The 10,000 TEU ship will be the largest ever cargo vessel to enter the Thames. As a result of an unplanned delay, London Gateway port agreed to accommodate the vessel at very short notice. A spokesman for London Gateway said: “We welcome the vessel to London Gateway to allow it to undertake essential work so it can continue quickly on its way.” Opening in Q4 2013, London Gateway will be the UK’s first 21st Century major deep-sea container port and Europe’s largest logistics park. Owned and operated by DP World and situated on the north bank of the River Thames, London Gateway will provide unrivalled deep-sea shipping access to the largest consumer markets in the UK. The port’s location, with its superior operational systems and service, will ensure ships load and unload as fast as possible, making London Gateway a world class asset for the UK.
