London Thamesport has set aside an area of 40 acres (16 ha) for future development of container operations and the further provision of Port-centric facilities.
Adjacent to the port, a 405 acre (164 ha) brownfield site has recently received outline planning permission for development of warehousing, distribution facilities and other Port related activities. This site provides an exciting opportunity to develop purpose-built distribution facilities at one of the UK’s leading container ports.
The Thamesport Interchange is an independent investment opportunity offered by the National Grid and has recently received outline planning permission to build 5 million sq ft of logistics related facilities. A private road linking the facilities to London Thamesport is planned to further develop the number of port-centric opportunities available to Port users.
Additionally, in close proximity to the Port there are a number of other development projects proposed that will offer to third parties the opportunity to provide logistics solutions to end-users.
The nearby Kingsnorth Logistic Park site is also an independent development with recently approved planning permission, and will soon offer additional warehousing and distribution facilities.







London Thamesport Welcomes A2B Moerdijk Service

London Thamesport has welcomed news that A2B-online is to introduce a new service from Moerdijk in the Netherlands

17 January 2014

London Thamesport Welcomes A2B Moerdijk Service
London Thamesport has welcomed the announcement of a new short sea container shipping service by A2B-online, the Dutch-based transport company specialising in full load, part load and pallet consignments to and from the United Kingdom, Benelux and Germany.
The new container shipping service, which will commence on 28 January 2014, will offer three sailings a week to the Dutch port of Moerdijk. Sailings will be provided by the 340 TEU m.s.Expansa.
Commenting on the new service, Clemence Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited, owners of London Thamesport, said:
“London Thamesport offers its customers a service tailored to their specific demands. A2B-online have made clear their need for an exceptional level of service, which is what we pride ourselves on and which we are ready and able to provide.”
Gerard de Groot, A2B-online Container’s Managing Director, added:
“This is a magnificent moment for all of us. It is fantastic to see that our initial service that we started last summer has been picked up by so many customers which enables us now to start up this new route to London Thamesport.
“Naturally we have investigated various options. Besides fast turnaround times at the terminal we need an efficient and effective ships operation as well; that is why we decided for London Thamesport. It is furthermore our intention to add one additional sailing per week after three months, meaning servicing London Thamesport four times a week. That is the advantage of London Thamesport: no locks to go through, shorter crossings and quick handlings of the ship.”
A2B-online’s main shareholder, Kees Vierhouten of the Vierhouten Group, is also very pleased with the latest development of the Container Division of A2B-online. Commenting on the division, he said:
“It is a good product, the knowledge and expertise which is available is great and in conjunction with the Trailer Division we are developing a sustainable logistics company in primary transport, that is our objective.”
Look at their shipping list and reflect how lucky we are to have the massive amount of ships at Felixstowe on a daily basis.
