Ten million boxes through London Gateway

[ September 26, 2022   //   ]

DP World London Gateway has handled its 10 millionth container since it opened nine years ago

Last year the port handled 1.8m TEU, an increase of almost 650 per cent compared with its first full year of operation in 2014. A new £350m fourth berth will further increase capacity by a third when it opens in 2024.

Ernst Schulze, UK Chief Executive of DP World, said: “Within a decade, London Gateway is likely to be handling up to 30% of the country’s containerised trade. Its port-centric logistics park will be one of the largest in Europe, employing 12,000 people and underpinned by investment in a second rail terminal and a new fourth berth.

DP World announced in July that London Gateway handled more than one million TEU in six months between January and June, a record for the port.
