UAE Business: DP World moves 10 millionth unit at London Gateway – Gulf Digital News

DP World has announced that its terminal at London Gateway has handled its 10 millionth container, just nine years after the smart logistics hub on the doorstep of the UK capital opened for business.

The milestone illustrates the remarkable track record of growth at London Gateway, which last year transported 1.8 million TEU, an increase of almost 650 per cent compared with its first full year of operation in 2014. A new £350 million fourth berth will further increase capacity by a third when it opens in 2024, the company said.

Ernst Schulze, UK Chief Executive of DP World, said: “After the disruption of recent years, shipping lines and cargo owners are looking for capacity, reliability and growth opportunities. We are providing it, enabling customers to move goods smoothly and efficiently in and out of the UK and across their supply chains.”
