
Meanwhile, the focus on specialist training continues;
the pilotage department has undertaken MCA approved
ECDIS training at ECDIS Ltd in Fareham, as well as improved
pilot-specific manned model courses at the Timsbury Lake
facility of Warsash Maritime Academy.
Expert pilotage is at the centre of the integrated package
of services offered by the PLA – and while it is probably the
easiest service to explain to the man or woman on the street,
the complexities of coordinating the service are perhaps less
obvious to the outsider.
In the past year, the PLA has continued its focus on
recruitment and training as it aims to maintain a pool of nearly
100 qualified pilots. Within that pool there are a number of
specialist roles including duty port controllers and 12 river
pilots who have extensive knowledge of the bridges, jetties,
piers and tidal characteristics of the upper Thames.
“We took on ten new pilots in 2011 and have budgeted
for six more in 2012, to build numbers up while covering for
retirements,” says director of marine operations Peter Steen.
The PLA’s training programme makes best use of the
ship bridge manoeuvring simulator installed at Gravesend nine
years ago and continually upgraded in the years since then. In
2011, azipod controls were added to the simulator to enable
pilots to train in handling azipod-type ships.
The simulator is also invaluable for developers, shipping
lines and pilots in ‘trying out’ proposed new or altered berths,
and carrying out trials for vessels calling in the Thames for the
first time. Vopak, for example, has been trialling the berthing of
larger vessels at its Thames facilities, using the simulator. The
new London Gateway port will be capable of accommodating
Maersk Line’s 18,000 teu Triple-E class ships, which are due
to enter service from 2013; the simulator is being used to plan
and practise for this.
“If you want to look at building a bigger jetty or bigger
ships, and perhaps want to check out swinging room, etc., all
this can be tested on the simulator,” says Peter Steen.
Masters and mates applying for a pilotage exemption
certificate have to undergo training and sit an examination to
demonstrate their skills and knowledge of the river; and those
in charge of ships longer than 160 metres also have to spend
time in the PLA’s simulator. During 2011, the ferry operator
Cobelfret sent 80 of its senior officers for simulator
training, coupled with marine resources management (MRM)
training, another successful development within the pilotage
department.
The outlook for 2012 is for another busy year with
simulator time being booked by a variety of third parties.
As well as manned model training for pilots at
Warsash, and the very successful MRM training conducted at
Gravesend, the pilotage department has also introduced
ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System)
training, and has continued trialling pilots’ portable units (PPU)
– small computers that carry electronic charts, VTS traffic
images and other safety and navigation information.
In a reflection of the wide knowledge of the PLA’s
pilotage team, one of the senior pilots has been seconded to the
harbourmaster upper’s office to assist in the run-up to 2012,
while six river pilots have also volunteered to act as event
marshals for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant.
“They are all keen to offer their services and assist the harbour
master in the safe running of the event,” says Peter Steen.
Knowledge and know-how
Expert pilotage is at the centre of the integrated package of services offered by the PLA.
The Lambeth, a revolutionary new patrol boat built for the
PLA, has been followed into service by two similar vessels,
and a fourth was delivered at the end of 2011.
The ‘bridge class’ vessels – 13.5 metres long and
4.8 metres wide, and operating at a maximum 21 knots –
double up as pilot cutters.
“This gives us the flexibility to interchange them, although
we will retain the use of our larger, heavier boat for the rougher
weather,” says Peter Steen.
The Lambeth proved a great success in early trials and
the boats that followed have been built with some further
refinements to the design, following pilots’ recommendations.
The Kew and Southwark arrived in 2011, with the fourth and
final boat, the Barnes, expected to enter operation by the
beginning of 2012.

THE PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY HAS
LONG BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF
VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES (VTS)
TECHNOLOGY AND OPERATIONS – and
some key achievements in the past year
have served to underline that position.
• A major upgrade of the PLA’s VTS system has delivered
an impressive package of improvements;
• The work was achieved with no obvious disruption
to our customers, demonstrating the success of the PLA’s
‘future-proofing’ strategy at the last major upgrade in 2004;
• The PLA has made significant advances in its VTS
training, delivering refresher courses for external attendees
and gearing up to offer external VTS operator and supervisor
professional courses in 2012;
• The focus on home-grown talent is shining through; the
new VTS manager due to take over in September 2012 has
‘risen through the ranks’.
The Port of London Authority has responsibility for
overseeing all shipping movements throughout the 400 square
miles of estuary and tidal river under its jurisdiction. This is the
UK’s second busiest port; every year, more than 10,000 large
ships make their way into and out of London.
Most of them are working to tight schedules and
many are carrying time-critical cargoes. It goes without
saying that everyone is looking for prompt, efficient arrival and
departure; after all, time is money, and that’s even more the
case in difficult economic times.
The PLA’s VTS team plays a crucial role, coordinating
a complex mix of requirements to ensure that vessels move
efficiently but also safely to and from their destinations. It’s
best described as a kind of air traffic control on water.
During 2011, a major upgrade of the PLA’s VTS system
added even more capability, functionality and flexibility, as well
as delivering a more straightforward presentation. The upgrade
has added the ability for operators to control CCTV directly,
presenting images onscreen, and to ‘slave’ CCTV
cameras so that they track radar targets automatically. Further
refinement and development has given the VTS operators a
more user-friendly bit of kit, with a more impressive and clear
presentation.
The upgrade was carried out in partnership with
Signalis, the new French/German company that
encompasses the PLA’s long-term supplier, Sofrelog, and
another VTS supplier, Atlas; for now, the product name for the
system used by the PLA continues to be known as SYTAR.
“The system has delivered all of the capability we were
expecting and will also enable us to develop further in the
future,” says VTS manager Barry Goldman. “With Signalis
incorporating both Sofrelog and Atlas, it would be reasonable
to expect in the longer term the best of both systems will be
used to produce an even better product.”
The emphasis on flexibility and future-proofing at the
two Port Control Centres during the last VTS upgrade was
put the test – and passed with flying colours. “The future-
proofing we focused on in 2004 has certainly been very much
proven,” says Barry Goldman. “We have, with relatively minimal
disruption, got the new kit in by just replacing what was on
the desk. Relocation of workstation computers also means less
noise in the operations room itself.”
At the Woolwich (Thames Barrier) Port Control
Centre, the operations room has been redesigned, based on the
experience of a recent re-ordering of the Gravesend Port
Control Centre.
“We now have an improved layout, vastly enhanced
workstations for the operators and better provision for the
Coastguard at the Barrier, integrating them more fully into the
process. The changes have also provided a work station for
the harbour master, to be used for emergency management
in the Barrier sector. Overall, the whole layout looks and feels
much more professional and provides a much improved working
environment.”
Always at the heart of the PLA’s VTS strategy is the
need to engage with the emergency services to ensure a
coordinated response in the event of any incident. Having
made that sort of provision, the PLA will be able to capitalise
on this strength during the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and
the Olympic Games, both of which will be demanding events
in terms of coordinating vessel movements on the river.
Out in front
This is the UK’s second busiest port; every year, more than 10,000 large ships make their way into and out of London.

European and national legislation is moving rapidly
towards the electronic submission of vessel, cargo and related
information as ships make their way to ports.
The Port of London Authority took an early and important
step in this direction with the introduction of PISCES, the Port
Information System for Coordinating End-to-End Services, in
2009.
PISCES is an on-line information input system designed
to replace the myriad of different ways in which customers
have in the past put in their requests for pilotage and other
services. The variety didn’t quite stretch to carrier pigeon, but
the port team were used to receiving often hurried and unclear
messages via telex, fax, phone, email, text, creating plenty
of room for error and misunderstandings as customers often
altered arrangements several times and at short notice.
PISCES was launched with the slogan ‘One
Version of the Truth’ and its implementation has been very
successful, enabling more efficient and cost-effective
planning and coordination of services.
Agents log on to the PLA website, view current data,
enter vessel details, pilot requirements, hazardous goods data
and other information, and then submit a request.
By the end of 2011, about two-thirds of all shipping
movements were being notified through PISCES. “We
continue to urge our agents and operators to transfer on to
PISCES,” says Barry Goldman.
New legislation coming into force in 2012 is expected to
act as a catalyst for this. Based on EU requirements, vessels
carrying dangerous and polluting goods will be required to
submit notification electronically, and in the Port of London
that will mean via PISCES.
“There is an increasing move within the EU for all data to
be available electronically,” says Barry Goldman. “It is quite
clear that this is just the beginning, and the aspiration is to
move more and more reporting requirements to electronic
format, to ensure better data capture. What we are looking
towards in PISCES is a ‘port single window’ that not only
meets the EU requirements but also allows us to capture
data more efficiently and to provide convenient but controlled
access to such data by the wider port community.”
A single View
The development for the commercial market of
solid state coherent radars, which offer improved radar
performance in small target detection and accuracy,
has been a major step forward for the VTS sector – this
technology promises to offer military technology at nearer
commercial prices.
One of these solid state radars was on trial at
Beckton for a short period during the past year and it
delivered a very impressive performance. The PLA will
now go ahead and install its first permanent solid state
radars – at Charlton, Cliffe and probably Northfleet.
“This will give us a first operational experience of
using them – and we do expect them to give us much
better discrimination, much improved ability to detect
smaller targets and better reliability,” says Barry Goldman.
“These radars are more expensive per individual unit but
their through-life costs are very much lower and overall we
believe this is a cost-effective choice. We will be rolling
them out across the port.”
The PLA has a network of 17 radars overseeing the
river and estuary; this includes one being installed at
Foulger’s Gat in an agreement with the developers of
the London Array offshore wind farm, to ensure safety of
navigation around the wind turbines. Another new radar
will be installed towards the Sunk as the London Array
development moves into its second phase.
The London Array developers have also part-
funded additional personnel within the PLA’s VTS team,
recognising the greater oversight required because of the
wind farm’s presence.

St George Wharf Pier, VauxhallLondon’s newest pier enabling the extension ofThames Clippers services to West London
AIS – Automatic Identification System – was already
compulsory for larger commercial shipping when the
bespoke Thames AIS was introduced for smaller craft five
years ago.
This unique system was developed in direct response
to recommendations from the Thames Safety Inquiry, and
is mandatory for all passenger boats, tugs and commercial
vessels over 50 gt throughout Central London.
The revised Thames Byelaws extend the Thames AIS
area to include the stretch of the river from Victoria Deep
Water Terminal as far as Denton. A key reason for this is to
allow for any expansion of passenger services in 2012, during
the Queen’s jubilee celebrations or the Olympic Games.
Thames AIS features a geographical display and
requires electronic reporting of passenger numbers on board.
Crucially, it enables masters and skippers to be much more
aware of other vessels in their immediate area.
It has proved to be enormously successful in terms
of safety as well as security. “And we have no intention of
making any exceptions during the Olympics Games or other
events, because it is such an enhancement to safety and
security,” says Barry Goldman. “If people want to operate
commercially on the Thames, they have to use it.”
VTS manager Barry Goldman will retire in September
2012 and his successor has already been appointed. Kevin
Gregory, who is currently deputy VTS manager, was re-
cruited from P&O Ferries in 2003 and progressed all the way
through the PLA’s training system, first qualifying as a VTS
operator, then becoming a Duty Officer before being
appointed deputy VTS manager. “This is a great example of
our focus on training and development, and on producing
home-grown talent,” says Barry Goldman.
The PLA has made some really significant
advances in VTS training in recent times. Its ability to provide
in-house refresher training, using the state-of-the-art VTS
simulator at the Gravesend Port Control Centre, had already
been recognised by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency
(MCA); now Kevin Gregory has qualified to run refresher
courses for external attendees.
“We have now run two refresher training
courses which have been widely acclaimed and during
the next year we hope to gain further accreditation so that
we can offer VTS operator and supervisor professional
courses to external people in the same way as a college,” says
Barry Goldman. “That really builds cost-effectively on the
capability of our simulator, something we are very proud
of. We can offer a course given by practitioners to
practitioners with the ability to demonstrate live VTS Centre
on hand. We have a world-standard training capability; but
we will be careful not to over-commit ourselves, as our
prime role is always to act as a VTS and not a training centre.”

THE PLA’S COMMITMENT TO THE
ENVIRONMENT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, and
it’s logical that this extends to supporting
the concept of ‘green’ energy.
However, as offshore wind farms
continue to proliferate off our coasts, there
are numerous issues to be resolved and, within its area of
jurisdiction, the PLA works with the developers on a number
of levels.
This includes:
• Ensuring the safety of navigation during the
construction phase and once the wind turbines are in place
and operational;
• Monitoring the effects of the wind turbines on shipping
and the PLA’s own operations;
• Assisting and supporting the developers in planning
their installation work.
In 2011, work began on the installation of the London
Array, the world’s largest consented wind farm. Being
developed by Dong Energy, E.ON and Masdar, the 1,000 MW
wind farm is being built in two phases – the first providing
175 turbines.
Parallel to the installation of foundations and transition
pieces, the project involves laying the export cables linking the
wind farm site to Cleve Hill, on the Swale, directly crossing the
Port of London’s main access channel.
“The cable will be buried about 2 metres below the
surface of the seabed and a second cable is to be laid later in
2012,” says the PLA’s harbourmaster (lower), Roy Stanbrook.
“When the cable layer is crossing the main channel, clearly
we need to carefully manage shipping to avoid interference or
conflict with traffic flow.”
Meanwhile, an extension to the Kentish Flats wind farm
is going ahead; geotechnical investigations have continued in
2011 with a view to starting installation in 2012.
And at the Gunfleet Sands wind farm, adjacent to
London’s shipping and leisure boating routes, two very large
demonstrator units are due to be installed.
“We issue Notices to Mariners and keep everyone
informed during construction work of this kind,” says Roy
Stanbrook. “But we are also closely involved at the planning
stages, as we want to make sure that any development does
not have any adverse effect on shipping in the future.”
However, there are still concerns about the effect of
offshore wind farms on navigation and investigations continue.
In particular, the PLA is examining the impact of the turbines
on ship’s radar. “We have carried out further trials to determine
which parts of the turbines actually produce larger reflections,”
he says.
Trials were carried out in 2011 using Trinity House’s
vessel the Patricia and the results are being analysed. As wind
farms expand and are built in close proximity to each other,
and many more are on the horizon in the UK’s Round 3, it is
important to determine what the cumulative effect could be on
ships’ radars of multiple wind farms in a relatively small area.
On the Horizon
In 2011, work began on the installation of the London Array, the world’s largest consented wind farm.

THE PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY
LICENSES OVER 600 INLAND WATERWAY
VESSELS, employing qualified marine
surveyors for this task.
Now the PLA’s remit is expanding,
after it was assessed by the Maritime and
Coastguard Agency (MCA) and awarded certifying
authority status to survey any small commercial vessels up
to 24 metres.
“From the south coast to Scotland, our surveyors can
inspect and issue a certificate for this class of vessel on behalf
of the MCA,” says Julian Parkes, the PLA’s harbour master
(safety management system). “This provides a commercial
opportunity for us to help support and fund our vessel licensing
role, a statutory function which does not cover its costs.
“Gaining this status strengthens and underpins our
standing and capability as a regulator and navigation authority
under the Port Marine Safety Code. It demonstrates to the
world our capability and the strength of our structure,
organisation and systems. Our priority, though, remains the
statutory survey work we are obliged to do under the Port of
London Act.”
The PLA is also working with the MCA on the
development of a new technical and operational standard
for freight vessels operating in inland waterways. This will be
based in part on EU technical standards and be applied locally
in the Thames but also in the future, on other UK waterways
such as the Humber. Industry is being consulted at several
stages through the development of the standard.
“We hope that this new standard will be in place by
the middle of 2012; we will apply the standard and regulate
against it here using local powers, and it will be available
for other regulators to use, in the form of a national Code of
Practice” says Julian Parkes. “This is a really positive step
forward in improving the standards and criteria to which we
license, to ensure we support safe freight operations on the
Thames. This is especially important because we expect an
increased number of vessels to be working on the river in the next
few years, as the Tideway Tunnel and Crossrail projects get
under way.”
PLA assessed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and awarded certifying authority status to survey any small commercial vessels up to 24 metres.
Vessel licensing -expanding the remit
From rowing to mooring,
from handling dangerous bulk
cargoes to running ship towage
operations, the Port of London
Authority works for safety on the
Thames through the enforcement
and regulator review of
comprehensive local rules,
regulations and Codes of
Practice.
The Port of London River
Byelaws, amended several times
since they were produced in their
current form in 1978, are now
completing a major revision which
will provide a set of revised
byelaws known as Thames
Byelaws.
The PLA has worked closely
with the Department for
Transport’s legal department in
this, and the process
involves informal and formal
consultation with port and river
users before the revised byelaws
are confirmed.
Some of the amendments
have prompted more discussion
than others – for example,
introducing a 12-knot speed limit
on the river in central London for
safety reasons.
“We have had a number
of formal objections and we are
working through these,” says
Julian Parkes. “We have
discussed the issues with those
who are concerned and explained
thoroughly the reasons for the
changes and, in some cases,
new byelaws. If need be, there
will be some further amendments
which take into account people’s
concerns.”
The aim is to have the new
Byelaws confirmed and in place
by the Olympic Games.
“Our position as ever is that
we try to facilitate the use of the
river by everyone who wants to
use it. Whether rowers, barges,
passenger vessels or Clippers,
we have to make sure any activity
allowed is done safely.”

Unit Loads
The C RO Ports London Ltd ro-ro
terminal at Purfleet, owned by the
Cobelfret Group, handles cars and
trailers in conventional ro-ro style as
well as handling containers by using two
rail-mounted gantry cranes and a fleet
of reachstackers and other ancillary port
equipment.
Annual throughput at the 90-acre site
is around 200,000 containers, 250,000
trailers and 350,000 cars.
The ferry operator runs four daily
sailings each way between Purfleet
and Zeebrugge and one daily sailing
between Purfleet and Rotterdam.
Internal changes in fleet utilisation
have enabled it to use the largest ships
ever deployed on this route. Cobelfret
is also responsible for serving Ford’s
Dagenham Jetty.
C RO Ports London is on the north side
of the Thames, close to the QEII Bridge
and the M25 motorway. Just-in-time
operations are becoming more and
more important for its customers and
the terminal focuses on providing the
best vehicle turnround times possible in
order to protect delivery schedules.
The terminal has 800 trailer bays, along
with spaces for 800 container/tank
units and 10,000 cars. There are two
working berths with one lay-by berth,
all dredged to eight metres, an in-house
engineering workshop and a transit
shed. The terminal is rail linked, with
its own sidings accommodating both
container and car traffic.
An on-site pre-delivery inspection
(PDI) and vehicle enhancement centre
provides a range of services, including
the installation of navigation systems,
security system upgrades, racking,
painting, body kits and spoilers.
Among the manufacturers using Purfleet
to transport vehicles are General Motors
(Vauxhall and Opel), BMW, Mercedes
and Mazda.
C RO Ports London Ltd
The C RO Ports Dartford Ltd terminal,
on the south side of the Thames and
just minutes from the QEII Bridge, has
been part of the Cobelfret Group since
early 2006.
The site is 45 acres and has two berths
dredged to 11 metres.

About one million diesel engines are
manufactured each year at Ford’s
Dagenham Engine Plant. The vast
majority are shipped from Ford’s
Dagenham Jetty to the company’s
vehicle assembly plants throughout
Europe.
To support power train and vehicle
manufacture, the Dagenham Jetty
handles 60,000 trailer movements
per year between the UK and
continental Europe. In addition to
freight, more than 280,000 finished Ford
and Volvo vehicles are imported, with a
further 10,000 Jaguar and Land Rover
vehicles exported to Germany, Belgium
and the Netherlands.
On behalf of Ford, Cobelfret operates
vessels on the Dagenham/Vlissingen
service, providing up to three ro-ro
sailings per day from each port. As
well as handling Ford’s own business,
the Dagenham Jetty moves significant
amounts of third party business. Trailers
are shipped for a variety of customers,
as Cobelfret and Ford look to maximise
both shipping and port operations.
In November 2011, Ford embarked on a
US$5 million jetty refurbishment which
is due for completion in June 2012.
The work has been organised to allow
services and operations to continue
uninterrupted.
Although Ford operates its own
in-house freight forwarding department,
it remains committed to seeking
additional third party freight business
and any opportunity to export finished
vehicles to the continent for other
UK-based manufacturers.

Forest Products
Kimberly-Clark
Kimberly-Clark imports wood pulp for its
own use and for third parties through the
Northfleet Terminal near Gravesend.
About 75,000 tonnes of wood pulp is
imported through the facility each year
for processing into paper products at
Kimberly-Clark’s adjacent Northfleet Mill
manufacturing plant, which produces
Andrex bathroom tissue. Another 5,000
tonnes of pulp was handled for third-
party customers and enquiries for third-
party handling are always welcomed.
The Northfleet Terminal is equipped for
speedy and efficient discharge of pulp.
A pulp barn offers 5,000 cubic metres
of undercover storage and there is
additional yard storage capacity for up
to another 5,000 tonnes.
Having successfully handled some
third party shipments of aggregates
in 2011, the terminal is now looking to
attract moderate amounts of additional
third party cargoes. The terminal also
provides short-term layby facilities for
third party vessels.
Seacon Terminals
Seacon specialises in the carriage and
handling of forest products from the
near continent, by offering customers
a “mill to delivered” service. The
company operates a fleet of four 2,000-
ton coasters, its own forest products
terminal at Tower Wharf, Northfleet, and
a dedicated haulage fleet based on site.

of the cargo throughput at Tower Wharf,
where over 20,000 square metres of
warehousing is available for these
commodities. The terminal is equipped
for handling all forest products and enjoys
excellent road links to the A2 and M25.
Seacon has specifically developed trade
with paper customers by working in
close collaboration with other covered
terminal operators on the continent.

Volumes through Seacon Terminals’
facilities total about 700,000 tonnes a
year, 400,000 tonnes of which is steel,
with the balance divided between other
metals and forest products.
The company operates its own fleet of
four 2,000 dwt ships handling cargoes
mainly from northern European ports,
with a particular emphasis on working
with other covered berth facilities for
steel and newsprint.
An all-weather covered berth at the
Seacon Terminal in Northfleet allows the
discharge of steel and paper under cover
using up to 3 x 40 tonne gantry cranes.
There is also a deepwater berth for vessels
up to 50,000 dwt, which is serviced by two
20-tonne mobile harbour cranes with direct
transfer to the main storage areas.
A total of 34,000 square metres
of warehousing is available for all
commodities, all serviced by gantry
cranes or fork/clamp trucks.
Seacon’s terminal is well located for
national distribution of all products by
road and rail, whilst its close proximity to
London’s press rooms and several major
car producers put it in prime position to
offer just-in-time call-offs at the shortest
notice.
Steel deliveries are made from both
Seacon at Northfleet and Stanton
Grove at Tilbury by Seacon Transport
Ltd, which has a modern fleet of
Scania tractors and more than 80
trailers capable of carrying all forms of
steel, newsprint geared to the specific
requirements of individual receivers, and
general cargoes.

Calor Gas Terminal
The Calor Gas Terminal on Canvey
Island handles a throughput of circa
90,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG) a year. The Canvey Terminal
plays a major role in the success of
Calor as the leading distributor of LPG.
It has a dedicated jetty, which allows for
refrigerated LPG imports from VLGCs of
up to 200 metres loa, with the product
being stored in eight separate insulated
tanks at -43 degrees centigrade.
LPG imports are distributed inland by road
tanker and via a 17-kilometre LPG pipeline
that connects the Canvey Terminal to
Calor’s Coryton Filling Plant, giving an
important environmental advantage
by reducing the number of road tanker
movements in and out of the terminal.
Some LPG is re-exported by ship via
pressurised LPG carriers to many
European countries, ranging from the
Canary Islands to Poland.
The Canvey Terminal helps to ensure
the continuity of supply to Calor’s UK
customers and its strategic location
provides Calor with access to a network
of worldwide LPG suppliers. The terminal
also plays a key role in the international
storage and supply strategies of Calor’s
parent company, SHV, which operates
LPG business throughout Europe, Asia
and South America.
Liquid Bulks
Nustar Terminals
Nustar Terminals Ltd is the UK subsidiary
of Nustar LP, which operates more than
90 bulk liquid storage terminals, 9,113
miles of pipelines and four crude oil
storage facilities, making the company
one of the largest independent terminal
operators in the world.
Nustar’s Grays terminal has two
228-metre jetties with a depth of 10.6
metres alongside at low water. The
terminal specialises in the storage
and delivery of hydrocarbons and has
storage capacity of 310,000 cubic
metres in 53 tanks ranging from 1,700 to
20,800 cubic metres.
Close access to the M25 London orbital
motorway provides customers with a
fast and efficient means of receiving
products in London, the South East and
nationwide.
Nustar has an ongoing investment
programme at the terminal in order to
maintain its excellent level of safety and
service. Fully automated bottom loading
facilities, backed up by a computerised
preloading authorisation system, are
key to the terminal’s highly efficient
distribution operation. Additional bottom
loading distillate facilities came into
operation during 2008.

Oikos Storage Limited
Oikos Storage Ltd is a bulk liquid storage
terminal strategically sited on Canvey
Island at the mouth of the Thames
estuary. At this prime location, the Oikos
Storage Terminal is unique in the UK in
having access to both the Government
Pipeline and Storage System (GPSS)
and the UK Oil Pipeline System (UKOP),
allowing aviation fuel and road fuels to
be pumped directly into both the civilian
and military systems.
A top tier COMAH site, the Oikos
terminal handles the full range of liquid
bulks, including aviation fuel, gasoline,
diesel, other petroleum products and
chemicals.
In the past two years, more than £50
million has been invested at the Oikos
site in major works that have included a
complete rebuild of the jetty, enabling it
to receive up to 60,000 tonnes vessels,
replacing the entire on-site pipeline
network, refurbishing or demolishing/
rebuilding dozens of tanks, building a
high-tech control room and refurbishing
road-loading racks. The result is a state-
of-the-art terminal considered one of the
safest and most modern in the UK and
probably Europe.
The company has now finished
phase one of the work, and is seeking
customers and projects for phase two,
which would see further reconstruction
of the 65-acre site.
Oikos is within easy reach of the M25
via the A13 and A127, and has recently
benefited from a new road built as part
of the Canvey Island regeneration. The
opening of Rosscommon Way enabled
road tankers heading to and from the
Oikos facility to bypass local homes,
thus minimising disruption to residents.
Coryton Refinery
Situated on the north bank of the river,
Coryton Refinery has been part of the
Thames landscape since 1953. On 31
May 2007, the refinery was acquired by
Petroplus AG Holdings.
Total throughput at the Coryton Refinery
is 172,000 barrels of crude per day,
with additional throughput capacity of
up to 70,000 barrels per day of other
feedstocks. Crude is shipped from all
over the world, including the North Sea,
Africa and Russia. Well over 600 ships
called in 2008.
Production is split roughly equally
between gasoline and diesel; the
majority is sold in the southern UK,
with the exception of gasoline and fuel
oil, some of which is exported to other
regions. Coryton Refinery typically sells
the majority of its output to oil majors,
resellers, industry and retail petrol
stations.
Products are distributed via the refinery’s
own on-site truck-loading rack, oil
product pipeline and marine facilities.
Coryton is investing more than £20
million in the construction of a Sulphur
Tail Gas Unit. The unit will result in a
significant reduction in SOx emissions.
The Coryton Refinery believes not
only that its activities should generate
economic benefits and opportunities
but that good corporate citizenship
and the handling of safety, health and
environmental (SHE) issues are core
responsibilities of the business.
For this reason, there are sophisticated
systems and projects onsite to
ensure that the refinery protects the
environment and works to the highest
safety standards. Coryton works with
the PLA in the provision of TOSCA (the
Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association),
which provides a rapid response in the
event of any oil spill - just one example
of the refinery’s work in environmental
protection.
The strategic relationship between the
PLA and Coryton provides first-class
management of risk. This includes
working together on real-time simulation
training for Coryton pilotage activities.
Pura Foods
Pura Foods Ltd has operated Jurgens jetty
at Purfleet since the ADM group acquired
Van den Bergh Oils in August 2003.
The jetty receives more than 300,000
tonnes of edible oils a year, including
sunflower, rapeseed, palm and coconut.
Packed and bulk oils are delivered to
a wide range of food manufacturing
factories around the UK and overseas.
The jetty’s outer berth has a minimum
depth of 8.25 metres alongside and
accommodates vessels up to 40,000
dwt.

the-minute stock management of all the
bulk tanks. Products can be received
in and dispatched out by sea or road
with operations around the clock when
required. UK-wide bulk and packed road
distribution is offered from the terminal,
which has benefited from new dock link
roads to the A13, M25 and M11.

Aggregate Industries
Aggregate Industries supplies and
manufactures quarry products and building
materials to the construction industry.
Committed to sustainable development,
the company featured in the Sunday
Times Best Green Companies list from
2008-2011. Employing close to 5,000
people in the UK, northern Europe
and the Channel Islands, Aggregate
Industries also became the first
company in its sector to achieve the
Carbon Trust Standard and the first to be
certified to BES 6001: The Framework
Standard for the Responsible Sourcing
of Construction Products.
The company is rated ‘Very Good’
across the whole of its business and
‘Excellent’ for ready-mixed concrete.
This independent certification scheme
assesses responsible sourcing policies
and practices throughout the supply
chain of construction products.
With operations in the heart of London
and the Thames Gateway areas,
Aggregate Industries is ideally placed to
serve construction projects at the heart
of the nation. It is a well-established
ready-mixed concrete supplier through
its Brentford-based business, London
Concrete. The Shard, Heathrow T5
and the Olympic Park are just some of
the recent construction projects the
company has supplied.
Aggregate Industries operates more
than 80 quarries across the UK, with
major quarrying operations in Scotland,
the East Midlands and Somerset, from
which it moves construction aggregates
to London by ship and rail. The company
operates the world’s largest self-
discharging aggregate carriers, which
carry up to 97,000 tonnes. Along the
Thames, it operates a fleet of tugs and
barges through Bennett’s Barges.
Bennett’s Barges transports hundreds
of thousands of tonnes of aggregate
products from the Isle of Grain depot to
its Thames customers, saving six million
lorry miles. Looking ahead, the specialist
barge fleet will substantially exceed this
important contribution to the efforts to
reduce carbon emissions for a cleaner
environment in the capital.
Away from the rivers and canals,
aggregates are transported by rail
wherever possible into depots and
terminals, hauled by energy-efficient
locomotives.
Aggregate Industries is a member of the
Holcim Group, one of the world’s leading
suppliers of cement, aggregates, ready-
mixed concrete and asphalt.

Brett Aggregates
More than one million tonnes of sea-
dredged aggregates from specific areas
of the North Sea, the mid-Channel and
off the southern UK coast around the
Isle of Wight are landed each year at
Alpha Jetty, Brett Aggregates’ main
terminal in the Port of London.
Rail accounts for the onward transit of
more than 40% of Brett’s output from the
terminal, with several trains departing
every day. An on-site block-making
plant utilises 25% of the terminal’s
throughput to produce a number of
products for Brett Landscaping and
Building Products. Additional aggregate
is landed and stored at Brett’s Northfleet
facility before processing and onward
transit to the construction industry.
Cemex UK
CEMEX is a global building
materials solutions company with
leading market positions in aggregates,
cement and ready-mixed concrete. Its
London terminals, including a plant
at the Port of Tilbury, supply many
major construction projects in South East
England.
The company operates six wharves on
the river, as well as a joint company
operation with Hanson Aggregates,
named Purfleet Aggregates. It sup-
plies several of its concrete plants with
cement by river barges that are loaded
at Northfleet and Angerstein, reducing
lorry deliveries into central London by an
estimated 2,000 a year.
Materials are supplied by barge to
Cringle Wharf at Battersea and
Comleys Wharf at Fulham for use in the
on-site concrete plants, as well as to other
CEMEX customers along the river, while
Northfleet Wharf and the concrete plant
at Angerstein Wharf handle imports of
sea-dredged aggregates from CEMEX
UK Marine.
The CEMEX concrete products
factory at Northfleet produces paving
and concrete blocks.
CEMEX has a 1.2 million tonne
capacity cement grinding and blending
plant at the Port of Tilbury – the only
cement grinding plant in South
East England. The primary product
manufactured at the facility is
blended cement, which incorporates
by-products from other industries
to make cements for use in all types
of concrete applications, including
housing, hospitals, schools and roads.
Blended cements enable every tonne
of clinker, an intermediate cement
product, to go further, lessening the
overall impact of manufacture and
delivering a more sustainable operation.
The plant is situated directly on the
quayside, with 11 metres water depth
and the ability to handle ships up to
30,000 tonnes. It is well positioned
to take advantage of CEMEX UK’s
extensive network of London wharfs
and depots in the future, all of which are
connected by river and rail transport to
further minimise emissions and relieve
the pressure on congested roads.
The high-efficiency, low-energy
facility is CEMEX’s first vertical cement
mill and uses 20% to 40% less energy
than traditional horizontal mills.

Hanson
Hanson operates four facilities on the
Thames – a marine wharf, asphalt plant
and rail depot at Dagenham, a wharf and
ready-mixed concrete plant at Victoria
Deep Water Terminal (Greenwich), a
floating ready-mixed concrete plant at
Canary Wharf and a wharf and ready-
mixed concrete plant at Wandsworth.
Volumes of marine-dredged sand and
gravel through the Dagenham wharf held
up well during 2011 as the London
construction market remained relatively
buoyant despite the government’s
spending cuts. Major projects such as
Crossrail, Thames Gateway and The
Shard have absorbed large quantities of
construction aggregates and concrete.
The outlook looks a little less optimistic,
with construction activity in London and
the South East forecast to fall in 2012
and 2013 before picking up again the
following year.
Rail is crucial to Hanson’s
operations. Crushed rock from the
Mendips is imported into the Dagenham
terminal to feed the site’s two asphalt
plants, which make road surfacing
materials for local roads, trunk routes
and the motorway network. There is also
a ready-mixed concrete plant on the
site. Around 500,000 tonnes of marine-
dredged sand and gravel from the
eastern English Channel and the North
Sea is exported by rail to depots at
Acton, Brentford, Theale and Bow. From
there it is transferred to Hanson’s
network of ready-mixed concrete plants
located within the M25.
The non-tidal Dagenham operation,
which receives vessels 24 hours a
day, also incorporates a recycling
depot and a bagging facility supplying
bagged aggregates to the DIY and small
construction sector.
A barge-loading facility is used for
the onward transportation of sands,
gravels and limestone up the Thames
to the ready-mixed concrete plants
at Greenwich, Canary Wharf and
Wandsworth.
Industrial Chemicals
Industrial Chemicals Ltd has operated
in the Thurrock area since 1976 and
purchased its 80-acre site at the former
West Thurrock Power Station 14 years ago.
The company employs over 250 people
and handles in excess of one million
tonnes of materials per annum, with
sales of over 300,000 tonnes of finished
materials and products.
Industrial Chemicals operates 20
chemical manufacturing plants
throughout the UK and supplies
products to the detergent, paper, water
treatment and chemical industries on a
global basis.
Investments in recent years have
included the installation of a Siwertell
mobile screw unloader on the jetty for
environmentally friendly discharge of
bulk dry powder shipments. In addition,
a rail-mounted travelling quay crane was
commissioned to handle bulk, general
and container cargoes. The crane has a
lift capacity of 48 tonnes at 16 metres,
and 16 tonnes at 25 metres.
In 2011, West Thurrock Jetty saw a
slight increase in the volume of products
handled across the jetty when compared
to the previous year’s throughput,
handling 150,000 tonnes in 2010 and
155,000 tonnes in 2011. The signs are
even more promising for the jetty in 2012,
with several new commodities for in-
house processing under consideration.
Situated only two miles from Junction
30/31 of the M25 and also close to the
Dartford Crossing, with deep water and
sufficient storage land, the facility offers
an ideal location for serving end-markets
both north and south of the Thames for
interested third-party customers.
Industrial Chemicals has an on-site
approved weighbridge as well as 24/7
security operations across the whole site.

Lafarge Cement
Lafarge’s Northfleet site covers around
42 hectares or 104 acres in total,
equivalent to around 52 football pitches.
Lafarge’s masterplan for Northfleet
allows for the provision of essential
materials for the built environment and
their transport to and from the site by
river, road and rail. An onsite cement
import terminal has already been
constructed and is operational. Planning
permission was issued by Kent County
Council for a bulk aggregates import
terminal of three million tonnes per
annum throughput, capitalising on the
site’s deepwater wharfage (42 Wharf),
and the site’s proximity to London.
Lafarge Cement’s vision for the future
is gathering further momentum with a
major investment in the reconnection
of rail freight facilities to the main north
Kent line.
Lafarge expects the rail sidings to be
operational from mid-February 2012.
The first main user of the restored
line will be Crossrail, which will be
transporting excavated material from
the western tunnel bore at Royal Oak,
near Paddington, by train to Northfleet,
for onward transportation by ship for
beneficial reuse at the RSPB reserve at
Wallasea Island.
Recent investment in the site had
already reached £15 million and
completion of the rail link will see this
figure almost doubled. The linkage of the
site to the main line represents another
important step in the regeneration
and redevelopment of Northfleet
embankment.
Stema Shipping (UK) LtdStema has three operations on the
Thames handling sand, gravel and
aggregates on the Thames – at Red Lion
Wharf in Northfleet, at Victoria Deep,
Blackwall, and at the Port of Tilbury. The
company had a good year in 2011, with
volumes up as it supplied aggregates to
several major construction projects.
Red Lion Wharf, which is owned by
Stema, has a 220-metre jetty with depth
alongside of 7 metres and six acres of
open storage for imported aggregates.
About 750,000 tonnes of sand, gravel and
aggregates from Stema’s own quarries
in Norway, and sand from Denmark, are
imported through this facility. Of this,
about 150,000 tonnes goes back out
by barge, and the company is looking at
ways of increasing this.
At Tilbury, Stema operates at 1 Berth,
where it has 10.5 metres water depth
and a 2.75 acre site. At present it
handles about 300,000 tonnes at Tilbury.
Stema invested about £95 million
upgrading Jelsa Quarry to an output
of 11 million tonnes a year. Work was
completed in August 2010, and this
is now the largest coastal aggregates
quarry in the world. The company
took delivery of three new self-
discharging 32,000 dwt vessels in 2010.
A key strength for Stema is its fully
independent supply of aggregates with
an integrated supply chain from quarry
through to delivery to the end user.
Lafarge Aggregates and Concretes
Lafarge Aggegates & Concrete operates
several facilities along the Thames,
including operations at Greenhithe,
Thurrock and Belvedere, which between
them distribute almost 1 million tonnes
of aggregate throughout the area by
road and rail.
Lafarge’s wharves are a major source
of the aggregates supplied for the M25
widening.
Greenhithe processes sea-dredged
sand and gravel for use in building
projects across the region. The facility’s
£1.5 million ship-to-shore conveyor
won the Quarry Products Association’s
Safety Award for Innovation in 2005, for
a whole range of measures to minimise
operational hazards.
This includes a clever system for ensuring
that maintenance can be conducted
safely. Greenhithe and Belvedere also
have ready-mix concrete plants.
Lafarge’s distribution hub at West
Thurrock combines a deepwater wharf
with rail-loading facilities and excellent
access to the local road network. The
wharf allows ships to discharge at
all times, regardless of the tide. The
material is then processed on the site
ready for onward distribution by road,
rail or river.
Belvedere Wharf is used to bring high-
PSV stone (used in road surfacing
because of its skid-resistant properties)
into the heart of London.
Lafarge is a world leader in building
materials and prides itself on product
innovation and customer service. It
is also the only company in its sector
to appear in the global top 100 most
sustainable companies. In the UK, the
company’s Aggregates & Concrete
business has consistently been the
safest in the industry in recent years.

Tilbury Power StationTilbury Power Station went through a
complete conversion from coal burning
to biomass in 2011, and now produces
750 MW of green power, which is fed
into the National Grid system.
RWE npower invested several million
pounds in the conversion, which will
reduce carbon dioxide emissions from
the power station by 80% and also
dramatically reduce SOx and NOx
emissions.
In the first year it expects to burn 2.5
million tonnes of wood pellets and
50,000 tonnes of Tall oil, with about 80%
of shipped from North America and 20%
from Europe, all delivered on a just-in-
time basis. The conversion included the
fitting of two Vigan vacuum unloaders
which move wood pellets from the
vessel at 500 tonnes/hour.
The first power station of its size to
convert 100% to biomass, Tilbury will
go through an 8,000-hour trial, when fuel
quality and availability will be tested. If
successful, it could be relicensed in 2013.
Tarmac LimitedTarmac has three terminals on the
Thames, at Charlton and Erith.
Murphy’s Wharf in Charlton is ideally
placed to supply east and central
London, being located on the south side
of the River Thames near the Blackwall
Tunnel. It is believed to be the largest
marine aggregate terminal in Europe
in terms of output, regularly producing
in excess of 1.8 million tonnes per
year in recent years, although the
economic slowdown saw volumes
drop to 1.3 million tonnes in 2011. The
site is capable of operating 24/7 and is
complemented by an onsite concrete
plant which supplies readymix concrete
into the local market.
Nearly half of all material sold from the
facility is transported to customers by rail.
Murphy’s completed supplies to the
Olympic athletes’ village in August 2010,
having supplied over 200,000 tonnes
in 18 months. A major new project will
be supplying aggregates to the T2B
terminal at Heathrow.
Investment at Murphy’s Wharf peaked at
£1.8 million in 2011, with further capital
projects expected to reach £1.4 million
in 2012.
Riverside Wharf benefited from
£200,000 of investment in 2011, and
another £150,000 investment project
is planned for 2012. Throughput was
about 70,000 tonnes in 2011. The site
complements Mulberry Wharf asphalt
plant in Belvedere particularly, providing
flexibility for out-of-hours operations.
Pioneer Wharf, further downriver, is well
placed to support Murphy’s Wharf and
to supply Kent and south/east London
markets. It handled 230,000 tonnes in 2011.
Projects supplied with material from
Tarmac’s wharves in the recent past
have included the Channel Tunnel Rail
Link, particularly for the new terminus
at Kings Cross/St Pancras, the Emirates
Stadium for Arsenal Football Club,
Canary Wharf, the Millennium Dome,
the Crossrail development and ongoing
works at Heathrow Airport.

T & L Sugars
The T & L Sugars Thames Refinery at
Silvertown is one of the largest cane
sugar refineries in the world. The 13.6
hectare site processes 160 tonnes of
raw sugar an hour, with an annual output
of up to one million tonnes. There is bulk
storage for 65,000 tonnes, together with
2,000 tonnes of storage capacity for
palletised refined sugar for export.
The 161-metre raw sugar jetty has a
minimum depth of 10 metres at low
water and receives approximately 50
vessels each year in a range of sizes
from 4,000 to 58,000 dwt.
Raw sugar is imported by Tate & Lyle
from a variety of Africa, Caribbean and
Pacific (ACP) Least Developed Countries
(LDC) and Most Favoured Nations (MFN)
suppliers which are granted preferential
access to the European Union, together
with sugar from world market suppliers
such as Brazil.
Refined sugar is transported directly
to domestic retail and industrial buyers
from the site, either packed or as bulk
dry and liquid products, or it is exported
by ship or container worldwide. The
48-metre export jetty can handle vessels
of more than 3,000 dwt. A new crane for
this jetty has now been commissioned.
The raw sugar jetty is equipped with
two cranes, each with a capacity of 16
tonnes, installed in 2007 at a cost of
£6 million. These, together with current
stevedoring arrangements, ensure that
raw sugar discharge at the refinery is a
world-class operation.
Tate & Lyle is committed to supporting
Fairtrade, and sugar cane growers in
Belize, Guyana and Fiji are already
enjoying the benefits of the premiums
paid to them over and above the normal
prices for raw sugar they deliver to the
refinery.

Port of Tilbury
As the Port of Tilbury celebrated its 125th anniversary
in 2011, of course this multimodal, multipurpose hub had a
proud history to look back on. But the focus was also very
much on the future, as its Project NEXT first gained the
support of the local planning committee and then, in
November 2011, got the go-ahead from the Secretary of State
for Communities and Local Government.
Project NEXT is the name for the development of
30 hectares of land to the north of Tilbury’s existing port
estate; it will be a critical part of the port’s future, as it
expands to meet growing demand.

Last year, we launched the first of two brand new ferries on our Dover-Calais route. The second is expected to enter service in Q1 2012. They are to be the biggest on the Channel and have the best facilities for commercial drivers around.
Our Tilbury (London)-Zeebrugge route is ideally situated for freight too. You’ll be 13 miles from Central London or 6 miles from M25 junction 30 – ideal for Olympic projects.
Your journey just got better.
