We have a clear target for the future: for the Port of London to handle more trade than at any point in its history. The target for port trade growth is part of the Thames Vision, a shared operators’ view of how the river will develop over the next twenty years.

Last year we made a good step towards this when the tonnage of goods handled on the Thames exceeded 50 million tonnes for the first time in eight years. That we’re already seeing the growth indicates that the river’s fundamentals are strong.

The Thames is the right place to serve the UK’s biggest consumer market in London and the south east. It’s this locational advantage that is driving companies to invest, providing the facilities that sustain future growth.

At the PLA we’re doing our bit to make sure people find the Thames the best place to do business. With a strategy centred on three core themes – Protect, Improve and Promote – we’re transforming the way we work. From a red tape challenge, to investing our resources to support growth – this includes buying Peruvian Wharf which later this year will open for business for the first time in more than two decades.

This Handbook sets out all the Thames has to offer, the background to the Thames Vision and the work we’re doing to make this the safest and most efficient UK port.

We hope you enjoy the Handbook and do please get in touch if you want to find out more.

Along the River Thames, terminal and wharf operators are investing, supported by the PLA as ‘Custodians of the tidal Thames’.

Developments, drama and determination

A busy river at the heart of a vibrant world city.

London. A world-class capital that is rapidly expanding; massive regeneration and construction projects under way; culture and heritage; iconic landmarks both historic and modern; a population forecast to exceed 10 million by 2030.

And threading its way through the centre of it all? The River Thames, ‘home’ to the UK’s second largest port and playing a critical part in the everyday and not-so-everyday lives of millions.

The Port of London handles more than 50 million tonnes of cargo carried on more than 10,000 commercial ship calls every year and the Thames is the UK’s busiest inland waterway. The port

generates £6.4 billion GVA (gross value added) and total river-related employment is put at 140,000. River operators plan to invest £1 billion in their businesses over the next five years.

The PLA is responsible for navigational safety along the 95 miles of the tidal Thames, covering pilotage, Vessel Traffic Services, hydrographic surveying, dredging, river licensing, environmental services and a wide range of marine support services.In terms of sheer drama, 2016 saw...

The start of the biggest construction project in Europe – Tideway. The PLA continues to play a very substantial role in supporting, licensing and enabling the construction and sustainable progress of the ‘super-sewer’.

Construction of the biggest warehouse in the UK – the new Amazon fulfilment centre at Tilbury.

The River Thames, ‘home’ to the UK’s second largest port and playing a critical part in the everyday and not-so-everyday lives of millions.

The arrival of one of the world’s largest ships, carrying a world record load of 18,601 teu, at DP World London Gateway – the 400-metre-long UASC vessel Al Muraykh.

In terms of freight, diversity is the key. Across the 70 terminals and wharves on the Thames, the Port of London handles oil, fuel, chemicals, cars, engines, machinery, vegetable oil, sugar, wine, fresh produce, cocoa, coffee, paper and forest products, cement, steel, construction materials, grain, animal feed, clothes, consumer goods, waste and recyclables…and the list goes on.

But even against that variety there is so much more to this river (passenger services, sport, recreation, tourism, environment and heritage) and that was,

and is, the headline message of the PLA’s Thames Vision. Launched in 2016 after a consultation exercise of massive proportions, the Thames Vision has been welcomed by all stakeholders and the PLA’s role as ‘Custodians of the Tidal Thames’ is now well established.

There has also been recognition for the Thames Vision in an award. In March 2016, the project won the Sir Henry Royce Award for transportation innovation, from the Worshipful Company

of Carmen, the City livery company of the transport industry.

Completion of the Vision which set out a clear view of how river users see the Thames developing helped the PLA shape its new strategy around three broad themes...Protect, Improve and Promote.

Protect“Within ‘Protect’ is our ‘zero harm’ objective, encompassing navigational safety, health & safety, safe operations in terminals and wharves, environmental sustainability and air quality,” says Robin Mortimer, PLA chief executive.

The Port of London is the first UK port to offer a ‘Green Tariff’ for shipping, in the

form of a 5% discount on port charges for vessels with lower emissions, effective from the start of 2017. In a move widely welcomed in the shipping industry and beyond, the PLA will offer the discount to ships with an Environmental Shipping Index (ESI) score of 30 or above.

“By introducing this discount, we are recognising and supporting ship owners that are committed to improving their environmental performance,” says Robin Mortimer. “We want to encourage faster adoption of new, green technologies by giving this added incentive. At the same time, we are carrying out in-depth work to establish the relative benefits of having freight on the river rather than the road in terms of emissions, and we are looking at the provision of shoreside power and the need to service hybrid vessels.”

Investments and developmentsAlong the tidal Thames, terminal and wharf operators continue to invest in new and improved facilities and equipment.

The Port of Tilbury has acquired the former Tilbury Power Station site, perfectly placed for a very significant expansion of port operations. Meanwhile Amazon’s new 2.2 million square foot fulfilment centre is taking shape and due to open in mid-2017.

DP World London Gateway is preparing to open its third berth. Supermarket group Lidl is to open a 187,000 square foot distribution centre at the London Gateway Logistics Park in February 2017.

In April 2016, Thames Oilport handled the first of a series of diesel shipments to be stored on site for Greenergy – the first fuel to come into the terminal since the closure of the Coryton Refinery. The development of Thames Oilport is being carried out in phases, with substantial new storage capacity being added.

Oikos Storage Ltd has received planning permission for the next phase of its development, to include a new jetty capable of receiving LR2 vessels up to 120,000 dwt and 14.5 metres draft; construction is expected to start in summer 2017. The plans also include rebuilding 12 tanks with a total capacity of 80,000 cubic metres and licensed for gasoline storage.

GPS Marine has ordered eight new barges to meet the ever-increasing demands of the river, particularly in serving the Tideway project. The new vessels are due to enter service between March 2017 and April 2018. River operators Livett’s and S Walsh are also investing in new vessels.

Thames Clippers is expanding its fleet, having ordered two new 170-capacity vessels to be built at the Wight Shipyard Company on the Isle of Wight, for delivery in summer 2017. This represents a £6.3 million investment for MBNA Thames Clippers, whose present fleet carried more than four million passengers – commuters and visitors – in 2016.

Surrey-based Land and Water Services was appointed by the PLA to operate the Rainham Silt Lagoons, which offer a new disposal facility for non-hazardous material dredged from the Thames and Medway. Land & Water is working with the RSPB, Natural England and the Environment Agency to safeguard the operational function of the site, improve its condition and maintain its SSSI status.

Improve“This area encompasses our role as investor and supporter of port operations. We are also focusing on making the PLA more efficient, more customer-friendly and easier to do business with,” he says.

Without a doubt, the big event under this heading for 2016 was the PLA’s acquisition of Peruvian Wharf in Newham, after a 17-year legal and planning battle. Protected since 1997 under the Mayor of London’s ‘safeguarding’ policy, Peruvian Wharf is ideally placed to service East London’s growth.

The PLA paid more than £3 million for the facility. A new access road will be built and the construction and building materials group Brett will develop an integrated terminal on site on a long-term lease. “This is expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2017,” says Robin Mortimer. “We fought long and hard to get Peruvian Wharf back into use. It is the first time we have had a Compulsory Purchase Order to acquire a site, and we are delighted that this new facility will enable more cargo handling on the river, keeping thousands of lorries off the capital’s roads.

“And we have a strong message here... expect more of this. Another target is Orchard Wharf in Tower Hamlets. We continue to explore every avenue for bringing Orchard Wharf back into active use as a freight wharf.”

Within the new strategy, the PLA is also looking to take a more proactive role by investing in port and river infrastructure.

Promote“Our goal is to get the local authorities to buy into the Vision and to work with them,” says Robin Mortimer. “We already have a good partnership with Barking and Dagenham as they develop their plans for Barking Riverside. We are also working with others to promote tourism on the Thames.

“Sport and recreation are already significant on the river, and we are committed to encouraging, expanding and supporting activities. We have set up strategic links with Sport England and London Sport, and are working directly with many sporting bodies. We have also carried out an extensive survey about sport participation on the river to establish what is happening now and how the PLA can support more sport, recreation and leisure activities on and alongside the Thames.”

Developed by the PLA after 18 months of research and consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, this is a Vision for the development of the Thames, in all its guises, over the next two decades.

Two hundred people gathered to witness the official launch; the six goals of the Thames Vision have the potential to impact on millions.

Thames Vision Goals... The busiest ever Port of London,

handling 60-80 million tonnes of cargo a year.

More goods and materials routinely moved between wharves on the river – over four million tonnes carried by water every year, taking 400,000 lorry trips off the roads.

Double the number of people travelling by river – reaching 20 million commuter and tourist trips every year.

A riverside which is a magnet for ramblers, historians, artists and others.

Greater participation in sport and recreation on and alongside the water.

The cleanest River Thames since the Industrial Revolution, with improved habitats and awareness of heritage.

A timely Vision for the future, given the work of the Thames Estuary

Growth Commission.

In July 2016, the Thames Vision was officially launched. This represented a turning point for the Port of London Authority, London, the Thames and everyone with a link, present or future, to the river.

Thames Vision: A whole new view of a mighty river


“It is a shared vision – it is all about the stakeholders and communities along the river, both in its development and delivery.” Katherine Riggs Director of the Thames Vision project

24 Port of London Handbook

Director of the Thames Vision is Katherine Riggs, who joined the PLA in 2015 having previously worked at the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as head of strategy. She emphasises that this is a shared vision, not just a PLA project.

“The idea of the Thames Vision was very new for the PLA,” she says. “People welcomed our lead in this, as the PLA is the only body with responsibility all along the river. Now we have published the Vision, we are recognised as ‘custodians of the Thames’. However, we were very keen to take the project through in an open, consultative way. It is a shared vision – it is all about the stakeholders and communities along the river, both in its development and delivery.”

The Vision project began with a very open question to stakeholders: what would you like to see over the next 20 years?

“What was fascinating and encouraging is that people want a living, working river with a variety of uses; that message came back very strongly,” she says. “It is about heritage as it has always been a working river. Yes, people want it cleaner and greener, but they also want it working.”

What does Katherine Riggs hope to achieve for the river? “To get the Thames valued more as an asset and clearly on the map as such. For the first time ever, we are looking at the whole picture, both

risks and opportunities. To a certain extent, the river has been overlooked in the past.

“The Vision is relevant to the communities that live alongside the river; new users of the river; those who walk on the towpath; those who enjoy cultural events along the river. Whether you work or row on the river or not, you still have a stake in the future of the Thames.”

The six goals for the next two decades are ‘consciously aspirational’, she says.

“Within the goals we have 27 priority actions and they vary enormously, from sustaining private investment and delivering harbour services to very specific things we need to do to create momentum, such as reactivating wharves. It is about moving from being reactive to proactive. The Vision has set out what we want to happen – to make more use of the river.”

A key target now is to work with the Mayor of London and his team to get the Thames Vision included in the new London Plan. “We are delighted to see that the Deputy Mayor for Transport, Val Shawcross, is fully on board with the whole Vision. We are also lobbying for the River Concordat to be extended

to include a freight target as well as passengers.”

An early outcome of the Thames Vision was to organise the first Tidal Thames Environment & Heritage Conference at the Museum of London in January 2017, with topics up for discussion ranging from biodiversity and water quality to green tugs, solar panels and hybrid vessels, all designed to create the momentum for greener port activity.

The Port of London is the UK’s second biggest port. The PLA has set up a new Port of London Infrastructure Group which will meet twice a year to discuss road, rail and other infrastructure needs to influence decisions that affect the Port and its strategic direction.

Just a week after the launch of the Thames Vision, Lord Heseltine and members of the Thames Estuary 2050 Growth Commission took a fact-finding trip on the river with the PLA, from Tower Pier all the way down to the Port of Tilbury and London Gateway. The formation of the Growth Commission was announced in the March 2016 Budget; its task is to develop a vision and delivery plan for North Kent, South Essex and East London, reporting back in autumn 2017.

“Because of the Thames Vision, we were able to invite Lord Heseltine and the Commission out on the river so they could see most of the Thames port area,” says Katherine Riggs. “This helped promote the port and Thames-side industries as part of the Growth Commission.”

Passenger transport is also being actively promoted. For example, the new

pier at Battersea Power Station will open in 2017 – well before the Northern Line extension. “This means that the pier is used first, so people get into the habit of travelling by boat.”

“We’re working with TfL and operators to develop a long-term pier strategy, looking strategically at where current piers are and how they are managed. Looking too at the potential for new piers”.

Through the Thames Vision, the PLA has set up new strategic links with Sport England and London Sport, and is working directly with the Royal Yachting Association, British Rowing and British Canoeing, amongst others.

available, and how we can get more capacity on the river,” says Katherine Riggs. “We have done a baseline study of approximately 120 sports clubs on the river, to establish their membership, what they do, how they could grow and how we could help. We have had a great re-sponse and that’s important, because the PLA is about serving sports and leisure as well as commercial vessels.

Freight bywater...the message of Peruvian Wharf

The announcement that Peruvian Wharf in Newham has been acquired by the PLA and is set to return to operational use sends out a powerful message: the PLA is determined to protect and reactivate London’s ‘safeguarded’ wharves and it is prepared to fight long and hard to ensure that these wharves can play their part in getting freight off the roads and on to the water.

Peruvian Wharf is under the Mayor of London’s safeguarding policy, which currently covers 50 strategically placed wharves for cargo handling.

Towards the end of 2016, after a 17-year planning and legal battle, agreement was finally reached with the site’s owners and the PLA bought the wharf for £3 million.

“This is a safeguarded wharf with a 200 metre quay on an eight-acre site, which was acquired by a developer in 1999 and

kept vacant while the owner pursued various plans,” says Jim Trimmer, the PLA’s director of planning and environment. “It is the first wharf we have acquired in this way and the message is clear – we won’t go away. This is the end of a very long saga and now we look forward to getting tenants on to the site, and seeing the first cargo handled there.”

The PLA is to complete a new access road to the site and will then let a large part of Peruvian Wharf on a long-term lease to the construction and building materials group Brett.

Brett will develop an integrated aggregates terminal on the site and the whole operation is expected to be operational in 2018.

“We are hoping that Peruvian Wharf will make a substantial contribution to increasing waterborne freight handling in London,” says Jim Trimmer. “This will work towards our targets in the Thames Vision in reactivating safeguarded wharves and increasing intra-port trade.

After a long planning and legal saga, a safeguarded wharf will be handling cargo again this year.

“We look forward to getting tenants on to the site, and seeing the first cargo handled there.”Jim TrimmerPLA Director of Planning and Environment

Back in action after more than 20 years: barges loading at Peruvian Wharf as site clearance gets underway.

Cory Riverside Energy transports around one million tonnes of waste and aggregates on the Thames every year.

There hasn’t been any investment in the site for a long time. We are undertaking the capital works now to ensure it is ready to start operations as soon as possible.”

Peruvian Wharf is ideally positioned to support East London’s growth, and this acquisition underlines the importance of retaining strategically located sites for cargo handling.

A record of more than five million tonnes of cargo was moved on the river in 2014, at the peak of two major infra-structure schemes. Those heights will be exceeded in coming years as underlying demand grows and Tideway tunnelling gets underway. With the attractions of the Thames as a congestion-free, ‘green’ transport option for freight manifest, having enough facilities along the river for handling, loading and unloading cargo is crucial.

Peruvian Wharf is one of three vacant wharves named within the Thames Vision as facilities to be brought back into long-term use. The other two are...

Hurlingham Wharf, in Hammersmith and Fulham: this is currently being used for the Tideway project but had been left vacant by its owners for a number of years. The PLA is focusing on ways to keep this wharf viable for cargo once Tideway is completed.

Infrastructure investment Within the Thames Vision, the PLA’s duty to promote and improve cargo handling and port facilities has been reinforced. But this goes further than support and encouragement – the PLA is ready to take on a more proactive role by investing in port infrastructure and cargo handling facilities.

“We want to work with cargo handlers on the river as an infrastructure partner,” says Jim Trimmer. “We are open to ideas. We are encouraging operators to come and talk to us – they will find the PLA receptive, willing and very proactive.

“We are talking to a number of operators which want to invest in infrastructure and want to get the message out there that we are keen to discuss opportunities and invest to support and improve business in the port.”

Orchard Wharf in Tower Hamlets: Despite a disappointing ruling in the Court of Appeal, the PLA was encouraged that the CPO case it put forward was essentially considered solid and sound. “We remain committed to bringing Orchard Wharf back into active use as a freight wharf,” says Jim Trimmer.

TidewayThe Thames Tideway Tunnel, the new 25-kilometre-long ‘super sewer’ being excavated through the centre of London, is having a massive impact on the River Thames – in more ways than one.

First, Tideway is being built to capture flows from 34 Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), to dramatically reduce the amount of untreated sewage that can overflow into the tidal Thames.

Second, this is the biggest waste water project ever undertaken in the UK – and its success is entirely dependent on an unprecedented use of the river for moving cargo.

Tideway is committed in its Develop-ment Consent Order (DCO) to moving 90% of the materials involved in the project by river. As a result, millions of tonnes of excavated spoil heading out of the capital, massive pieces of construction equipment, cranes, tunnel boring machines, tunnel segments and construction materials will be transported to the three main drive sites and other riverside sites by water.www.cmp.uk.com February 2014

A record of more than five million tonnes of cargo was moved on the river in 2014…those heights will be exceeded in coming years.

In early 2017, construction work started and the first “specified materials” started to come upriver. Aggregates loaded at Murphy’s Wharf, Greenwich, were brought to Chambers Wharf for cofferdam infilling. In connection with this, the PLA gave consent for a temporary barge outloader at Murphy’s. Office accommodation cabins were delivered by barge. Steel work arrived by barge, and some spoil from Chamber’s Wharf had already headed out by the end of the year.

“Due to our work with Tideway, the total tonnage to be carried by water over the

length of the project will exceed six million tonnes, which is a significant increase on the figure committed in the DCO of 4.3 million,” says Jim Trimmer. “For example, all of the tunnel lining segments for the three main drive sites will now come in by water, whereas the DCO was based on them coming by road.”

Tideway and the PLA have both made clear their hopes for a ‘legacy’ from the project – in the form of increased use of the river for cargo.

“To the west of London, a number of safeguarded wharves are being used as part of the construction project,” says Jim Trimmer. “But we are looking beyond Tideway to see how these can be reactivated in the long term and how

we can take advantage of Tideway to create sustainable waterborne transport solutions. We already know that water can move bulks, including taking waste out from west London. The next stage could be an inland container terminal.”

The advantages of using water over road are well documented. Every barge carrying 1,000 tonnes of material takes the equivalent of 50 lorries off the roads. Few would argue that water is not there-fore a better option. However, the PLA has now embarked on an exercise to demonstrate just how much better that option is. “We are going to put together

in Europe – and its success is entirely

dependent on an unprecedented use of the River Thames

for moving cargo

some specific case studies – we want to know exactly how much better,” says Jim Trimmer. “As part of the wider air strategy we are developing with the GLA, TfL and other partners, we will use these case studies to demonstrate what the river contributes in terms of air quality, when used for transport, to better understand what the river does and how it can be improved.”

Tideway is on its wayThe Tideway project, and the use of the river to support it, started in earnest in 2016. Towards the end of the year, the first piece of infrastructure was complete – a new pier at Blackfriars. The old pier will now be decommissioned to make way for Tideway’s main Blackfriars site, where work will start early in 2017.

“The construction of the new Millennium Pier at Blackfriars has been very successful and represents a huge collaboration between the stakeholders...the PLA, Transport for London, the City of London and ourselves,” says Roger Bailey, Tideway’s asset management director. “The new pier is much larger than the old one, so two big Clippers can berth at the same time. It’s certainly an improved piece of infrastructure.”

This is a project of staggering proportions; the internal diameter of the tunnel is between 6.5 and 7.2 metres, and its depth will be between 35 metres in west London and 65 metres in east London.

Tideway is committed to maximising its use of the Thames during the excavation and construction stages.

“We have been working very closely with the PLA in a couple of areas,” says Roger Bailey. “First, in terms of the marine/navigation side, and increasing the amount of materials that are moved on the river, we have moved forward considerably. We have brought the office cabins in for Chambers Wharf by river and we will be bringing all our tunnel boring machines in by river over 2017-18. That is going to be a dramatic sight.”

Tideway has also been working closely with the PLA’s Jim Trimmer regarding the use of Deptford Creek to serve the project’s site at Greenwich pumping station.

“We didn’t commit in the Development Consent Order (DCO) to use the river there because the creek is so narrow and constrained by tides,” says Roger Bailey. “However, there was a DCO obligation to review this. We are looking very closely at how we can utilise Deptford Creek as a further extension of our use of water.”

Tideway started work at several locations on the river during 2016, the most major being Chambers Wharf, one of the eastern drive sites, in Bermond-sey. A temporary structure being built 40 metres out into the water will provide a huge working platform for the project and will also be used for taking material to and from the site by water. “In the river, there

is a huge amount of engagement with the PLA, the Marine Management Organisa-tion, Environment Agency and others,” says Roger Bailey. “This has gone very well. Elsewhere, we have started work for a very large shaft, 30 metres diameter, 50 metres deep, at our main central drive site at Kirtling Street; we have started work at Fulham, near Hurlingham Wharf, strength-ening the river wall and doing enabling works; and at Victoria we are in the process of building a new mooring point for the Tattershall Castle restaurant boat so that we can start work there.”

Tideway has also worked with HR Wallingford to further develop its tug and barge simulator. Boatmasters working on the Tideway project must go through a validation/assessment process which requires them to spend three or four days at HR Wallingford demonstrating their skills and aptitude. “We require anyone who is a boatmaster on our project to go through that validation. Now we are also looking to create a Thames familiarisation course

for non-Tideway captains, so they can experience the river and what it will look like during the project.

“We hope as the project ramps up and the Thames Skills Academy gets stronger, then the Academy will take over that course and use it as a future ‘validation of quality’ process for everyone on the river who is part of the TSA. Through this focus on training, Tideway will have left a massive legacy for the river and we are really grateful for all the support of the PLA in this challenging project.”

Tideway is committed to diversity and setting a new benchmark for women in construction.

The PLA and Thames Skills Academy team at Skills London, the capital’s biggest jobs and careers event for young people.

Training and development

on the UK’s busiest

waterway Employers are committed to a more structured, collective and cohesive approach to marine training on the Thames.

How best to sum up the Thames Skills Academy? “It is by employers, for employers, really identifying employers’ training needs in the marine sector in the port and delivering that training for them,” says Julian Parkes. “The Thames Skills Academy is focusing on what employers on the river actually need, not what any-one else thinks they need.”

The PLA is a founder member and an employer member of this exciting new venture and Julian Parkes, formerly the PLA’s deputy chief harbour master, is now chief executive of the Thames Skills Academy (TSA).

The TSA has been set up to address training and upskilling for those operating tugs, barges and other vessels on the Thames. In many ways it has been born out of the Tideway project and consequent demand for more skills on what is already the UK’s busiest water-way. The TSA will also contribute to the legacy of the Tideway project far beyond the completion of the ‘supersewer’.

“We need to raise standards on the river and there needs to be a more planned approach to training if the river and port is to meet the future challenges it is facing,” says Julian Parkes. “This

links to the Thames Vision. We are seeing some major infrastructure projects, port development, more passengers and more cargo. If we are to meet these challenges, we need a larger, flexible marine work-force with the right skills.

“Operators who have already signed up to the TSA have done so because they want the river and port to benefit and recognise the need to move up a gear.”

The TSA was officially launched during 2016. It will act as a focus for a more structured, collective and cohesive approach to marine training and develop-ment on the Thames; through economies of scale and excellent training providers, it will facilitate and broker high-quality, flexible and cost effective training.

“It is about engaging with employers and convincing them of the benefits of using economies of scale and training systems and training providers. Whether operators are moving passengers, freight or household rubbish, they all need crews with core skills. But it goes further. On passenger boats, you need people skills, health & safety training, crew manage-ment, crisis management training, for example, things that the boatmasters licence doesn’t cater for.”

The TSA has already developed proposals with the Maritime Skills Alliance to enhance the competency framework for the UK’s inland waterways, and the new framework would also provide

transferability between inland waterway and seagoing vessel qualifications.

“The TSA is about supporting employers and improving engagement with young people, because we need to find new trainees,” says Julian Parkes. “For example, we are working with the Sea Cadets and London Nautical School in this respect.”

The TSA will start providing training in its own right, probably within a year or two. At present, it is building up its membership and developing a list of preferred training providers. “We want to make sure the training providers we use on behalf of our members are providing good training at reasonable cost, using good quality facilities – we will vet them.

“Our group training officer will be engaging with employers, getting to know their business and undertaking training needs analysis and sourcing that training through our preferred providers. Rather than providing ‘standard’ training courses which partly meet employers’ needs with no choice, we want employers to work together and refine their requirements, so that courses can be adjusted to their particular needs and delivered successfully.”

The TSA is chaired by former PLA chief executive Richard Everitt. At the launch, of

the TSA last year, he said: “Well-trained, skilled people are vital to making the most of the new opportunities highlighted in the Thames Vision. A busier river offers both the opportunity of new jobs and also the challenge of more complex navigation. That’s why safety will be a priority for the trainees accessing courses through the TSA.”

Julian Parkes and his team moved into offices in Dartford toward the end of 2016. At that point, the TSA had 12 employer members, as well as founding and affiliate members, with more due to sign up.

“We estimate that our members employ about 70% of people afloat on the Thames,” he says. “As we deliver and they see the benefits of working collabora-tively and cooperatively to deliver training, we expect this number to grow.”

Hosting the naming of the cruise ship Viking Sea; coordinating filming for Absolutely Fabulous; overseeing the University Boat Race; encouraging safe recreation on the river; preparing for the Tall Ships in 2017.

There are probably two words that sum up the PLA’s activities in the ‘middle’ district of the tidal Thames – variety and flexibility. And as all indications point to an increasingly busy river in the coming years, the PLA must continue to focus on safety, while balancing the needs of every-one with a connection to the Thames.

“What came out in the Thames Vision was effectively more of everything – more passengers, more freight, more recreation, more houseboats,” says Mark Towens, harbour master (upper).

“We must balance all of this extra activity with the river as a finite resource. The big challenge is, how do we manage navigational safety with all of the extra business coming in? We are doing this in several ways.”

PassengersThe PLA, in conjunction with London River Services (part of Transport for London), is undertaking a review of passenger services and timetables. Just as traffic light phasing and other controls keep vehicles moving on dry land, the aim of this review is to optimise traffic flow on the river.

“How do the boats move and when? What are the timetables like? For example, we discovered that there were

four boats leaving Westminster Pier at 11am. That affects congestion and could impact on navigational safety,” says Mark Towens. “This work is being done as part of the central London capacity study. We have also finalised and implemented changes to the way in which RIB operators work in London, including introducing ‘no manoeuvre’ zones, to ensure safety and reduce the extra amounts of wash created by RIBs manoeuvring.”

FreightThe PLA has introduced new regulations that allow ‘pushing’ of barges in central London, where historically barges have been towed (pulled) by tugs. “The practice of pushing barges ahead is widely used across continental Europe and it is what a lot of operators want to move towards,” says Mark Towens. “So we have updated our regulations, which were initially put in place when towing was the usual practice.”

Pushing barges is safer and more fuel efficient, he explains. “There is fuel efficiency when pushing because the wash goes behind the tug; and it is safer because you have more control and can stop more quickly.

“Projects like Tideway and theNorthern Line extension are givingoperators the confidence to invest in newequipment because of the amount ofwork in London. This is an opportunity forthem to modernise their fleets, and we have supported operators in this by changing our regulations to allow for changes in technology and new ideas in towing.”

More passengers, more freight, more recreation, more houseboats. The Thames is set for even busier times ahead.

Making headlinesThe River Thames and its iconic land-marks are often in demand by filmmakers, and the PLA regularly provides coordina-tion, advice, practical support and safety back-up for this sector. Recent films have included Absolutely Fabulous and the latest Transformers movie.

“This is something we are very positive about – it gets London on the map, promotes the river and encourages tourism and passengers,” says Mark Towens. “We provide moorings and support services to assist river operators who promote the Thames as a film set”

The middle district is also frequently used for stunts and promotional events, and the PLA and other operators on the river will support and advise on these and provide a range of services.

“This is our customer-facing side; what can we do to support that sort of growth? While still focussing on safety, we act as a facilitator to identify how we can make this work? It is about trying to find a way to make something happen, giving ideas and connecting people.”

There are probably two words that sum up the PLA’s activities in the ‘middle’ district of the tidal Thames...variety and flexibility.

Alongside travel and trade, the river in London is host to ceremonial events including river pageants.

RecreationThe PLA has produced a new recreational users’ guide, to help leisure users get the most out of the tidal Thames.

The river attracts thousands of recreational users, from stand-up paddle-boarders to canoeists, rowers and motor boaters. The updated guide provides practical tips for safe navigation, and also includes points of interest, details of visitor moorings, important phone numbers and useful web links, clear maps and ebb tide flag warning advice.

The Rowing Code of Practice has also been completely revamped and is available online as an interactive PDF, and the PLA has also just completed a new Paddling Code of Practice.

Ship-spottingIn May 2016, central London hosted the official naming ceremony of the 228- metre-long cruise ship, Viking Sea, on her maiden voyage. The PLA’s moorings at Greenwich were again specially lengthened to accommodate the cruise ship; her sister ship Viking Star had called the previous year, setting a port cruise ship record.

“We were very proud that they chose London to name the ship. It was a great event and we actively participated,” says Mark Towens.

Easter 2017 will bring a whole clutch of high-profile visitors, as the Tall Ships’ Transatlantic Race starts on the Thames.

About 40 tall ships, including some of the larger vessels, are expected. Planning and preparation is well under way for the event, which will feature a ‘Parade of Sail’.

Saving livesSuicide is the main cause of people drowning in the River Thames; and these sad stories make up nearly one-third of all suicides in London. The PLA and other organisations are working together to try to reduce these tragedies.

In 2015, the RNLI decided to undertake a review of its operations after 15 years on the river. The RNLI Thames Review project team also includes representatives from the PLA, HM Coastguard and Fire, Police and Ambulance services.

The teams are putting together a community water safety assessment for the tidal Thames, in order to establish a framework and recommendations for a community lifesaving plan. The focus is on landside prevention (such as fencing where appropriate) and education as

much as it is about actually rescuing people from the water.

“It is about encouraging voluntary organisations/patrols to cover bridges and developing suicide prevention training for first responders, and we are also looking at a public safety awareness campaign,” says Mark Towens. “It’s really a package of things to prevent suicides. The Thames Review is a really good example of partnership working. While it is being driven by the RNLI, there is input from so many authorities and bodies.”

The review will also encompass event safety.

‘Authority’ – it’s a word that might not always conjure up the positive, and a word that can seem downright intimidating. Yes, the PLA is a statutory authority, with responsibility for 95 miles of the tidal Thames. The PLA has a duty to ensure safe and efficient navigation and consider the needs of all stakeholders, and that necessarily means there must be rules and regulations.

However, the PLA is constantly pushing forward with initiatives to improve its

services, putting the customer centre stage whenever possible and delivering quality and cost-effective solutions across all of its activities.

Much of what is happening now and over the coming years will reflect the new strategic emphasis on ‘Zero Harm’ and that, from chief harbour master Bob Baker’s point of view, is the key target in the PLA’s navigation services.

“It is good to have a challenging target that stretches you and makes you challenge everything,” he says. “The PLA

The PLA’s task is to ensure absolute safety, while also delivering a quality, cost-effective service to all stakeholders.

A challenge to ‘authority’


has great systems in place and a lot of experience and expertise. It is about taking us to the next level.

“We are asking the questions: is there a way we can do things better, safer, more efficiently? We are encouraging our people to challenge established norms and ask the question – why do we do it that way? It is no good saying ‘it is the way we always do it’. Is there a more effective way? There is always room for improvement and we keep striving to be better.”

There is an added emphasis now, says Bob Baker, on being customer-focused. “It is good that we are providing a safe service, but we are aiming to put a more ‘business’ look on things i.e., a quality service for the customer and providing what the customer wants.”

Being chief harbour master could be easy, he points out by just saying ‘no’ to everything. “The trick is to find a way to say ‘yes’. It is a balance between ensuring

absolute safety and also delivering a quality service at the right price.”

But let’s go back to those rules and regulations. Most of these are aimed at ensuring navigational safety and all of them are now under the microscope as part of the PLA’s safety initiatives and the drive towards ‘Zero Harm’.

“Our regulations, rules, procedures and guidelines are, in some cases, extremely complicated and sometimes disjointed,” says Bob Baker. “Some of our own staff struggle to find their way through them, which suggests that port users, and visitors to the port in particular, will have difficulty understanding and consequently conforming to our regulations.”

Stand by for the Red Tape Challenge. “In 2017, we will embark on the Red Tape Challenge to review all these procedures and work to put them in a standard format, consolidate them and remove any that are no longer required,” says Bob Baker.

This is not to say that PLA codes of practice, byelaws and regulations have stood still over the years – there has always been a programme of regular

review. The Red Tape Challenge will take a more ‘joined-up’ approach.During 2016...

The PLA’s navigational safety byelaws were updated and republished.

The pilotage directions went through a review. A number of changes were made, including bringing some intra-port barge traffic under these directions. Following a period of consultation, the final directions will be ready in early 2017.

A new byelaw to prevent sewage discharge into the Thames was introduced.

It is always important to emphasise just how critical a strong Port of London is to the day-to-day lives and welfare of millions of people, handling everything from food and fuel to paper and construction materials. Bearing that in mind, it’s vital that the PLA has clear emergency plans and a strong contingency plan in place, should the need arise.

During 2016, a specialist consultant reviewed the PLA’s emergency plans, procedures and command structure, bringing the entire ‘package’ up to date. This included a focus on cybersecurity as well as on physical response plans.

This has led to the writing of a new emergency plan. “The final part of this work is to organise tactical emergency training,” says harbour master (lower district) Cathryn Spain. “We will be developing much more in-depth training and emergency response exercises as a result.”

While ‘Zero Harm’ is something the PLA is striving for under the ‘Protect’ theme of the new strategy, Cathryn says. “We are also focusing on the other two strategic strands ‘Improve’ and ‘Promote’.

“Under ‘Improve’, we are working to improve our relationships with customers in terms of licensing,” she explains. “We now have annual meetings with every terminal on the river, maintaining good contacts, so when they do need to come to us, they know who to speak to and know them. It’s a case of working together to improve things – and that’s also important in case of a crisis or incident.

“Under ‘Promote’, we are actively monitoring the use of visitor moorings in the river, to establish whether we need more and, if so, where they should be and what facilities might be required. We also continue to actively promote the river for cruise ships, for example.”


Regular harbour launch patrols are an important part of the PLA’s safety regime.

A full tug simulator is the latest addition to the PLA’s simulator capability.

Pilotage...all weathers, all tides, all hoursGuiding some of the world’s largest, most unusual or most challenging ships to and from their berths in the Port of London in all weathers and tide, day or night, demands experience, skill, training and coordination. It also depends on an unparalleled knowledge of the River Thames and all its quirks – depths, tidal currents, jetties, piers and bridges, from the outer estuary all the way up to the centre of London.

So, let’s hear it for the PLA’s remarkable team of pilots. These are the specialists. These are the people who head out to the open sea, climb out of a launch and up a rope ladder to board massive ships, and then bring them safely to port.

The PLA has a pool of 85 fully qualified pilots, all of whom hold an STCW Class 1 Master’s Certificate. The number is climbing with more pilots being recruited as the number of ships requiring their services increases. Recent months have

seen an unexpected increase in traffic on the Thames, while the relative proportion of masters holding Pilotage Exemption Certificates (PEC) on the river has fallen.

During 2016, the PLA recruited 12 new pilots; during 2017, the plan is to take on another 12. However, safety and efficiency means it can never be a quick fix. “Our new pilots will all be experienced senior officers,” says Bob Baker. “How-ever, they start as trainee pilots and work their way up through the classes. It isn’t a quick process to get them up to the top, they must be trained properly for safety.”

Challenges in the past year have included handling UASC’s Al Muraykh, one of the world’s largest container ships; the 400-metre-long vessel called at DP London Gateway early in 2016, carrying 18,601 teu, the most ever shipping containers on board a vessel.

A few months later, the PLA’s pilots safely brought in two ships carrying the world’s largest ship-to-shore cranes, fully assembled, from China to London Gateway.

Intensive training underpins the pilotage service, and the PLA’s highly advanced

ship’s bridge manoeuvring simulator at Gravesend is a vital part of that, not only for actual training but also for planning and preparing for handling the world’s most challenging ships in all kinds of conditions.

During 2016, the PLA invested £250,000 upgrading the simulator, adding a full tug bridge simulator. The upgrade has integrated the latest hydrographic modelling, allowing trainees to learn the characteristics of the Thames from the North Sea right through to central London.

The PLA’s simulator includes full engine controls, bow and stern thrusters, radar, ECDIS, speed logs, a portable pilotage unit, and Azimuth control device propulsion and steering. Over 70 ship types can be simulated, and the variable

parameters include flood and ebb tide, wind speed and direction, fog, rain and snow. This gives pilots the chance to experience all kinds of ships – tankers, container ships, cruise ships and car carriers, before they go on board and take control in reality.

The addition of the interactive tug simulator has taken that experience and training possibilities to a new level. This can simulate five kinds of tug, provide the range of tide, wind and weather, and also offer a view over the tug’s bow or stern.

As well as in-house training, the simulator is in demand from customers. Many organisations use the facility for research and development; they can check out new berth plans or see how new ships will handle on the Thames, sometimes before those ships have even left the yard. This enables customers to adjust their plans if necessary and

VTS...the facts Each VTS Centre is led by a

VTS supervisor with the delegated powers of the Harbour Master, supported by a team of VTS officers and shipping coordinators.

All VTS personnel are fully trained to the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) and Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) standards using the PLA’s in-house MCA-accredited training programmes.

VTS is constantly developing, particularly as part of the ‘e-navigation’ agenda and ‘Single Window’ electronic reporting, designed to streamline information flows internationally and reduce paperwork for vessels.

The VTS will play a vital role as the River Thames handles unprecedented growth in traffic from Tideway-related vessels and shipments heading upriver to the substantial growth in passenger numbers on the river, a key target of the Mayor of London.

During 2016, the VTS voice communication system – combining telephone, VHF and command and control – was replaced.

There is an ongoing programme to switch the entire network of 17 radars across to solid state coherent radars.

The PLA is recognised as a leader and pioneer in the world of Vessel Traffic Services and associated training.

Almost a decade ago, the PLA invested in a sophisticated VTS simulator, which is regularly updated and expanded; this plays a vital role in training and also in preparing and planning for unusual ship calls. It is also in demand for providing training to outside customers – the PLA offers a range of courses.

reduce the risk of any unexpected issues when the ship actually arrives.

The simulator is also used for training pilotage exemption certificate holders and applicants, and for specialist training for ships’ officers, tug masters and even pilots from other port authorities.

Vessel Traffic Services (VTS)... multi-dimensional expertiseMore than 10,000 large vessels make their way into and out of the Port of London every year – including cruise ships, container ships, roll-on/roll-off ferries, tankers, bulkers and general cargo ships. All of this traffic must be coordinated and controlled, to ensure navigational safety and efficiency as well as care of the environment.

How does it work? This is the task of the PLA’s Vessel Traffic Service (VTS), which manages and oversees safety of navigation in one of the largest and most diverse VTS areas in the UK. Covering more than 600 square miles of waterway spanning 95 miles from Teddington to the North Sea, they provide the equivalent of air traffic control for the port – with a few added challenges thrown in.

First of all, we are not talking about the equivalent of a fixed ‘runway’. Water moves! This is a landing strip that is constantly changing, due to currents, tides and weather. Vessels are coming and going from 70 different terminals and wharfs along the river. The VTS team must work within complex parameters, including berth availability, pilotage and

towage. This demands coordination and communication with all operators and an ability to see the ‘picture’ in several dimensions.

The PLA has a statutory duty to provide Vessel Traffic Services and this service, like pilotage, is within the responsibilities of the Chief Harbour Master.

The PLA has two VTS Centres – the Port Control Centre in Gravesend and the Thames Barrier Navigation Centre in Woolwich. From here, the PLA’s VTS area is closely watched and controlled around the clock, every day of the year.

Following a reorganisation, the PLA’s Safety Management System (SMS) is now a component part of the VTS department.

Chief Harbour Master Bob Baker says: “From a safety operation point of view, it makes sense that we have pilotage, VTS and SMS together and talking in the same department about the main issue – which is getting vessels in and out of the river safely and efficiently. There is constant communication between the pilots and VTS.

Simon Phillips has been appointed harbour master (VTS & SMS). “He is responsible for our SMS, which is the bedrock and foundation of our compli-ance with the Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC), which sets out national standards for every aspect of port marine safety,” says Bob Baker.

All UK harbour authorities with statutory powers and duties are required to comply with the PMSC, which covers all marine facilities, berths and terminals.

Let us set the scene: the Port of Tilbury is already recognised as a leading distribution hub for both London and the South East. It already holds the number one position on some very key commodities, including grain, foodstuffs, construction materials, paper, forest products and waste/recyclables.

Describing Tilbury simply as ‘a port’ really doesn’t do justice to this dynamic and diverse operation. To borrow a well-known phrase, ‘this is no ordinary port’, Tilbury is a multi-functional, intermodal distribution hub. It is continuing to expand successfully through a programme of significant investment under Forth Ports’ ownership. And the future looks even more exciting, with a number of major new developments.

“London is spreading eastwards and the Port of Tilbury will have a massive role to play in this, as a shortsea intermodal hub and a construction materials hub,” says Charles Hammond, chief executive of Forth Ports. “The Port of Tilbury is at the heart of Thurrock’s regeneration. We are committed to that regeneration, and to supporting expansion and jobs in Thurrock, to the benefit of the local community.”

The Port of Tilbury is the largest and most multi-talented port on the River

Thames. To put things in perspective, the port commissioned an economic impact assessment in 2016, to establish its impact on, and contribution to, the economy at both local and national levels.

Consultants Arup concluded that the Port of Tilbury...

Supports 8,350 jobs, including 810 direct Port of Tilbury jobs;

Contributes £390 million of GVA (gross value added);

Handles cargo worth £8.7 billion a year.But the study went further, to consider the Port of Tilbury’s wider social and economic impacts for the local area. Those impacts include:

Supporting education opportunities through trustee status, internships, work experience and placements, careers advice and engaging with schools and universities;

Skills and training, through its Logistics Academy, the port provides apprenticeships, traineeships and pre-employment training;

Community support, through business groups, supporting schools and clubs, sponsoring local sports teams, and providing space for use by small companies and local community groups.

In its research, Arup identified that many Tilbury port-related businesses have plans to expand in the short to medium-term, with 88% of Tilbury’s tenants and 65% of its customers saying their plans would require additional capacity at the port.

The Port of Tilbury continues to expand its role as an intermodal hub supporting London and the South East.

The number one UK port for many trades.

Expansion is on the agendaThe port already has 56 operational berths, 31 independent operating terminals and a total 10.2 km of quayside, including deepwater berths outside the locks.

Now it is looking next door. A year ago, Forth Ports acquired a large part of the former Tilbury Power Station site. That has provided an additional 152 acres, along with the site’s deepwater jetties. It’s known as Tilbury 2, but could be renamed as plans develop. The acquisition brings the port’s total footprint to 1,100 acres.

“Tilbury 2 is progressing – we will be applying for planning permission in 2017,” says Peter Ward, Port of Tilbury commercial director. “We are progressing on a number of commercial discussions, including expansion for existing custom-ers and other growth opportunities.”

Meanwhile, an extraordinary develop-ment has been taking shape on the port’s London Distribution Park – construction of the largest warehouse ever to be built in the UK. Amazon’s new 2.2 million square foot fulfilment centre, due to open in mid-2017, fills up LDP, along with the existing Travis Perkins’ facility and haulage operations.

This is a vast building, of four floors on a footprint of 550,000 square feet, and Amazon has said it will create more than 1,500 new jobs at the centre.

Charles Hammond says: “Amazon’s decision to base its fulfilment centre at Tilbury is fantastic news for the port and for the Thurrock area. By basing itself at London’s major port, Amazon will save time and money and capitalise on our prime south-east location and excellent, well-established logistical connections to the UK market.”

Peter Ward says: “There will be a fair percentage of goods coming in over our quays for the Amazon centre, underlining the Port of Tilbury’s unrivalled advantages as a distribution hub and port-centric solution.”

Tilbury’s strength has long been in its diversity. The port encompasses one of the UK’s leading container terminals – London Container Terminal, which handles both deepsea and shortsea services. But its expertise stretches way beyond containers to include shortsea and deepsea ro-ro freight services provided by P&O and Grimaldi; new vehicles handled at Hyundai’s import centre with purpose-built in-river berth; paper and forest products; fresh produce, cocoa and coffee; beer and wine; grain, animal feeds and other bulk cargoes;

An extraordinary development has been taking shape on the port’s London Distribution Park (LDP) – construction of the largest warehouse ever to be built in the UK

construction materials; and a vast range of recyclables such as scrap, glass, ash, tunnelling spoil and household rubbish.

Working in partnership with S Walsh, the Port of Tilbury has pioneered the London Construction Link (LCL), combining consolidation and waterborne transport on the Thames to support ongoing and planned major infrastructure projects in the capital. LCL has already supported construction work at the former Battersea Power Station site, and is also supporting the Tideway project, with the transport of steel and portable cabins.

And, to add a touch of glamour, the Port of Tilbury is one of the UK’s leading cruise ports.

Fruit importsNFT’s £25 million multi-temperature port-centric distribution centre has been opened, next door to London Container Terminal. During 2016, it was announced that fruit importer Essential Fruits has chosen NFT to provide temperature-controlled warehousing and distribution throughout the UK and Europe, taking advantage of the facility.

The centre is designed to store 25,000 pallets within 230,000 square feet, making it one of Europe’s largest temper-ature-controlled quayside facilities.

‘Waste’ – never wastedThe Port of Tilbury has developed a remarkable range of recycling operations, and is well established as the UK’s largest waste export facility. These activities have continued to grow.

A new multi-million pound waste glass processing plant is being built at the port for URM; raw glass will arrive at the plant in containers, with the finished, processed product being shipped out. The Port of Tilbury is entering a long-term lease with URM to generate volumes both across the quay and in/out of the port via rail.

Meanwhile, the port has a new agree-ment with Biffa for the export of waste glass through the bulk terminal.

GrainIn 2015, a strategic partnership was announced between the port and Frontier Agriculture, the UK’s largest crop inputs and grain marketing business, in which Frontier has taken control of the Port of Tilbury grain terminal.

“The first year of the contract has seen record volumes going through the terminal. It has been a very good export year, particularly for deepsea exports to North Africa,” says Peter Ward. “We loaded one 55,000 tonne vessel during the season.

“We are now making plans to expand the grain terminal, which will potentially give another 16,000 tonnes of storage.”

Green powerThe Tilbury Green Power facility, which will use waste wood to generate electricity, is due to be operational in mid 2017. The £190 million plant, being built on the former Cargill site, will generate more than 300 GW of electricity a year, enough to power more than 70,000 homes.


PaperTilbury already holds the title of the UK’s biggest paper and forest products port, handling more than three million tonnes each year. Now Finnish forest products giant UPM, which already has a long history of shipping through Tilbury, has decided to centralise all of its UK imports from Rauma and Kotka. As a result, from the start of 2017 UPM will be bringing all its UK paper and plywood volumes through the port.

This centralisation of imports will improve supply chain efficiency and bring greater service reliability to customers, UPM has said. A long-term partnership agreement has been set up between UPM, the Port of Tilbury’s London Paper Terminal, and shipping line Transfennica, for two weekly arrivals into the port from the start of 2017.

Major users of the London Cruise Terminal include Cruise & Maritime Voyages and Fred Olsen Cruises, whose vessels departing from Tilbury generally head north to Scandinavia, the Baltic and Russia, or south to the Azores and the Caribbean

CruiseThe Port of Tilbury’s historic London Cruise Terminal continues to see substantial increases in ship calls and passengers, and also continues to benefit from substantial investment.

Built in the 1930s, the terminal is a Grade II Listed building, famous for being the departure point for thousands of Britons emigrating to Australia and the

Commonwealth before the arrival of affordable air travel.

The terminal and its unique floating landing stage are also a familiar site on the screen, having been used as the back-drop for many films and television dramas.

Forth Ports has invested heavily in the facility in recent years, refurbishing the floating part of the terminal as well as the building and facilities themselves. In the past year, work has included putting a new roof on the old rail terminal and renewing the buoyancy tanks and timbers


More than 100,000 cruise passengers used the London International Cruise Terminal in 2016.

underneath the second part of the terminal’s wooden jetty.

Major users of London Cruise Terminal include Cruise & Maritime Voyages and Fred. Olsen. Cruises departing from Tilbury generally head north to Scandinavia, the Baltic and Russia, or south to the Azores and the Caribbean.

The terminal is also in regular use for community events – an important reflection of the Port of Tilbury’s ongoing commitment to the local community.

DP World London Gateway Port opened an eventful 2016 by welcoming one of the world’s largest container ships – UASC’s 400-metre-long Al Muraykh, loaded with a world record 18,601 teu.

Twelve months later, the close of 2016 was marked by a series of significant announcements...

One of the UK’s fastest-growing supermarket groups, Lidl UK, is to open a 187,000 sq ft distribution facility at the DP World London Gateway Logistics Park in February 2017.

Construction work has started for phase two of the DP World London Gateway Logistics Centre to provide 180,000 square feet of new warehousing and office space on the Logistics Park.

Built on the site of the former Shell Haven oil refinery and opened in 2013, London DP World continues on its expansion path. When fully developed, the deepwater container port will provide six berths along 2,700 metres of quay, with depth alongside of 17 metres and annual capacity of 3.5 million teu.

Throughout 2016, DP World London Gateway’s new Berth Three continued to take shape. In June, the Zhen Hua 10 made its way up the River Thames at the end of its voyage from Shanghai, to deliver the first two of the new state-of-the-art quay cranes for Berth Three. Two more cranes followed a week later.

Weighing in at 2,000 tonnes, these quay cranes are 138 metres tall at their

highest point, the same height as the London Eye. During 2016, the port also took delivery of stacking cranes, hybrid shuttle carriers and other equipment for Berth Three.

Early in 2016, it was announced that Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping line, was to switch the UK call on its South America service to DP World London Gateway, with the first call in March.

Later in the year, the port welcomed another new service, linking South and Central America to North Europe. The SAWC-USA-NWC service is operated by MSC, and the first call at DP World London Gateway was made by the MSC Sofia Celeste in October.

The service has consolidated MSC’s US East Coast to South America West Coast with Northern Europe to South America West Coast services, following expansion of the Panama Canal.

In September, it was announced that CMA CGM’s NEMO (North European Mediterranean Oceania) and Hapag Lloyd’s EAX (Europe, Australia Express) combined service would be calling at DP World London Gateway. As a result, DP World London Gateway will be handling all of the UK’s direct services to Australia. In addition to four port calls at cities in Australia, the service provides more direct links with Singapore, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Malta and Italy.

CMA CGM’s European Caribbean Service is due to start calling at DP World London Gateway from January 2017. Dedicated to reefer transport, the service will provide one of the shortest transit times on the market between Central America and North Europe. It also enables the UK to connect with the whole of the Caribbean region through CMA CGM’s strategic hub in Kingston, Jamaica.

Logistics ParkDevelopments have also continued at the nine million square foot DP World London Gateway Logistics Park.

Work to create 180,000 square feet of new, cross-dock distribution warehousing and office space is well under way. This is the second and final phase of the DP World London Gateway Logistics Centre.

Phase One, providing 207,000 square feet of warehouse and office space, was completed in early 2015. Phase Two, which will be available for occupation from May 2017, adds another 155,000 square feet of warehouse accommodation, plus 10,000 square feet of conjoined office space. In addition to this, there is a separate 15,000 square feet of office space available for occupation.

“This development provides a rare opportunity for fast occupation of a high-


spec cross-dock distribution warehouse facility, in a prime South East location, next to the rapidly expanding deepwater port,” says DP World London Gateway Logistics Park Development Director Oliver Treneman.

Meanwhile, work has been progressing on UPS’s 32,000 square metre new parcel sorting hub; the steel structure has risen from the ground and this facility is on track to open by the end of 2017.

One of UPS’s largest ever infrastructure investments outside the United States, this facility will act as a UK hub and distribution centre for the local area as well as a key gateway to its global transportation network. Once completed, this state-of-the-art facility will be able to process approximately 30,000 packages per hour, with room for further expansion.

Other logistics developments included confirmation that truck and trailer specialist Hireco would work with DP World to offer a range of services and facilities for hauliers at DP World London Gateway.

EnvironmentFrom the day that DP World London Gateway took over the former Shell Haven oil refinery site, a determined commitment to the environment has continued in parallel with port and logistics park developments.

That commitment continued in 2016, and in October DP World London Gateway completed the creation of the new Salt Fleet Flats Reserve – 65 hectares of intertidal habitat, made up of 59 hectares of mudflat, important for wading birds, and six hectares of saltmarsh.

The new reserve, equivalent in size to 82 football pitches, is on the south bank of the River Thames, just north of Cooling, in Kent. DP World was required to provide additional mudflat habitat as a condition of being granted permission to build the deepsea terminal. This was to compen-sate for habitat expected to be lost during construction. However, DP World has more than compensated, creating 12 more hectares than required.

On the north bank of the Thames, DP World created Stanford Wharf Nature Reserve. Completed in 2010, this

provides 27 hectares of intertidal mudflat habitat.

Salt Fleet Flats Reserve was created by building a new 2.4 km sea wall, inland of the existing one; the older sea wall was then breached along a 700 metre section to enable the land to flood with the tide. This was the largest breach of a sea wall in the UK.

Also in 2016, DP World London Gateway Port was awarded The Planet Mark for demonstrating its commitment to carbon emissions reduction.

This internationally recognised certification programme is wholly owned by Planet First, a sustainability service provider working in conjunction with the Eden Project in Cornwall.

The port was able to demonstrate the systems it already has in place to reduce and monitor its carbon emissions, which include high-quality data and detailed carbon measurement, automated stacking cranes and other hi-tech initiatives that increase efficiency, LED lighting throughout the port and operations buildings, and zero waste to landfill.

AEO accreditationAchieving full Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status is an important step for DP World London Gateway.

AEO accreditation indicates that the port’s role in the international supply chain is secure and that Customs controls and procedures are efficient and compliant.

London Gateway’s designation followed a three-day audit of the site which scrutinised the port’s security, IT and fiscal systems, and its storage, processing and employment procedures.

AEO status ensures a swifter flow of cargo through the terminal, as Customs procedures are simplified, while the highest levels of security are upheld.

“AEO status grants peace of mind to UK Customs and our customers, while enabling us to deliver a simplified, more efficient service,” says Chris Lewis, UK managing director of DP World.

In October DP World London Gateway completed the creation of the new Salt Fleet Flats Reserve – 65 hectares of intertidal habitat, made up of 59 hectares of mudflat, important for wading birds, and six hectares of saltmarsh.

Commitment to the communityDP World London Gateway has been very involved in community projects from the outset and recently that commitment has been reinforced with the launch of a strategy which seeks to give back to the community and inspire the next generation.

In the past two years, the port has welcomed more than 1,500 visitors from the local community.

During 2016, more than 150 members of the DP World London Gateway team volunteered in local secondary and primary schools, hospices, nature reserves and beaches. This benefited more than 50 organisations and more than 2,000 individuals.

DP World London Gateway raised £40,000 at its annual charity quiz night, organised a Christmas party for 100 local school children and worked with local schools and an artist to create a mural for one of Stanford-le-Hope’s subways.

How ‘green’ can a port be? Always greener is the answer.

The PLA already leads the field in its proactive commitment to the environment but, at the same, it recognises that there is always room for improvement.

This year the PLA steps ahead again, with the introduction of a new ‘Green Tariff’ to encourage and support ship owners that are committed to improving their environmental performance.

London is the first port in the UK to offer a discount on port charges for vessels with lower emissions, and the move has been widely welcomed in the shipping industry and beyond.

Cleaner, greener ships, based on an Environmental Shipping Index (ESI) score of 30 or above, will benefit from a 5% reduction in charges.

“This new Green Tariff links to our environmental commitments as part of the Thames Vision,” says PLA environment manager Tanya Ferry. “Our priority actions include encouraging the uptake of new and green technologies to reduce the port’s environmental impact. Air quality is becoming an increasingly high-profile issue, particularly in London, and this initiative demonstrates that we are starting to address it.”

The ESI, developed by the World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI), ranks ships’

environmental performance based on emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide and carbon dioxide, as well as other factors such as whether the ship can connect to onshore power.

As PLA chairman Christopher Rodrigues pointed out when announcing the Green Tariff: “Shipping is the most environmentally friendly method of moving large volumes of goods and materials. Nevertheless, more can be done to make shipping even cleaner. As ships represent a substantial capital investment, we want to encourage faster adoption of new green technologies by giving an added incentive to adopt cleaner technologies.”

As ‘Custodians of the Tidal Thames’, the PLA’s overall goal is to reduce the port’s environmental impact and the Green Tariff is a very significant early move.

Tanya Ferry says: “We are committed to reducing the contribution of air emissions from marine traffic. We are also implementing monitoring and undertaking an inventory exercise to develop a baseline of what is currently being emitted, so we can demonstrate the benefits delivered by this incentive.”

The Green Tariff has been welcomed by the UK Chamber of Shipping, whose director of policy, David Balston said: “The shipping industry is committed to leading the way on improvements in environmental performance. We wholeheartedly welcome the PLA’s approach to rewarding those investing to increase their fleet efficiency and lower their emissions impact.”

A new initiative by the PLA to encourage cleaner, greener ships has been welcomed in the industry.

London moves ahead

with GreenTariff




A balanced viewProtection of the marine environment runs like a central thread through everything the PLA does. But at the same time, this must be balanced with the need to protect and support port operations on the tidal Thames.

The push to reduce the carbon footprint of all the PLA’s activities is ongoing and determined, with a target to reduce this by 25% by 2020. More meters have been installed to monitor energy use across the PLA’s offices and buildings, and to identify where there are any specific issues.

“We know there are some peaks in energy use and by monitoring we can identify the building, activity or equipment involved,” says Tanya Ferry. “We have appointed an energy manager to develop our energy policy and are also looking at extending the use of solar panels on our buildings. All of this is overlaid with our behavioural changes initiatives – the simple things, like switching off lights, reducing the use of paper, recycling.”

During 2016, there was another rather traditional sounding focus – litter. The Cleaner Thames campaign, was launched in 2015 by the PLA, in partnership with

Thames21, the Thames Litter forum, Royal Holloway – University of London, Natural History Museum and Tideway.

This, though, is far more than just a tidying up exercise. There is growing alarm at the rise of plastic waste (bags, bottles, coffee cups, cartons) that find their way into the river. The problems of marine litter have been moving higher up the global agenda, with a particular focus on plastic materials, which can break up, move downriver and out to sea, and end up in the stomachs of birds, fish and animals.

In June 2016, Tanya Ferry was among environmental experts who warned a cross-party group of MPs and Peers that the impact of marine litter needs to be addressed.

The PLA removes around 300 tonnes of ‘driftwood’ from the Thames every year, but much of this is actually plastic. “We collect the equivalent weight of 24,000 discarded water bottles,” says Tanya Ferry. “But it is just the tip of the iceberg, as we can only remove litter off the foreshore and floating into our driftwood collectors. Each driftwood collector catches between three and ten bottles every hour, depending on their location and the season. The sheer volume of rubbish is frightening and has an impact on the port and marine environment.”

The Cleaner Thames campaign will run for at least another year, and may be

Ballast waterThe ratification of the IMO’s Ballast Water Convention has an impact for global shipping. The PLA is monitoring this, and working with partners to help trade continue without problems.

Meanwhile, there are question marks about how Brexit may impact on the application of European environmental regulations, and the PLA is following developments closely.

extended beyond that. “We have worked hard to get the message across. For example, to commuters on the river via Transport for London posters, via artworks that were commissioned and by visiting businesses around the Thames. And there will be more focused messaging in 2017,” says Tanya Ferry. “It will take time to analyse what has been achieved but we have certainly raised our profile internationally as a port which is doing something about litter.

“The Thames Vision has brought the PLA even further forward in the environmental sector overall; we are stepping forward in roles that might have traditionally been covered by other environmental NGOs and regulators. We take our responsibility very seriously and go far over and above our statutory responsibilities. It is for the Thames and for everyone that uses the river.”

Marine mammalsThe number of seals seen in London has been steadily increasing, a good indication that the Thames is far cleaner than just a few years ago.

Unfortunately, there have been incidents where people have upset these sensitive animals by approaching them or

attempting to handle them, often with the best of intentions. “We are working with the London Zoological Society and the Natural History Museum to educate people to leave them alone and to understand the signs of distress,” says Tanya Ferry.

Marine Conservation ZonesThe next tranche of proposed Marine Conservation Zones is due to be announced in early 2017. The PLA has worked closely with Defra to provide economic data about the port and emphasise the need to minimise the impact of any designation on port operators.

“This is about protecting operations, while recognising the importance of the marine environment,” says Tanya Ferry. “As an authority, we are already doing a great deal of work, often unseen, to minimise the impact of operations on the environment.”

“The PLA removes around 300 tonnes of ‘driftwood’ from the Thames every year, but much of this is actually plastic. We collect the equivalent weight of 24,000 discarded water bottles.” Tanya FerryEnvironment Manager

icImagine a group of visitors taking time to watch port operations on the Thames. What would they see? Ships, boats, quays, cranes, bridges – in short, all the things that can be seen above the water.

They probably wouldn’t consider that there’s a whole other dimension but that’s the job of the PLA’s hydrographic team. Along the entire length of the tidal Thames, the hydrographic team are responsible for ‘seeing’ what is under-neath the water, and their skills are a vital part of ensuring safe, cost-effective, environmentally sound shipping and port operations.

If a sand bank has been shifted by a storm, or sediment has been swept into a berth by tidal flows, or a container has gone overboard and might be obstructing the shipping channel, or there’s a suspicion of unexploded ordnance on the river bed, the hydrographic team have the surveying expertise and equipment to identify exactly what is happening.

They can demonstrate with absolute precision where any dredging is required. Equally, if an old anchor or other obstruction needs to be recovered, they can direct divers to the spot with pinpoint accuracy, saving valuable time and costs in a river where the natural sediment build-up means a diver really cannot see his hand in front of his face.

When the world’s biggest, deepest ships come into the Port of London, they need to have complete confidence in the UK Admiralty charts and the tide tables on

which they depend. All of this information comes direct from the PLA’s hydrographic department.

As conservancy authority, the PLA is responsible for a 95-mile stretch of the River Thames. This encompasses 400 square miles of river and seabed, where water depths, tidal heights and tidal flows must be accurately measured and predicted, with all the information published in clear and timely fashion both electronically and on traditional charts.

The whole river is surveyed, bank to bank, on a rolling programme over five to 15 years, depending on the particular area. About 90 survey areas are subject to greater change and consequently have higher navigational significance and these are surveyed much more frequently, as often as once a month in some cases.

As well as serving the needs of the PLA as the statutory harbour and conservancy authority, the hydrographic department works closely with port and terminal managers and a range of other customers on a commercial basis, carrying out surveys, sampling and monitoring water quality, and providing data to support them in their operations and developments.

This support work was very much at the forefront during the major dredge carried out in the run-up to the opening of the DP World London Gateway container port in 2013 and now the hydrographic team is providing vital surveying services to the Tideway project.

Regular baseline studies have been undertaken since 2013, using both multibeam and laser technologies, and these continue.

“We are undertaking bank to bank surveys annually as well as detailed work site surveys quarterly; this provides historical records that are important

The PLA hydrographic team provides marine asset surveys -

above and below water.

“Using 3D imaging and analysis, we can detectitems down to 12 cms in size, identify whetherit’s a piece of iron, wood or a tyre, and then be specific in targeting safe inspection andremoval by divers”.John Pinder Port Hydrographer


Lights, camera…imageThe hydrographic team draw on a range of technologies in their work, including multibeam, side-scan sonar and LiDAR (laser) surveying as well as GeoChirp 3D.

In the past year, another specialist service has been increasingly in demand – the use of very high-resolution photog-raphy for civil engineering surveys.

The department is using state-of-the-art high-res camera equipment, together with sophisticated software to enhance photographs so that structural engineers can see precisely what they need.

Safety and timing are crucial here. The photographer needs to get close to the subject in order to achieve forensic quality pictures and the work must be carefully planned around tidal conditions as well as light and weather.

The results can be astonishing in terms of capturing minute details and enabling measurements of any possible cracks or damage to a structure.

“As a department, we can offer photography, vessel-mounted, laser or bathymetric surveys,” says John Pinder. “We have also done trials using a drone to take photographs and this could be useful in asset management. We also continue to gather a great range of data on the bridges over the Thames for TfL.”

for measuring any change,” says port hydrographer John Pinder. “Because we have been doing this monitoring work for three years since well before any construction work was done, we have built up a large bank of data. This baseline of natural seasonal changes gives a picture of the natural regime, so that we can make sure the Tideway work isn’t causing any scouring or silting, undermining river walls or causing any other impacts.”

On top of that, the hydrographic team have provided a wide range of technical information in support of Tideway’s works, such as core penetration tests to check ground strength at key sites, analysing samples to check for contamination, and carrying out 3D riverbed and shoreline surveys.

“We have taken on extra admin support in the office – we are gathering a great deal of data and all of this needs to be checked and processed,” says John Pinder.

First year for the Maplin – and another new boat on the wayThe Maplin, a purpose-built new hydrographic survey vessel, was delivered to the PLA at the beginning of 2016. Built at the Colchester yard of CTruk, this 17-metre catamaran has had a successful first year of operation.

“Maplin is economic to run and has been performing well, both in our safety of navigation surveys and also new capabilities including seismic survey work such as 3DChirp technology,” says John Pinder. “3DChirp allied with our existing systems is an excellent solution for sub-riverbed Geophysical investiga-tions and clearance. Using 3D imaging and analysis, we can detect items down to 12 cms in size, identify whether it’s a piece of iron, wood or a tyre, and then be specific in targeting safe inspection and removal by divers”.

This year a new 11-metre river survey boat will be ordered and this will focus primarily on Tideway-related work. The delivery of this craft will allow the Yantlet to be retired, after more than 20 years of excellent service.

The PLA’s Business Asset Management process will zero in on asset management

from design to disposal.

Engineering a success

A reorganisation in the past year has brought all of the PLA’s engineering functions under one umbrella – and this change has certainly underlined the breadth and depth of the expertise and services involved.

Marine services, hydrographic services, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, and navigation systems engineering are now all within the portfolio overseen by the director of marine operations, Peter Steen.

“A key advantage of putting all of the engineering functions into one directorate is that it enables us to look very carefully at our asset management,” he says. “As a direct result of the strategic initiatives within the Thames Vision, we have embarked on a major Business Asset Management process, closely linked to integrated ERP (enterprise resource planning).

“Up to now, we have had various programs in which we hold all the

information about our assets; now, we are looking to create and maintain a consistent measure of all our assets and what condition they are in. Where previously, smaller less valuable items would not be listed in our asset register, now we intend to assess assets right across the PLA, from PCs to boats.

“This new Business Asset Management process will introduce a uniform condition assessment, so we can gather some KPIs (key performance indicators) that show how we are doing as a business and how we are looking after our assets.”

Yes, this is a huge undertaking, says Peter Steen. Work will start in 2017; civil engineer Sarah Robinson will head up the project. She will analyse where information is currently recorded, how it is accessed and how it can be linked to a comprehensive GIS (geographic information system).

“The idea is to manage everything from design to disposal, right the way through its lifecycle,” says Peter Steen. “Ultimately, the aim is to improve maintenance and save money. We will move away from ‘reactive’ maintenance, which tends to be more expensive, to more planned maintenance.”

New vesselsThe arrival of the £7 million mooring maintenance vessel London Titan at the end of 2015 represented the largest single investment made by the PLA in two decades.

Built by Manor Marine in Portland, Titan, 36.5 metres long and 13.5 metres wide, is designed to lay buoys, haul wreckage from the bottom of the river, support diving operations and carry out small plough dredging operations.

“The Titan has done some sterling work in its first year of operation,” says Peter Steen. “This has ranged from some challenging salvage work to installing moorings for Tideway.”

During 2017, the PLA will look to place an order for a new river traffic control vessel. This will play a vital role in the river, for example, when works are ongoing or traffic disrupted. The focus will be on a vessel with the lowest emissions and best fuel efficiency possible, consistent with the requirements of the needs of the role.

Turning on a sixpence: the ultra-manoeuvrable mooring maintenance vessel, London Titan is ideal for work in central London.

Marine civil engineering and marine plant hire: combining technically innovative project management and traditional skills

Investments and improvements

Accommodation and facilities used by PLA crews on Royal Terrace Pier is to be improved and upgraded.

The civil engineering team have completed a programme of improvements at Richmond Lock and Weir.

The upgrade of the Broadness radar has been completed.

Work is due to start on the construction of a new £1 million radar tower at Northfleet.

Work is underway to create a planned maintenance system for all of the PLA’s vessels, including everything from powered craft to barges and pontoons.

A successful, thriving Port of London relies on its ‘backstage’ support.

Essential maintenance: the PLA civil engineering team looks after everything from river revetment walls to radar towers.

Denton Wharf Denton Wharf, near Gravesend, plays a key role in the success of the Port of London.

Here, the PLA operates a 40-metre jetty which is perfectly located for serving the Thames and much in demand for loading and offloading construction and other equipment.

The PLA also operates a 70-tonne capacity boat lift, which is in frequent use for its own vessels and also for commercial vessels, including dredgers, cabin cruisers, barges, workboats and passenger boards. These are all lifted out of the water to undergo surveys, routine maintenance work, refurbishments and repairs. The PLA also provides a jet washing service for owners.

The boat lift operation is now moving up a gear. A new boat lift has been ordered from Roodberg in the Netherlands and will arrive in 2017.

“This new boat lift will be larger, with four-wheel steering and it will be remote control, providing a safer operation,” says Peter Steen. “It is being built with a nominal 100 tonne lift but downgraded; the actual weight capacity will be about the same, as we are limited by ground strength.”

Further investment at Denton has included the construction of a new welfare unit, providing much improved facilities for contractors working onsite from the start of 2017.

The ‘backstage team’Anyone familiar with the River Thames might also be familiar with the sight of a PLA workboat, launch or other vessel going about its work. But do they actually have any idea what that workboat and its occupants might be doing?

The extraordinarily wide range of support services provided by the PLA isn’t always appreciated and yet they underpin the smooth running of the port. Indeed, a successful, thriving Port of London relies on this ‘backstage’ support.

Diving, salvage, mooring maintenance, underwater inspections, wharf services, boat lifting, load-out services, storage, driftwood and rubbish clearance, maintaining aids to navigation and pollution response are all within the remit of the marine services department, which works along the full 95-mile stretch of the tidal Thames.

The team are based and coordinated at Marine House, the PLA’s operational support facility at Denton Wharf, where the PLA’s fleet of nearly 40 working vessels are maintained.

The PLA operates two specialist craft, Driftwood II and Driftwood III, for removing rubbish from the river and the team also regularly empties the passive driftwood collectors that are located along the river. The PLA also works with the environmental charity Thames21, supporting its volunteer foreshore clean-ups.

Calor Gas TerminalThe Calor Gas Terminal on Canvey Island handles a throughput of circa 150,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) a year and 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 250 metres loa, with the product being stored in eight separate insulated tanks at -42 degrees centigrade.

LPG imports are distributed inland by road tanker and via a recently modified 8 km under-ground 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.

The new access road to the terminal, opened in October 2014 at a cost of £1 million following agreement between Calor, Oikos and the PLA, has significantly improved the amenity for the local residents as all LPG road tankers are now being routed away from the built-up areas on Canvey and use the Roscommon Way

extension for access to the terminal. An additional road tanker loading facility has been constructed to further enhance the capacity available for tanker loading to meet peak winter demand and ensure supply security to customers.

Some LPG is re-exported by ship via pressurised LPG carriers to many European countries, ranging from the France 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 world-wide LPG suppliers. The terminal also plays a key role in the interna-tional storage and supply strate-gies of Calor’s parent company, SHV, which operates LPG business throughout Europe, Asia and South America.

Shell Haven Terminal Ideally located on the north bank of the River Thames, downstream of London Gateway and close to the M25, Shell Haven Terminal is a key hub for the import and supply of aviation fuel (Jet A-1).

Shell Haven’s modern jetty and import facilities, commissioned in 2011, allow vessels up 250 metres in length and 135,000 tonnes (summer deadweight) to be safely and quickly accommodated. The terminal’s central control building, built in 2011, accommodates all site operations in a single modern facility.

Shell Haven Terminal is the largest aviation fuel import terminal in the UK, delivering aviation fuel via two pipeline systems to the UK’s South East and Midlands airports and via its road gantry to the region’s tanker-fed airports.

Oikos Storage LtdOikos 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 CLH Pipeline System (CLH-PS), formerly 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 systems.

A top tier COMAH site, the Oikos terminal handles the full range of liquid bulks, including aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, marine bunker fuels and other petroleum products and chemicals. The first phase of a £65 million investment programme at the site was completed mid-2012, including the rebuilding of Jetty 1 at a cost of £8 million to handle ships up to 50,000 dwt (now up-rated to 55,000 dwt) and 12.5 metres draft.

Other work included replacing the entire onsite pipeline network, refurbishing or demolishing/ rebuilding dozens of tanks, building a high-tech control room and refurbishing road-loading racks.

A second phase of investment was completed and commenced operation in 2013.

Owned by the Australian financial services company Challenger, Oikos has signed up a number of major customers in the past few years and has now received planning permission for the next phase of development. Planning permission was received from Castle Point Borough Council and the MMO in August 2016 for a new jetty capable of receiving LR2 vessels up to 120,000 dwt and 14.5 metres draft; preliminary exploratory works have been completed and detailed design is under way with construction due to start in the summer of 2017. The development also includes rebuilding of a further tank bund consisting of 12 tanks with a total capacity of 80,000 cu m and licensed for gasoline storage, and dedicated road loading bays for Jet A1.

The terminal 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 Roscommon Way enabled road tankers heading to and from the Oikos facility to bypass local homes, thus minimising disruption to residents.

Aggregate IndustriesAggregate Industries manufactures and supplies quarry products and building materials to the construction industry. Employing over four thousand people in the UK and northern Europe, Aggregate Industries was 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, currently rated ‘Very Good’ across the whole of its business.

With operations in the centre of London and the Thames Gateway areas, Aggregate Industries is well placed to serve construction projects at the heart of the nation. Through its Brentford-based ready-mixed concrete business London Concrete, it has supplied construction projects such as the Shard, the Olympic Park and Crossrail.

As a quarrying company, Aggregate Industries owns sites across the UK and has major 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 more than six million lorry miles each year. It has a reputation for taking on the South East’s most technically complicated maritime projects. In 2012, Bennett’s Barges was at the forefront of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee pageant. The specially refitted tug Stephen B and barge Ursula Katherine underwent extensive redesign to carry the floating belfry containing the eight Jubilee Bells.

Aggregate Industries is committed to use of the river for transporting freight through the capital without adding to road use. The amount of freight being carried on the Thames will

potentially treble over the next five years, and for good reason. The specialist barge fleet is used 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.

At Blackfriars Bridge, Bennett’s Barges assisted in transporting more than 80,000 tons of material to and from the site by water – not a single lorry load being put on London’s roads.

Aggregate Industries is looking to work on future London develop-ment projects that are committed to using the waterways, such as the Thames Tideway Tunnel, the Northern Line extension and the ongoing programme of flood defence works in the Thames Estuary.

Aggregate Industries is a member of the LafargeHolcim Group, one of the world’s leading suppliers of cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt.

Brett AggregatesMore 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 and river export accounts for the onward transit of more than 40% of Brett’s output from the terminal, with several trains departing every day.

An onsite block-making plant utilises imported aggregates to produce a number of concrete products for Brett Landscaping and Building Products.

The site has very significant capacity for receipt of spoil from construction projects and is able to receive imported spoil by river and by rail. Imported spoil is used to build a bird reserve in a partnership project with the RSPB.

Brett Aggregates also has terminals at Northfleet, Ridham, Whitstable and Ramsgate, and other facilities outside the Thames Estuary, all of which handle bulk

materials including minerals, and supply goods and services into the construction industry in the South East market.

In 2017 Brett will open a new terminal at Peruvian Wharf, which will be used for the importation by river of aggregates and the manufacture of readymix concrete for the central London market.

CEMEX UKCEMEX 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 four wharves on the river. It supplies several of its concrete plants with aggregates by river barges, reducing lorry deliveries into central London. Materials are supplied by barge to the CEMEX Fulham site for use in the onsite concrete plant, as well as to other CEMEX customers along the river, while Northfleet Wharf, Dagenham and Angerstein Wharf handle imports of sea-dredged aggregates from CEMEX UK Marine.

A new wharf has been developed at Dagenham, making this the closest aggregate production north of the river to central London, with production capacity of 500,000 tonnes a year.

The CEMEX concrete products factory at Northfleet produces paving, concrete blocks and bricks. The multipurpose facility is CEMEX’s largest concrete products factory in the UK. It has a prime location by the Thames which enables it to maximise both the amount of dredged raw material it can use and the amount of material that is brought in by river, as opposed to road.

CEMEX’s 1.2 million tonne capacity cement grinding and blending plant at the Port of Tilbury is the only cement grinding plant in South East England. As well as CEM1 Portland cement, the main 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 10 metres water depth and the ability to handle ships up to 25,000 tonnes. It is well positioned to take advantage of CEMEX UK’s extensive network of London wharves and depots, all of which are connected by river and rail to further minimise emissions and relieve the pressure on congested roads.

Hanson Hanson operates three 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); and a wharf and ready-mixed concrete plant at Wandsworth.

Volumes of marine-dredged sand and gravel through the aggregates hub at Dagenham increased again last year as the London construction market remained buoyant. Huge quantities of sand, gravel and limestone were used to make ready-mixed concrete for some of the city’s landmark construction projects. These included the Northern Line extension at Battersea for Transport for London and enabling works for Tideway.

Looking ahead to 2017, con-struction markets in London and the South East are expected to hold firm, despite the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, fuelled by further investment in shops, offices and infrastructure and an increase in road maintenance funding confirmed in the Chancellor’s autumn statement.

As a result, Hanson is planning a major upgrade of its Victoria Deep Water Terminal, including facilities to import and store cement and development of a precast concrete factory to make tunnelling segments for the Tideway project, which is expected to take six years to complete.

The Thames is crucial to Hanson’s operations, enabling the company to deliver materials close to where they are needed, eliminating thousands of road miles. Around 600,000 tonnes a year of marine-dredged sand and gravel from the eastern English Channel and the North Sea are landed at Dagenham Wharf. 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 and Wandsworth.

Rail also plays a key part in the distribution chain. Crushed limestone from the Mendips and hardstone from South Wales 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. Sand, gravel and crushed rock 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 Dagenham terminal, 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.

Industrial ChemicalsIndustrial Chemicals Limited has operated in the Thurrock area since 1976 and purchased its 80-acre site at the former West Thurrock Power Station some 19 years ago.

The company employs more than 300 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 chemical manufacturing plants throughout the UK and supplies products to the detergent, paper, water treatment and chemical industries on a global basis. These customers range from large inter-national blue chip companies to small family businesses.

Investments at the jetty in recent years have included the installation of a Siwertell mobile screw unloader 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. Additional investment has seen the installation of a pipeline on the jetty and construction of new tank capacity on the main site to facilitate the handling and storage of liquid bulk products.

West Thurrock Jetty handled 134,000 tonnes of products in 2016, an impressive increase when compared to the previous year’s throughput of 103,000 tonnes.

Situated only two miles from Junction 30/31 of the M25 London orbital motorway and 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 third-party customers.

Industrial Chemicals has an onsite approved weighbridge as well as 24/7 security operations across the whole site.

Stema Shipping (UK) LtdStema has two operations on the Thames handling sand, gravel and aggregates on the Thames – at Red Lion Wharf in Northfleet and at the Port of Tilbury. The company had a very busy 2016, recording a record year for import of aggregates through our Thames terminals.

Red Lion Wharf, which is owned by Stema, has a 220-metre jetty with depth alongside of seven metres and six acres of open storage for imported aggregates. About 850,000 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 250,000 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 400,000 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.

TarmacTarmac, a CRH company, is the UK’s leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions business. The company has over 150 years of experience and directly employs around 6,900 people across a nationwide network of over 400 sites. Its solutions span aggregates, asphalt, cement, lime, readymix concrete, road contracting services, building products and recycling services.

Its innovative products and solutions not only help to safely deliver the infrastructure needed to grow the UK economy today but also help to create a more sustainable built environment for the country’s long term future.

Tarmac has a number of operations along the tidal Thames, at Northfleet, Charlton, Erith, Thurrock and Greenhithe. Between them, these sites distribute millions

of tonnes of cement, marine-dredged sand and gravel, and crushed rock aggregate through-out the London and South East by road, rail and water. The business has contributed to a number of prestigious projects from its wharves on the Thames, including the Channel Tunnel terminus at King’s Cross/St Pancras, the Emirates Stadium, Canary Wharf, the Millennium Dome, the Olympic athletes’ village, Crossrail and the M25.

Murphy’s Wharf, on the Greenwich peninsula, for example, is ideally placed to supply east and central London, being located on the south of the River Thames and near the Blackwall Tunnel. It is believed to be the largest marine aggregate terminal in Europe in terms of output, capable of operating 24/7 and complemented by an onsite concrete plant which supplies ready-mix concrete into the local market. Nearly half of all material made at the facility is transported to customers by rail. During 2013, a new rail loading facility and primary screens were installed to expand this capability.

The sites at Riverside Wharf (Charlton), Mulberry Wharf


(Belvedere) and Pioneer Wharf (Erith) complement the Murphy’s Wharf operation, providing additional capacity and flexibility to supply the Kent and south/east London markets.

The sites at Greenwich (Brewery Wharf) and Silvertown (Dock Road Wharf) both produce readymix concrete using aggregates trans-ported to them by barge.

Greenhithe processes sea-dredged sand and gravel for use in building projects across the region. Tarmac’s cement and aggregates 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 dis-charge at all times, regardless of the tide. The material is processed on site ready for onward distribu-tion by road or rail. In 2015, Tarmac invested in new processing facilities at Thurrock for marine-dredged aggregates boosting both production capability and reliance at this location.

Northfleet is a notable success story. The former cement plant has been demolished and the

company is planning for a new operation that will enable it to supply essential construction materials to and from the site by river, road and rail. A cement import cement terminal is opera-tional at Northfleet and planning permission has been granted for an aggregates terminal to make use of the site’s deepwater wharf (42 Wharf) and its proximity to London.

Tarmac has made a major investment in reconnecting its rail freight facilities at Northfleet to the main north Kent line. The new line was used up to 2014 to transport excavated material from the Cross-rail tunnels in London, reducing HGV movements out of the capital. At Northfleet, the excavated material was then transferred to ship for the final part of its journey along the Thames to enhance the RSPB nature reserve at Wallasea Island in Essex.

T&L SugarsThe T&L Sugars Thames Refinery at Silvertown is one of the largest cane sugar refineries in the world. The 13.6 hectare site can process 160 tonnes of raw sugar an hour, with an annual capacity of up to 1.1 million tonnes per annum. 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 guaranteed minimum depth of 10 metres at low water and receives up to 50 vessels each year in a range of sizes from 4,000 to 58,000 dwt.

Raw sugar is imported by Tate & Lyle Sugars from a variety of suppliers who are granted pref-erential access to the EU under agreements with the ACP (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific), LDC (Least Developed Countries) and MFN (Most Favoured Nations), and under the terms of Free Trade Agreements with Central and South American suppliers, together with sugar from world market suppliers such as Brazil.

Refined sugar and specialist products are transported directly to domestic retail and industrial customers from the site, either packed or as bulk dry and liquid products, and are also exported by ship or container worldwide. The 48-metre export jetty alongside the refinery can handle vessels of more than 3,000 dwt.

The raw sugar jetty is equipped with two cranes, each with a capacity of 16 tonnes, installed in 2007. These, together with current stevedoring arrangements, ensure that raw sugar discharge at the refinery is a world-class operation.

Since 2008, Tate & Lyle Sugars has supported many farmers’ organisations to become Fairtrade certified. Today Tate & Lyle Sugars sources Fairtrade sugar from thousands of small-scale cane farmers in 14 different groups in four countries.

The Port of Tilbury is the largest deep water port on the River Thames.

Due to the Port’s proximity to Greater London and the South East (i.e. 70% of Britain’s population is within a 120 mile radius of Tilbury), Tilbury delivers lower supply chain costs and a lower carbon footprint for its customers using its developed multi-modal transport platforms.

The Port handles 16.5 million tonnes per annum, with Tilbury projected to double that through-put to 33 million tonnes over the next 15-20 years.

The port handles over 3,000 ships per year and over 10,000 road vehicles are handled per day.

With its own dedicated Crown Police Force, the port has full International Security (ISPS) compliance.

All of our equipment is custom-built and uniquely designed to give maximum benefit to customers in efficiency whilst ensuring the highest levels of safety in operation for all project needs, enabling them to cater for all bulk handling requirements regardless of budgets, time constraints and locations.

Rail Wagon Unloading. RFS are able to discharge all types of bulk commodities from various types of rail wagon used on the network today, typically aggregates, coal, waste, scrap and finished products e.g. block bricks within the required timetable.

Train & Lorry Loading. In addition to the grab equipment which is suitable for train and lorry loading, RFS also run a fleet of front ended loading shovels fitted with weigh-loaders and ticket printers guaranteed to +-2%.

Intermodal Bulk Handling. Some products need to be isolated for various reasons, and are maybe best suited to travel in a container. RFS own and operate equipment suitable for loading 20T, 30T and 40T containers to and from lorries and trains.

Ship Loading & Unloading. RFS operate long-reach equipment with power-turn clamshell grabs and high rise cabs, ideal for loading or unloading bulk community products from ships or barges of up to 6,000 tonnes capacity for a quayside. In addition RFS own and operate 5 grain elevators which have a combined loading rate of 1,500tph.

Ancillary Services. RFS own and operate a range of forklifts, lorries, screening equipment and mobile weighbridges which are available as part of your logistics solution if required.
