It’s all stacking up at London Gateway

[ November 7, 2023   //   ]

DP World has received four new Konecranes automated stacking cranes (ASCs) for London Gateway.

The ASCs, an investment of £56 million, will move containers from the port yard onto trucks and will service the £350m all-electric new fourth berth – the first of its kind in the world – which will boost capacity by a third when it opens next year.

London Gateway opened in November 2013 and handled its 11 millionth TEU this year.

The port is now awaiting the arrival of 14 additional cranes to service the new berth. DP World invested £12m in eight all-electric straddle carriers for London Gateway earlier this year.
