London Gateway commissions logistics park and wins new clients

摘要

The London Gateway is less than two years old but is already making waves in the UK port sector. The early success of the UK's youngest port may well have significant implications for container terminals on the European mainland too, according to sources. DP World's deep-water container terminal on the north bank of the River Thames has already attracted eight liner services and more are considering direct calls there. However, it has still to fulfil one key aim of pulling in a carrier operating a direct service between Asia and Europe. Observers believe this is only a matter of time, and various leading carriers are in the frame.
