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...


i n t r o d u c t i o n S P O T L I G H T O N T H E T H A M E S

‘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



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



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.”

W h a t n e x t F O R T I L B U R Y ?

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.

at the Port of Tilbury in January 2010, when

it started its monthly service from Asia.

It deploys specialised tonnage - open

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

occasionally have steel to the port, but this

is very seldom. We are always looking at

other cargo opportunities which can be

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.”

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

empty nine passive driftwood collectors (PDCs) strategically

placed along the river.

Recent years have seen a major improvement in the

cleanliness of the Thames, in terms of water quality and

reduced amounts of rubbish. The PLA works with the

environmental charity Thames21, supporting its work in

foreshore clean-ups.

TOSCA

The Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association (TOSCA)

holds regular emergency exercises in order to ensure it is well

prepared to respond to any oil pollution incident.

Managed by the PLA and based at Denton Wharf, TOSCA

is on 24/7 standby, ready to respond anywhere between Tower

Bridge and Canvey Island.

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.

Steel and General

Kierbeck Thames Limited

Kierbeck Thames Limited, part of the

Al-Tuwairqi Group, is well established

as London’s primary reinforcement

supplier and is involved in many major

construction projects in both the capital

and the home counties.

Kierbeck is the largest rebar fabricator

within the M25 and has successfully

completed several large signature

contracts in London on a just-in-time

basis, which has provided significant

programme savings for its clients.

Current throughput at Kierbeck Wharf,

which is on Barking Creek, exceeds

35,000 tonnes. The facility handles

imports from Latvia, Germany, Portugal,

Spain, Turkey and Belarus via Lithuania.

The arrival of this steel volume by sea has

significantly reduced road congestion

and pollution in the capital and serves to

underpin Kierbeck’s commitment to the

environment – as demonstrated by its

environmental accreditation ISO 14001.

Kierbeck continues to regard its berthing,

unloading and onward waterway

delivery facility as an essential part of its

service offering, having particular appeal

to clients taking an increasing interest in

the whole supply chain process.

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.

loading/discharge points, which include

automated bottom-loading facilities.

An inner barge berth is available for the

loading of gas oil and vegetable oil.

The terminal has extensive facilities for

blending, dilution, filtration and heating of

products, in addition to comprehensive

facilities for the packing of drums, IBCs

and small packs. Experienced chemists

working in the modern onsite laboratory

provide testing, certification, monitoring,

sampling and blending of products.

In recent years, the site has benefited

from a series of investments, providing

an agricultural fertiliser blending facility,

radar level gauging of bulk tanks, a

pack filling line for filling drums, IBCs

and small packs, a warehouse for filled

packs, bunded vehicle-loading bays

with bottom-loading facilities and tank

management systems.

TDG has ISO 9001 / ISO 14001

accreditation and is a designated

COMAH Top Tier site. A TOPAS

management system provides up-to-

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.

Vopak

The emphasis at the fully computerised

facility is on minimising road tanker

turnaround times. An ERP computer

system provides customers with real-

time stock information via secure

Internet access. The terminal’s location

only a few minutes from Junction 30/31

of the M25 gives customers excellent

access to the UK’s national road

network.

Coryton Refinery has been part of the Thames Landscape since 1953.Situated on the North Bank of the River, the Refinery is one of the largestin Europe.

It spans 370 acres and produces, amongst others, premium qualitypetrol, diesel and jet fuel. The refinery supplies around 40 per cent of theSouth East’s demand for transportation fuels.

Coryton believes its activities should not only generate economic benefitsand opportunities but its conduct should be a source of positive influence.

That’s the reason why sophisticated systems and projects exist on siteto ensure that Coryton Refinery protects the environment and works tothe highest safety standards. Its work with the Port of London Authorityin the setting up of TOSCA (the Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association)- which provides a rapid response to an oil spill - is one example of theRefinery’s work in environmental protection.

The strategic relationship between the PLA and Petroplus at Corytonprovides first class management of risk. This includes working togetheron Real Time Simulation training for Coryton pilotage activities.

Dry Bulks

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.



94

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.



95

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.



96

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.
