FOREWORD

Foreword by Port of London Authority Chief Excutive Richard Everitt

For a city and its river, what follows a year when it hosted an Olympics and an unprecedented Royal river pageant?

For London, the Thames and the Port of London Authority (PLA), the answer is an awful lot. The gaze of the world’s TV cameras may no longer be on the city or the Thames, but the scope and scale of developments on the river is unprecedented.

The diversity of investment projects in hand along the river tells the story.

They cover power generation, container handling, vehicle and car parts delivery, passenger piers and fuel handling. It’s a testament to the Thames being a great place to do business.

People are at the heart of that business.

Thames-side facilities enjoy unique ‘on the doorstep’ access to the biggest consumer market in the UK. And in London that market access is backed by the wealth of marine expertise, both in the PLA and amongst the operators of vessels and terminals on the river, to turn plans and visions into reality.

This Handbook gives an insight into the services and capabilities on offer on the river. If you want to know more, do please get in touch with our Commercial Development Manager, Glenda Frost on 01474-562243.

Port of London Handbook 9

“What better way to focus attention on the River Thames than to have the Royal family moored on a barge, watching a flotilla of more than a thousand boats passing by?”

Lloyd’s List

2012… an unforgettable year in which the world’s spotlight fell on London.

From the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant to the arrival of the Olympic Torch, to the dramatic opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, the iconic River Thames took its rightful position – centre stage.

If ever there was a legacy from 2012, it is this... just look at what the River Thames can do.

The Port of London Authority’s (PLA) dedicated and expert teams played a crucial role in all of the year’s events, in planning and security, providing navigational advice and services, operational support and expert pilotage, installing additional moorings, finding space for cruise ships and super-yachts, and liaising with and supporting police and emergency, military, security and local authorities.

But it’s important to remember that, throughout this extraordinary year, it was also ‘business as usual’ for the PLA as it continued to support and serve the myriad terminals and wharfs that stretch from the city centre down to the estuary.

London remains the UK’s second busiest port, handling over 40 million tonnes of cargo, and in terms of port operations and developments on the Thames, 2012 was also a remarkable twelve months.

The year began with unexpected challenges, including the closure of the Petroplus refinery at Coryton and a major fire at Tilbury Power Station. But these events have been balanced by significant reasons for optimism, including rapid progress in the construction of DP World’s London Gateway container terminal, the anouncement of plans to develop an important new fuel import terminal at the Coryton site, and a series of major investments along the length of the river.

At the same time, the Thames, the UK’s biggest inland waterway, is increasingly being chosen as a congestion-free, environmentally friendly and reliable

INTRODUCTION

2012 LONDON’S YEAR

transport route for moving freight, including aggregates, construction materials and outsize and heavy cargoes, in and out of London.

The river has been central to the smooth running of Network Rail’s redevelopment of Blackfriars Station; huge precast units, cranes, steelwork, roof trusses, solar panels and even half a platform were brought upriver to Blackfriars by barge. Livett’s Launches, appointed by Balfour Beatty as principal marine services provider for the project, designed and built a bespoke mooring system to serve the site.

London is now gearing up for what will be some of Europe’s largest infrastructure developments; the Thames will provide a vital transport route for tunnelling spoil and construction materials for the £15 billion Crossrail project and for the Lea Tunnel and Tideway Tunnel, Thames Water’s major sewer project.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant was the culmination of two years of planning by the PLA. As we move into 2013, the PLA remains committed to serving all the users of the River Thames, whether commercial, leisure or ceremonial. Demands from the various cargo sectors can ebb and flow but the priorities remain the same: safety and efficiency on the river.

The PLA is proud of its flexibility in continuing to provide the very best, most professional services in every economic climate.

NEW INVESTMENT NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The Port of London is ever-changing, always moving on through constant improvement and regeneration.

London Gateway will be a new destination for all ships including the very largest container vessels.

New life also for Coryton, Dagenham, and new green power sources with the world’s largest off-shore wind farm and wood-burning Tilbury Power Station.

Discharging container handling cranes at London Gateway Port

The London 2012 party may be over, but don’t imagine that life on the river just goes ‘back to normal’…because the Thames is the lifeblood of a dynamic, ever-changing scene.

Along the length of the tidal river, record levels of investment by port, terminal and wharf operators are delivering new facilities and new business opportunities, while continuing to underpin the Port of London’s central role in thousands of critical, time-sensitive supply chains.

When it comes to headlines, London Gateway, DP World’s new deepwater container port and logistics park, is attracting huge interest from the shipping and logistics world. Due to open in the fourth quarter of 2013, it will offer a brand new destination for shippers looking to bring their cargoes into the heart of London and the South East.

The world’s largest container ships will be able to call at London Gateway, following the major dredging programme to deepen approach channels to the facility.

The PLA has continued to support the developers at London Gateway with its marine knowledge, services and experience, while ensuring the work does not interfere with day-to-day traffic flows and also acting as regulator overseeing the discharge of planning conditions on behalf of the Secretary of State.

growth opportunities and the ability to handle 100,000 dwt vessels. That means Shell and Greenergy can source imports of diesel, for example, on a much more worldwide scale. That will bring benefits to the Thames and the wider area.”

Converting a refinery into a storage terminal is far from an overnight exercise and the partners have been carrying out detailed inspections and planning in order to equip the facility with the tankage quality and flexibility it needs.

“Some tanks will be renovated and upgraded; others will come down. Eventually we will create a state-of-the-art facility,” says Ian Cochrane.

Physical work will start on site early in 2013, and the first ship could be alongside by the middle of the year. A complete range of fuel products will be handled, most for delivery to retail stations in the South East.

Stolthaven plans at Dagenham Major investment and expansion is on the way at the newly renamed Stolthaven Dagenham bulk liquid storage terminal.

Owner Stolthaven Terminals, part of the global Stolt-Nielsen group, operates an international network of terminals; the Dagenham site, acquired from TDG in 2012, represents its first move into the UK. “The terminal gives us a foothold in the UK market and will provide added support to the Stolt Tankers interEuropean coastal fleet,” says Walter

Wattenbergh, president of Stolthaven Terminals.

When Stolthaven took over, the Dagenham terminal had 195 tanks with total capacity of 134,000 cubic metres.

After detailed design and engineering work, its plans include effectively rebuilding more than half the site. Older tanks will be decommissioned, new tanks will be built and some others will be repositioned.

Unused warehouses will be demolished, and the land freed up by all the changes will then be used for an extension, with new tanks providing up to 80,000 cubic metres of additional storage capacity.

The terminal handles a range of bulk liquids, including fuels, chemicals, agricultural and food products. Capabilities include drumming services and intermediate bulk container filling, laboratory services, blending, dilution and product heating. A deepwater jetty receives vessels up to 9.3 metres draft.

Powering ahead Tilbury Power Station, converted in 2011 to become the world’s first 100% biomass-fuelled power station, was dealt a major blow in March 2012 when a fire took hold in two hoppers.

Owner RWE demonstrated its commitment to the facility by quickly repairing the damage; within three months the power station was generating again, with one unit, and by August it was fully operational once more.

The power station is burning a combination of wood pellets and tall oil, a by-product of wood pulp manufacture,

INVESTMENTS

New life for Coryton In September 2012, a consortium made up of Royal Vopak, Shell and Greenergy completed the acquisition of the Coryton oil refinery site from the administrators of former operator, Petroplus. Now the partners are moving forward with plans to create a state-of-the-art import terminal for oil products.

The 75-hectare site, at the mouth of the river, offers the perfect location for a large fuel import and storage facility, with excellent access from both sea and land.

The new Thames Oil Port, to be built and operated by Vopak, is being designed with a capacity of 500,000 cubic metres, with the option to expand to 1m cubic metres in a second phase. Initially it will be used solely by Shell and Greenergy, but longer term the facility will also serve third party customers.

Of course, the closure of the refinery after Petroplus went into administration and subsequent redundancies were a real blow for the local area in particular, says Ian Cochrane, managing director of Vopak Terminals UK. “But what we are going to do with this site is very exciting – and it is definitely a step in the right direction for fuel security in South East England.”

Between 200 and 250 jobs will be created during the construction phase; when up and running, the terminal will employ up to 70 people, and at least another 50 in ancillary jobs.

“For us, the major attraction of the site is that it has deepwater jetties,” says Ian Cochrane. “Although we have a thriving business at our Thurrock site, which has its own advantages given its location adjacent to the M25, Coryton offers us

to deliver 750 MW of green power. By burning biomass in place of coal, the facility is expected to reduce its CO2 emissions by 80% and also reduce SOx and NOx emissions.

However, this is only a time-limited trial, being carried out in advance of the power station’s next scheduled relicensing; under EU environmental regulations, while burning coal, it had been heading for closure in 2015.

Once the 8,000-hour trial has been completed, around mid-2013, definite decisions will be made regarding further investment at the site. RWE has applied for planning permission and submitted the formal application for relicensing the power station as a new biomass power plant.

“The trial so far has been technically very encouraging,” says station manager Nigel Staves. “If the RWE board decides to go ahead, a very substantial investment would add another 12 to 15 years of operation for the power station, after about two years of conversion work.”

Ferry ’cross the Thames The new £2.1 million Gravesend Town Pier Pontoon was officially opened in October 2012.

The pontoon was funded by the i-Transfer project through the European Interreg IVB North Sea Region programme and the European Regional Development Fund, as well as Kent County Council and Gravesham Borough Council. It is part of Gravesend’s Riverside and Heritage Quarters restoration and regeneration and linked to the Town Pier by a 45-metre gangway.

The i-Transfer project champions sustainable ferry links. Dr Martin Gibson, delivery director at the Institute for Sustainability, i-Transfer’s lead partner, said: “This splendid new landing stage will help secure the longer-term future of the Gravesend -Tilbury passenger service as well as allowing additional ferry services to be developed. Travelling by ferry is often quicker, cheaper, more reliable and more relaxing.”

In November, the Port of Tilbury confirmed a further £20,000 of support for the Gravesend -Tilbury ferry. This is the third year the port has provided financial support for the link, which is the last publicly accessible crossing before the Thames reaches the sea.

As many as 90 employees of the Port of Tilbury and its tenants use the ferry crossing each day to work at the port.

“We are pleased to support the ferry as part of our community programme,” says Perry Glading, chief operating officer of Forth Ports, which owns the Port of Tilbury. “The ferry provides a vital link for a number of employees on the south bank and also provides vital local connections.”

18 Port of London Handbook

Oikos investment The first phase of a £65 million investment programme at the Oikos Storage Terminal was completed mid-2012, including the rebuilding of Jetty 1 at a cost of £8 million to handle ships up to 50,000 dwt and 12.5 metres draft.

Other work at the bulk liquid storage terminal included replacing the entire on-site pipeline network, refurbishing or demolishing/rebuilding dozens of tanks, building a high-tech control room and refurbishing road-loading racks.

A second phase of investments at the Canvey Island site will start in 2013.

“Jetty 1 is now fit for purpose in terms of the right ship size,” says Oikos managing director Colin Horton. “We are now looking at Jetty 2 – another £8 million will be invested to bring it back

into service for ships up to 35,000 dwt.

All the geotechnical and structural analysis work is done and we expect to start work in spring 2013.”

The Oikos terminal, owned by the Australian financial services company Challenger, has signed up a number of major customers in recent months and is now handling millions of tonnes throughput.

“The advantages we have are deep water and connections to both UKOP and GPSS pipeline systems,” says Colin Horton. “Large ships are coming from further afield to deliver product to the terminal and we can then move large product parcels inland via the pipelines.”

INVESTMENTS

Port of Tilbury Development at the Port of Tilbury continues with significant investment in the newly integrated London Container Terminal and work about to start on the new London Distribution Park.

So far, £16 million has been invested in IT and supply chain facilities at the container terminal since Forth Ports took full ownership of the operation in early 2012. Fourteen new Kalmar straddle carriers are due for delivery in April 2013 and two new cranes to handle the shortsea business are also on order.

The new London Distribution Park will provide another 1 million sq ft of warehousing, with associated vehicle marshalling space, immediately to the north of the existing port estate. It is set to build on the portcentric model that meets customers’ needs, bringing further growth in port trade, jobs and economic activity.

Ford focus Ford has recently completed a year-long US$8 million jetty refurbishment at its Dagenham Jetty, which serves the Dagenham Engine Plant. The work was organised to allow services and operations to continue uninterrupted; about one million diesel engines are manufactured each year at the plant and the vast majority are shipped to Ford’s vehicle assembly plants in Europe.

“The decision to source a new engine at the plant and our new products that are being launched are positive news,” says Geoff Stuckey, Ford’s transport operations superintendent at the terminal.

The PLA actively manages vessel traffic around wind farms.

20 Port of London Handbook

INVESTMENTS

London Array In November 2012, Dong Energy, E.ON and Masdar announced that the world’s largest offshore wind farm, the 630 MW London Array, had produced its first power.

The London Array is located in the Thames estuary, within the PLA’s jurisdiction, and the PLA has continued to work closely with the developers on a number of levels.

Safety of navigation during the construction phase and once the wind turbines are all in place and operational has remained the priority. The PLA has monitored the effects of the wind turbines on shipping and its own operations, assisted and supported the developers in planning the installation, and ensured that shipping was not disrupted or endangered while cables were laid from the wind farm to the shore, crossing the main approach channel to the port.

“Awareness and monitoring goes on; the construction of the London Array continues and we will also be carefully monitoring work to extend the Kentish Flats wind farm,” says Chris McQueen, the PLA’s harbour master (lower).

“There are a lot of craft involved in the construction work on these sites and it is our responsibility to ensure that traffic flow to and from the port continues uninterrupted and in safety.”

There have been concerns about the impact of the turbines on ship’s radar and investigations into this issue continue.

THE PLA’S MEDAL WINNING PERFORMANCE In 2012 the eyes of the world were on London.

The Port of London Authority’s expertise was central to the great success of both the London Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

22 Port of London Handbook

The spectacular Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant in June, followed by the London Olympics and Paralympics, including their opening and closing ceremonies, drew on the expertise and experience of every department at the Port of London Authority (PLA).

The PLA was at the centre of years of planning for summer 2012, and from May onwards, leave was cancelled for more than 200 of its staff. Supporting these huge events while continuing to ensure safety and smooth day-to-day operations on the river, demanded real dedication, with many staff working double shifts or on their rest days to meet the additional demands.

On the day of the river pageant, more than 100 PLA staff stepped into an amazing range of duties – many of them out on the river as early as 5am for a ‘shift’ that stretched almost to midnight.

A few weeks later, the river was once again at the centre of the action for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and also welcomed a dozen tall ships for Sail Greenwich.

The Olympic Torch was escorted down the river from Teddington Lock to Stratford; the PLA assisted Livett’s Launches with the installation of the Olympic Rings – 25 metres wide and six

flotilla, and we had a river pilot driving the Royal Barge. But the majority of the work was preparation of the passage planning and the sheer amount of work to get it all together.”

Peter Steen was based in police headquarters in Lambeth on pageant day.

The river pilots brought more than 20 vessels into London for the Olympics, including the Royal Navy helicopter carrier HMS Ocean, tall ships, cruise vessels and super yachts.

Particularly, the river pilots planned the docking of the largest ship ever to enter West India Dock – the cruise ship Deutschland, which stayed for the Olympic fortnight and hosted German officials, athletes and guests. After a laser survey by the Canal & River Trust and a dummy run a year before, the vessel squeezed in with centimetres to spare, going in stern first and winched by rope because there was not enough room in the lock for tugs.

The harbour master From the ‘nerve centre’ of the PLA’s Thames Barrier navigation control centre, chief harbour master David Phillips oversaw and ran the Diamond Jubilee river pageant, an extraordinary spectacle which stretched eight miles from one end to the other. In the months leading up to the event, he led the huge task, through five separate work groups, of identifying and mitigating every possible risk.

Such was the detail that every vessel taking part knew which arch of every bridge they should pass under.

On the day, everything ran smoothly – apart from the weather, of course.

“This wasn’t something anyone had done before. It was only two or three days later that it began to sink in: we had really On the river done something special,” he says.

During the early stages of the Olympics, the PLA operated so-called ‘gatekeeper The pilots patrols’ at Richmond and Gravesend, to “The pilotage team gave a tremendous prevent an influx of leisure craft without amount of support to the pageant,” says Peter Steen, director of marine operations. “Some of the pilots were marshalls on the river, controlling the

moorings to go to. The message had been sent out widely and early – don’t come into the Thames if you don’t have a mooring. A voluntary ID scheme worked perfectly, with more than 1,400 craft signed up and displaying a coloured, numbered ticket showing their identity details and whether they were coming in, going through or resident. This system also informed the maritime security operation led by the police.

The PLA’s marine services team laid 400 special moorings in Barn Elms Reach in advance of the pageant – adding up to an extraordinary total of three miles of mooring chains installed. That had to be achieved in a very tight timeframe because the team had to wait until after the University Boat Race. The moorings were all laid between 7 April and the end of May. The bells Bennett’s Barges was just one of many companies on the river playing a crucial role in the Diamond Jubilee pageant.

The specially refitted tug Stephen B and barge Ursula Katherine underwent extensive redesign to carry the floating belfry containing the Jubilee Bells. The total weight of the frame and bells was 12.4 tons, with the largest bell – known as the Elizabeth Bell – alone weighing

Port of London Handbook 23

0.5 tonnes. Due to the height of the frame, 100 tonnes of ballast was required to keep the barge low enough in the water to clear London’s bridges.

The PLA’s marine services team at Denton Wharf had an important part to play here. The belfry was fully constructed offsite, then taken apart – the parts were numbered and transported to Denton, to be re-assembled and lifted on to the barge from the PLA’s jetty.

The passengers River passenger services, run by operators including Thames Clippers and City Cruises, were stepped up for the duration of the Olympics and Paralympics, bringing spectators to venues at Greenwich Park, North Greenwich Arena and the Royal Artillery Barracks. The PLA ran an extra harbour service launch in central London to monitor the additional passenger traffic and manage river traffic around vessels leaving/entering the Thames for enclosed docks.

Directing the traffic The PLA’s Vessel Traffic Services system monitored the entire Diamond Jubilee fleet from end to end. Some vessels had Thames AIS fitted – others did not, but all of the PLA’s vessels are AIS equipped.

“It was important to have real time information so we could respond very quickly when minor things happened, to prevent them from becoming significant problems – and the system worked perfectly,” says VTS manager Kevin Gregory.

“Based in our control room at the Thames Barrier, we were managing the pageant but also managing business as usual. The ability to have all of the agents involved, from Coastguard, ambulance and RNLI to fire, police and Royal protection, was essential to the safe running of the event.

“For the Olympics, we put in place an unprecedented security and navigational safety operation on the river. We took a huge interest in all the commercial traffic coming in, from the navigational safety and security perspectives – as well as in all leisure traffic going into the Olympics security zone.”

The PLA was able to provide the best facilities for a command and control centre where all the authorities could work together. “This really capitalised on our equipment and expertise,” says Kevin Gregory. “We created good contacts, all the organisations worked together well, and that is a great legacy. In any major event on the river, that control could be re-established again very quickly. We have created a blueprint for the future!”

The end game A wide variety of vessels, from large cruise ships to super yachts to tall ships, came into London for the Olympic period – including the cruise ships Gemini and Braemar, which berthed in Royal Docks, HMS Ocean at Greenwich Ship Tier, the cruise ship Deutschland and tall ship Stad Amsterdam, both in West India Dock, and the sailing ship Belem, at Tower Stairs Mooring.

Their arrivals were nicely spread over a period of about ten days, giving the PLA’s river pilots a busy but steady stream of work. Then, suddenly, as the event closed, everyone wanted to depart at the same time.

In one 24-hour period after the Olympic Games closing ceremony, the PLA river pilots carried out no fewer than 19 pilotage acts on two tides. It was a remarkable achievement.

Events on the river? Ask us early!

The tidal Thames that flows through the nation’s capital is a very busy and vibrant working river. Every day a wide variety of vessels of all types use it – from fast moving commuter craft and RIBs through to passenger tourist and party boats and tugs and barges. The river is also popular for recreational craft from canoes and rowing boats through to yachts, cabin cruisers and motorboats As the statutory navigation authority for the tidal Thames, the PLA has some heavy responsibilities to safeguard the safety of these many river users.

The river is also a fantastic backdrop for both event organisers and film and TV programme makers. It has featured in many iconic moments in TV and film, from dramatisations of Charles Dickens and on to Harry Potter and James Bond. It offers a rich diversity of possible locations: from the marshes and wide expanses of the Thames Estuary; the historic buildings and modern architectural icons of central London; and on to the tranquil river and towpaths of west London.

With the world spotlight on London in 2012 for the Olympic and Paralympic Games and with the celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the PLA had to work hard to balance the needs of

different river users with the aspirations of event organisers and broadcasters. From the Olympic torch to the Royal Barge, from the Olympic Rings to David Beckham carrying the flame, the PLA advised and assisted event organisers and film and TV producers to help ensure success.

As PLA chief executive Richard Everitt puts it: “The events of 2012 showcased that with the ‘can do’ attitude across the PLA and wider river community, the Thames is a place you can make things happen in London.”

The PLA’s team is ready to help advise with the ‘irregular’. A recent publicity event saw a 15 metre high bright yellow rubber duck travel down the Thames, passing the O2 and Canary Wharf, and under Tower Bridge. And why not? Every year the tidal Thames sees regular events such as the University Boat Race and the Barge Driving Match.

Reflecting on the river pageant, Lord Salisbury, chairman of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Foundation, paid a memorable tribute to the PLA when he said: “The PLA was legally our arbiter.

They have power over the tidal river and without their permission we could do nothing. Many such authorities would have folded their arms and thought of reasons to say no. To take such an attitude never occurred to the PLA.” So what are the messages to come out of this? That the PLA tries to see what can be achieved. The PLA isn’t looking for reasons to say no – but, just as was the case in 2012, finding a way to say yes can take time and a willingness by the organiser to take on board the advice they are given.

The safety of all river users remains central. One part of that is finding a way to allow special events to happen safely on the river. However, many last-minute requests come in from people and organisations who simply aren’t aware of the complex challenges involved with working on this busy and challenging tidal river, and that often ends in disappointment.

Event organisers and film makers need to be ready to be flexible about the date and time of day of an activity. They may also need to consider more appropriate locations for some activities and adjust their expectations accordingly. The PLA can provide constructive advice and help guide people through the requirements they need to meet in terms of safety plans and risk assessments for the necessary PLA permissions for filming and special events on the river.

The PLA message is: “Talk to us early, be clear in what you want, and be flexible”.

TURNING THE TIDE: WATERBORNE LOGISTICS The Thames is London’s vital artery for moving bulk materials and giant machines. Without it, the city’s roads would go into instant grid-lock.

Massive new transport links, including the £15 billion Crossrail, vast new sewer works and other major new infrastructure improvements now in progress would be impossible without the facilities of the Port of London.

The Thames is the UK’s busiest inland waterway for freight.

28 Port of London Handbook

and partnerships says: “An unparalleled number of major infrastructure projects are under way or planned within Greater London and the PLA has been at the forefront of efforts to secure the maximum benefits for river transport.”

Blackfriars led the way. Part of the Thameslink programme, this major redevelopment by Network Rail created the first railway station to straddle the river.

Huge precast units, cranes, steelwork, roof trusses, solar panels and even half a platform were brought upriver to the site by barge. Livett’s Launches, appointed by Balfour Beatty as principal marine services provider for the project, also designed and built a bespoke mooring system to serve the site.

Lea Tunnel The 7 km Lea Tunnel, the first stage of Thames Water’s vast Thames Tideway sewer project, is a bored tunnel from Beckton sewage treatment works to Abbey Mills. The PLA secured a planning condition which committed Thames Water to moving both spoil and building materials to and from the construction sites by water, including to nearby safeguarded wharves.

At the time of writing, nearly 115,000 tonnes of spoil had already been moved by river from Abbey Mills, via Bow Creek.

“This is the most intensive use of Bow Creek for freight since the 1960s,” says Jim Trimmer. “In all, more than 500,000 tonnes has been moved from Beckton Jetty to Mucking, where it is being put to

beneficial use for restoration of the former landfill site.

“In terms of aggregates, over 150,000 tonnes of additional volume has gone into nearby wharves as a result of the project.

We are seeing the fruits of partnership working with Thames Water – and both parties are seeing the benefits.”

Progress on the Lea Tunnel project has clearly demonstrated what the water can do… but as Jim Trimmer points out, this is minor compared with what’s to follow.

Thames Tideway Tunnel The £4.1 billion Tideway Tunnel sewer project involves boring a tunnel of 7 metres diameter running more than 20 km from Acton to Abbey Mills.

“As a scheme it will have a fundamental impact on the PLA and River Thames over the next ten years,” says Jim Trimmer. “We are working with the GLA, Transport for London and the boroughs to maximise the volumes of construction materials moved on the river.”

Thames Water is already committed to moving more than 4.3 million tonnes of spoil on the river; these movements are due to start in 2016 and continue through to 2022 and the PLA is considering what further materials could be transported by water for the project. The PLA is analysing the potential impact on navigation and hydrodynamics of this project. A formal application for the project is due in 2013.

Port of London Handbook 29

THE RIVER

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Thames lies at the centre of some of the largest engineering schemes ever seen in Europe – some already underway and others lined up for the next few years.

Consider the need, for the duration of these huge projects, to transport hundreds of thousands of tonnes of tunnelling spoil and demolition materials out of the capital.

Consider the need to bring massive tunnel boring machines, construction equipment, giant pieces of railway platform, tunnel lining sections, huge pieces of steel, thousands of tonnes of aggregates and building materials into the capital.

And, finally, consider the impact if all of this had to be moved on London’s roads.

Truck gridlock across the city, anyone?

It hardly bears thinking about.

The solution to all of this is the river.

For centuries, the River Thames has served as London’s vital artery and, in the 21st century, it’s impossible to overstate the crucial role the river plays in keeping heavy trucks off the capital’s roads.

Even in ‘ordinary’ times the river is used for the transport of more than two million tonnes of cargo a year, including aggregates, petroleum products, containers, household refuse and construction spoil.

But these are no ‘ordinary’ times. As Jim Trimmer, the PLA’s head of planning

Northern Line extension The construction of a new London Underground spur from Battersea to Clapham to will involve yet more tunnelling.

The PLA is in talks with Transport for London about moving materials in and out of the capital by river once again.

Question of skills Much higher volumes of cargoes moving by river will demand barges, tugs… and people.

“While all of the engineering challenges are being tackled, there are the logistics and skills challenges to be considered too. A big question is, where are the people and how are we going to train them?”

The Thames Training Alliance (TTA) was recently set up by key employers on the river, the Company of Watermen and Lightermen, the PLA and others. It is aiming to improve the basic safety and skills training for those crewing vessels, including tugs, barges and passenger boats, on the Thames, expanding this later to cover all facets of the marine industry on the river. There are plans to set up a training organisation and hopes of attracting government funding.

Crossrail’s two riverside sites at the mouth of the River Lea: all set for moving tunnelling spoil and building materials by water.

Port of London Handbook 31

THE RIVER

Crossrail Developers of the £15 billion Crossrail project are also committed to the water option for taking spoil out and construction materials in. The Crossrail route, which runs 118 km from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, will include 21 kms of twin tunnels under London – that’s 42 km of bored tunnels under London’s busy streets. Several key sites on the Thames are being used for the Crossrail logistics exercise.

In a process that started in July 2012, spoil is being shipped from the Docklands transfer station in Barking to Wallasea Island in Essex, where it is being put to beneficial use to create a new RSPB nature reserve. By the end of the year more than 60 ships had delivered spoil to the island on this route.

Early in December the first shipload of earth from the tunnelling work arrived at Wallasea Island via a transfer facility set up at Lafarge Cement’s terminal in Northfleet – where millions of pounds have been invested in reconnecting rail links and providing new sidings. In this route out, the spoil is moved by train from the Paddington tunnel and stockpiled at Northfleet to be taken out by river.

The excavated material from the eastern tunnel from Limmo to Farringdon has another route out, moving from Instone Wharf, where a connecting conveyor will load material from the bored tunnels on to ships for transport via Bow Creek to Wallasea Island.

“About 4.5 million tonnes of spoil is expected to be moved for the Crossrail project over four years, with approximately 1 million tonnes of tunnel segments for the eastern drive due to be transported from Chatham to Limmo by barge,” says Jim Trimmer.

Meeting the challenges The combination of all these major infrastructure projects will, of course, continue to generate increased demand for aggregates. “We are looking at more than 1 million additional tonnes of cargo a year for 10-11 years. These projects are involving all of the big aggregates operators on the river,” said Jim Trimmer.

As well as increasing cargo volumes, there is an added benefit here for the Port of London. “This will be highly visible freight traffic in central London,” he says.

“There are people who believe nothing happens in ports any more, probably because port operations are often ‘out of sight, out of mind’. But from the banks and bridges you will be able to see these shipments, along with all of the usual river traffic.

“It will remind people of just what the river can do as a vital means of transport.

At the same time, we must manage this increase and merge it with existing trades, passenger boats, ferries, and the day and night tides – 24 hours, throughout the years of these projects.”

The events of 2012 raised global awareness of London as the perfect cruise destination. The PLA, alongside major new investment, is making great things happen for cruise operators in London.

London, with its iconic landmarks and myriad of visitor attractions, excellent air links and easy access, offers the perfect package for the cruise industry, whether calling in for short visits and day excursions or completing full turnrounds at the start and finish of an itinerary.

The events of 2012 clearly raised global awareness of London as a destination, and the Port of London Authority has reported increased interest in the capital from both cruise operators and the super yacht sector. And there is an array of existing and future moorings for operators to choose between. Moor alongside HMS Belfast, after passing through the iconic Tower Bridge, mid-stream in sight of Greenwich historic Naval College and the Cutty Sark, at West India Dock in the shadow of the financial towers of Canary Wharf or alongside Tilbury’s London Cruise Terminal.

During 2012 London put down a mark of both capability and intent. Facilities along the river welcome everything from smaller super yachts to the 200 metre plus long Prinsendam. There’s investment in existing facilities and new ones planned for the future, all backed by the maritime expertise to make things happen for cruise vessel operators.

emigrating to Australia and the Commonwealth before the arrival of affordable air travel.

Both the landing stage and the buildings are Grade II listed for their historical significance by English Heritage.

During the winter of 2012/13, the Port of Tilbury has invested £2 million in replacing sections of the landing stage and upgrading the overall structure. Plans are being made for further major investments.

Richard Exley, harbour master marine and the Port of Tilbury’s cruise manager, says: “We are already taking bookings for 2014, and we are seeing an increasing interest in the terminal.

“We provide some real advantages for the cruise industry. Our location offers airports around the M25, all within an hour’s drive, which makes us ideal for the North American market, with passengers flying in to join a cruise. We offer easy access – to and from the port and central London – via the A13. And, in addition, our partnership with Thames Clippers has been a real success; from the ship’s side, passengers can board the Clipper and head upriver, arriving in central London in less than an hour.”

London Cruise Terminal handles vessels up to 350 metres long and with 10 metres draft. At present, the majority of cruise London Cruise Terminal calls are turnrounds – the terminal offers More than 40 cruise vessels called at the ample short and long stay parking, and Port of Tilbury’s London Cruise Terminal the facility and its team have gained an in 2012, and numbers are already running excellent reputation for service. ahead for the 2013 season, with bookings “We have handled the turnround of still being taken.

Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ Marco Polo, The Port of Tilbury has ambitious plans to step up activity at the historic terminal, which was built in the 1930s and was the departure point for thousands of Britons

800 guests each way (leaving and boarding), with luggage and all the stores, in six hours. We are looking for more turnrounds and also more day calls – we definitely think we can do more in the UK market, which has huge potential.”

The terminal is a real 365-day operation, too, with Christmas cruises heading south to the Canaries, for example, and other vessels heading for the Christmas markets in Bruges and elsewhere.

“Has there been increased interest in London because of 2012? Yes, we believe so,” says Richard Exley. “With operators facing significant fuel cost increases, coming into Tilbury can save four hours’ sailing upriver. From here, passengers can walk ashore, or the Thames Clipper can take them into London within the hour.”

West India Dock’s Olympic legacy Through the London Olympics, West India Dock (WID) was full with vessels including the German cruise ship, Danish royal yacht, superyacht and sailing ship.

For WID owners and managers, the Canal and River Trust, it was the culmination of a two-year project with vessel owners, charterers, ships masters and the PLA. And it has left a legacy according to Canal and River Trust’s Harbour and Water Space Manager Gareth Stephens, who said: “We’ve had great publicity and it has been a show-case for what WID can offer both the superyachts and the medium sized cruise ships. Because of 2012 we now have a Department for Transport

approved International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, which means we can now offer dockside security for those visiting vessels regulated by it.

“Coming here means that superyachts can host business and social functions using their own people and facilities, which are both up to their exacting requirements, with Canary wharf as a spectacular back-drop.

“London 2012 has also shown how WID can attract niche market cruise ships, which can hook up to fresh water and other facilities, enjoy all the benefits of dock-side road transport and nearby rail links – all right in the heart of town.”

Plans for Enderby Wharf Exciting plans for a new cruise terminal at Enderby Wharf, on the Royal Greenwich Peninsula, continued to progress during 2012; planning permission and listed building consent were granted in March 2012 and the legal review process was

completed in June. Construction is due to start in 2013 and the target is a 2014 opening.

West Properties planning director James Blakey, on behalf of the developer, says: “We have started the process of selecting an experienced terminal operator – we are looking for someone with detailed knowledge of the cruise industry, excellent contacts and a good understanding of how the River Thames works. We are looking to develop a high-quality destination for cruise in Royal Greenwich and within the heart of the global city which is London.”

The development will provide berthing for cruise ships up to 240 metres long and 8 metres draft, as well as a large hotel, 770 new homes and commercial and leisure facilities.

“We exhibited at Seatrade Miami for the third year in 2012 and will be attending various events again in 2013,” says James Blakey. “We also co-hosted, with Royal Greenwich, the Cruise Europe international conference in April 2012 – this was attended by about 100 delegates and was hugely successful. We have received some excellent feedback and

tremendous interest in the potential of Royal Greenwich and London as a cruise destination.

“We will continue to highlight what an extraordinary location is offered by Enderby Wharf – sailing through the Thames Barrier, under the cable car, past the O2 and Canary Wharf, and mooring at the Meridian Line in view of the famous Royal Greenwich world heritage site is truly remarkable. Enderby Wharf will be a cruise terminal at the centre of time, in the heart of a global city with an exceptional variety of cultural, historic and entertainment attractions.”

Enderby Wharf will serve a different market to the Port of Tilbury’s London Cruise Terminal, given the location of the terminals on the River Thames.

Tilbury played a vital part in the London Olympics and Paralympics.

The organising committee’s logistics hub was at the port, perfectly positioned on London’s doorstep for moving millions of items from boxing rings to sailing boats. Containers and bulk also make full use of Tilbury’s unique position and facilities, replacing expensive and polluting road transport on land.

‘Working with the Port of Tilbury has been a great experience. Their values and ways of working have contributed enormously to the success of the logistics programme and, in turn, the success of the Games.’

Mick Wright, head of logistics, London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).

In December 2012, the Port of Tilbury was presented with an Olympic torch

by LOCOG, in recognition of the crucial logistics role the port played during the 2012 Games.

Boxing rings, flat pack furniture for the athletes’ village, dumbbells, merchandising, table tennis balls, equestrian sand, boats for sailing umpires… in what was said to be the biggest peacetime logistics operation in the world, UPS, acting on behalf of LOCOG, was responsible for moving millions of items and pieces of equipment to the Olympic venues.

LOCOG’s main logistics centre was a 550,000 sq ft hub next to 46 Berth within the Port of Tilbury. Located just round the corner from the deepsea and shortsea operations of London Container Terminal and on London’s doorstep, with excellent connections by road or river, the site provided the perfect match for LOCOG’s needs.

Tilbury’s contribution to the success of the Olympics was a true reflection of what the port offers its customers every day in

terms of facilities, location and service.

“We try to be more than a port – we know our customers and we work with them to find the right solutions for their specific needs,” says Perry Glading, chief operating officer of Forth Ports, which owns the Port of Tilbury.

He adds: “We make connections – connections between our customers and connections between all the modes of transport. We are proud of our reputation as a green, expanding, multi-talented, flexible hub handling the widest possible range of cargoes. We are proud that our customers can be individual and different.”

In fact, 2012 was a remarkable year for Tilbury in more ways than one. At the start of the year, Forth Ports became the 100% owner of the former Tilbury Container Services (TCS) deepsea terminal, and the process of integrating this operation with the port’s shortsea terminal began at once.

As a result, the rebranded London Container Terminal provides a unique combination of deepsea and European shortsea trades all at the same facility.

“It’s the first of many connections we are making – joining supply chains, working with shipping lines through to

Grimaldi and Transfennica run well established services to and from Tilbury.

Port of London Handbook 39

PORT OF TILBURY

TILBURY: TRACK RECORD AND REPUTATION

retailers, bringing together logistics providers with our customer network, and ultimately connecting to portcentric warehousing within the Port of Tilbury and at our new London Distribution Park,” says Perry Glading.

London Container Terminal is the closest deepwater container port to London, and, with a throughput of more than 500,000 containers a year, it is the UK’s third largest container terminal by volume handled.

But that’s only part of the story. “We are in the business of knitting everything together. What’s in the box, where does it go, and what can we offer the clients here? If the route is right and the supply chain is right and we can offer the right type of warehousing, we know that shippers will choose Tilbury. Similarly, if we can help the shipping lines to maximise their assets, they will also make the choice.”

Tilbury has an established position as a distribution centre for the South East, he emphasises. “The facilities are here – the quays, the cranes, the workforce. We can offer options to take cargo straight through the port by road, rail or coastal vessel, or to store it here and distribute from the port.

“But portcentric logistics is about a lot more than providing stevedores, cranes and warehousing. It is about expertise and flexibility, and looking after the smaller shippers as well as the larger ones.

Customers at Tilbury are not lost in the crowd. We are still offering a really personal service.”

The 50/50 split Roughly half of Tilbury’s cargo throughput is containers – the other half is ‘everything else’, including roll-on/roll-off freight, with P&O Ferries operating a hugely successful link with Zeebrugge.

Bulks stood out during 2012 – the port handles a wide variety of grains, fertilisers and agricultural products, as well as cement and aggregates. Scrap volumes came close to a million tonnes in 2012 and the port handles a number of other recycled products, including ash brought downriver from the waste-toenergy plant at Belvedere and subsequently used for road building.

“Tilbury is very diverse – that is our strength,” says Perry Glading. “Take the big timber and plywood receivers – their cargoes are coming in by traditional breakbulk vessels and also coming in in containers. Few ports can offer both – but here you can receive breakbulk from China and Russia and boxes from South America and Europe, and combine it all at the same port. There is no fixed menu here – it’s very much mix, match and maximise.”

Why Tilbury?

London Container Terminal London Container Terminal offers...

1. 600 metres of riverside quay with a minimum depth of 13.5 metres and 575 metres of in-dock quay with 10.5 metres depth; 2. 1,400 reefer ground slots – this is the UK’s largest reefer container terminal and specialises in frozen and refrigerated cargoes, including Australian and New Zealand meat, butter, cheese and fruit; 3. The advantage of the Port of Tilbury’s very significant warehousing capability, offering portcentric logistics solutions;

the port already has 5 million sq ft of warehousing, and planning permission is in place to build another 1 million sq ft at the new London Distribution Park, north of the existing port estate.

And major investments will supply a whole lot more: 4. Tilbury, working in partnership with the Port of Bilbao in Spain, has been awarded a Motorways of the Sea grant by the European Commission’s TEN-T Executive Agency, in support of the ‘IBUK – Intermodal Corridor’ project. The grant will pay for redevelopment of the container terminal, including new cranes and straddle carriers, a new bespoke IT system and surfacing work.

5. The IBUK project aims to reduce congestion between the Iberian Peninsula

shortsea operations.

“We invested £16 million in IT and supply chain facilities at the container terminal during 2012 and we will continue to invest heavily,” says Perry Glading. “We have seen volumes grow year-on-year as shipping lines look to maximise Tilbury as a hub. We were delighted to become the first port in the UK to receive Motorways of the Sea funding – something that recognises Tilbury’s strategic importance and ability to encourage modal shift.”

PORT OF TILBURY

and the UK by shifting cargo away from trucks driving all the way through western and southern Europe, to the much more environmentally friendly option of shortsea shipping. The project’s estimated total cost is £25.2 million and Tilbury – the first port in the UK to be successful in securing TEN-T funding – has been awarded a £3.36 million grant.

6. The Port of Tilbury has ordered 14 new Kalmar straddle carriers, which are due for delivery in April 2013. Two new cranes to handle the shortsea business are on order, and a complete new terminal operating system is to be installed, with a new single gate system for both deepsea and

PORT OF TILBURY

Why Tilbury?

Maritime Transport Portside Logistics Centre Multimodal, flexible, customer-driven, portcentric solutions are at the heart of Portside Logistics Centre at the Port of Tilbury, where operator Maritime Transport (Maritime) has been rapidly expanding its activities.

Located on Fortress Distribution Park, the centre offers first-class rail and road connected cargo handling facilities, secure, port-centric warehousing, a multipurpose rail terminal, off-dock loaded container storage, the latest handling equipment and the largest carbonefficient fleet of trucks and trailers at the port. The logistics hub also offers the advantages of connecting with the

container terminal without having to use public roads, to handle and process overweight containers.

As a haulage operator, Maritime already had a major presence at the port when it first took over the operations of Tilbury’s common user rail terminal in 2010.

Tilbury Railport can handle two trains simultaneously and up to nine trains per day. Since then, the logistics hub has steadily expanded to capitalise on Tilbury’s excellent location close to the UK’s largest consumer market and the national motorway network via the M25.

“Being located at Tilbury offers excellent connectivity, with immediate access to the South East and the rest of the UK, by road and rail.” says Maritime’s business development director, Andrew McNab. “We have created a unique facility at the port to serve as a gateway and as a strategic hub in the South East for customers, with a wide range of supply chain solutions for inbound, outbound and domestic traffic.”

Although Maritime Transport is best known for its container transport

expertise, it is also working with the whole range of cargo types, making it a perfect match for the versatility of the Port of Tilbury.

“We are a very hands-on, highly flexible organisation and have the full range of specialist equipment, onsite at Tilbury, to handle containers, swap bodies and conventional cargo, having invested heavily in new equipment in the past 12 months,” says Andrew McNab. “We can take products from one transport unit to another for distribution; we can mix and match with goods already stored in our warehouse to consolidate loads; we can palletise goods for specific end-user needs; and we can deliver direct to distribution centre or store on a oneway basis too. For us, Portside Logistics Centre is about delivering practical, added-value services that take cost and complexity out of our customers’ supply chains.”

Freightliner - Rail Freightliner achieved a new record in Tilbury in September 2012, handling 481 containers in one day. The company owns and operates the rail freight facility and operates 16 daily import/export services from the port to eight destinations across the UK. Samskip Multimodal Container Logistics: flexibility The multimodal logistics provider Samskip uses Tilbury as a key hub in its network of European shortsea container services.

“What we find really positive is that Tilbury has been working hard on its portcentric logistics,” says route director Diederick Blom. “We are actively promoting portcentric towards our customers – of course it makes sense.

If you arrive with your cargo in that area, why would you then truck it all the way to the Midlands to distribute back from the Midlands to the South East? Definitely portcentric provides a good opportunity.”

Samskip saw a growth in volumes carried in 2012 and is looking for further expansion, says Diederick Blom. “We want to grow our business across the network and of course that includes Tilbury. We are definitely aiming for growth in 2013.”

P&O Ferries: ‘all about access to London’ P&O Ferries launched its TilburyZeebrugge freight service in July 2007.

Volumes have grown steadily ever since, with the company gradually increasing capacity by upgrading the ships on the route.

There are two large dedicated freight ships for the service. The 19,992 ton sister ships Norsky and Norstream each have capacity for 185 units/12 drivers. Between them, the vessels make ten round trips a week.

“Tilbury is the principal link for freight in and out of London and, by carefully considered fleet upgrades since starting our service, we’ve been able to grow

volumes and justify continued development, even in the difficult economic conditions, and this underlines the appeal of Tilbury’s location,” says P&O Ferries spokesman Brian Rees. “It is all about access to London, and the huge consumer market that is literally on the doorstep, the proximity of the M25 and also being rail connected. We look forward to continuing to build on the success of the service.”

London City Bond London City Bond has steadily expanded its operations at Tilbury since establishing a bonded warehouse there in the 1990s – and today it also has its headquarters at the port.

The north-south trades handled by London Container Terminal are a major driver in this and LCB is seeing increasing volumes of wine imported from the New World countries, says sales director David Hogg.

“The advantage of using Tilbury and having a bonded warehouse on the port is that clients’ containers can come in overweight with no restrictions because they are not going out on the public highway,” he says. “That makes a huge difference; if you can get a few more cases into the container, it pushes down the shipping cost per case. With margins so tight and the business so competitive, a few pennies can make all the difference.”

LCB provides bonded, secure warehousing and distribution of wine and beer for a wide range of customers, including supermarkets and retailers,

hotels, restaurants and catering businesses, and wine shops.

“Importers are using Tilbury and our facility as a springboard into Europe. They might ship a container here with the vast majority of the wine going into the UK; and if a customer in France or Germany wants a single pallet, it is much easier to organise for it to be moved from our warehouse by road across into mainland Europe rather than spending a fortune to send one pallet all the way from, say, New Zealand.”

Livett’s Launches - Water Livett’s Launches, a major operator on the Thames, has expanded east to make use of a common user berth within the Port of Tilbury. 26 Berth offers 60 metres of quay frontage and half an acre of quayside suitable for cranes and heavy vehicles.

The company uses the berth to serve special projects such as the 2012 Rings on the River, to facilitate marine engineering projects and provide other services.

Tilbury’s position on the Thames provides a major geographical advantage for transport to and out of London and the South East, says the company. Chris Livett, managing director, says: “This berth adds to the diversity of services provided by the company and will prove to be a much-needed asset for the Thames and central London.”

Wind Four wind turbines to be installed at the Port of Tilbury will generate about half of the energy needed to power the port.

“As Britain’s greenest port, it made sense for us to look into providing renewable energy from sustainable sources,” says Perry Glading. Construction work to lay the foundations for the turbine bases began in October, and the 126 metre high turbines are due to arrive at the port in early 2013.

LONDON GATEWAY OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN 2013 ‘‘London Gateway is quite amazing as a project. It is a huge testament to our engineering capability in this country – and it’s an engineering story that needs to be told.’

Richard Everitt, chief executive Port of London Authority

Imagine designing your ideal container port. What would it be like? Deep water, state-of-the-art quays, the largest container cranes in the world, the best terminal equipment, extensive yard space backed by specialist IT, a massive logistics park next door, excellent road and rail links…and a newly recruited team of people open to fresh ideas who are eager and passionate to deliver the highest level of customer services in the market.

All of this is being delivered in a brand new port facility on the Thames. In the fourth quarter of this year, after the extraordinary transformation of a brownfield former oil refinery site on the north bank of the river, the new London Gateway container port will open for business.

Port owner DP World had a major advantage when it embarked on the design and construction of the new London Gateway – it started with a blank piece of paper. That meant not having to make allowances for historic layouts and not having to work around any established or ‘traditional’ ways of operating.

The site’s location speaks for itself – at the heart of the country’s largest consumer market and just 10 miles from

the M25 motorway, with highly efficient road, rail and sea links, the port will offer customers a faster, cheaper and more environmentally friendly way to transport goods to their destination. A key message is that, as well as being on the doorstep of London and the South East, London Gateway is better placed to serve destinations much further afield.

“The whole proximity issue cannot be overstated,” says London Gateway commercial director Charles Meaby.

“The pure and simple fact is that we are closer to London, Birmingham and Manchester than many other port locations. We are linked to an eight-lane highway to the north, south, east and west and our location will reduce delivery times, haulage costs, fuel consumption and carbon emissions.”

The construction of London Gateway has been a breathtaking task, including the dredging of some 27 million cubic metres of material to provide access for the world’s largest ships, a major land reclamation that has taken the new port land 400 metres out into the water and the creation of berths, container yard and logistics park, with all of the associated equipment and infrastructure.

In December 2012, all eyes were on London Gateway as the port welcomed its very first ship – the Wieniawski, delivering four automatic stacking cranes

from China. This was the first batch of an extensive range of new terminal equipment built for London Gateway, including the first five super post-panamax quay cranes, for delivery during March and April 2013.

The £1.5 billion London Gateway is the largest development within the Port of London for more than a century; when complete, it will have 2,700 metres of quay, six deepwater berths, depth alongside of 17 metres, 24 quay cranes and an annual capacity of 3.5 million teu.

The first phase will open with three deepwater berths.

Another unique opportunity within London Gateway is the parallel development of a nine million square foot warehousing and logistics park, providing portside opportunities for warehousing, distribution and added value activities.

The development will underline the Port of London’s historic importance at the heart of UK trade, says Charles Meaby.

reliability, says DP World. The automated cranes will operate consistently throughout the working day and night. The stacking areas for containers will have dedicated landside and quayside equipment, which means that road vehicles will always have equipment dedicated to their needs.

Of course, your equipment is only as good as the people operating it – and in 2012 DP World embarked on a massive recruitment exercise, with the emphasis on aptitude and passion rather than purely academic qualifications.

“There was a phenomenal amount of interest when we held our jobs fair in July 2012, with more than 1,500 people coming along to register their interest in the wide mix of jobs on offer, from lashers and quay crane drivers to mechanics and IT professionals,” says London Gateway human resources manager Victoria Tobin.

“We continue to seek the people most driven to complete the job. If the person is right, we are happy to take them with minimal qualifications and train them up.

In our view, attitude is more important than qualifications – we are not just

taking people with a PhD and 20 years’ experience. We are looking to increase diversity among our port employees to ensure we have a mix of opinions, ideas and thoughts – we want fresh people and fresh ideas across the whole spectrum of roles.”

By December 2012 there were more than 70 people working onsite for DP World London Gateway, quay crane driver training had started, and every department, from HR to engineering, was fully established and growing. More than 1,500 construction workers have been on site building London Gateway and some truly impressive time lapse images can be seen on YouTube, showing the construction progress.

With steady recruitment in the months to come, London Gateway will have nearly 400 staff when it opens for business.

Road and rail DP World agreed, as part of its planning consent for London Gateway, to complete some specific road upgrades in the area.

Work has now started on the upgrading of the A13 Manorway junction, and a project to increase capacity at Junction 30 on the M25 motorway is due to start in the first quarter 2013.

In addition, the government has announced that £150 million will be spent on further improvements to Junction 30 within the next few years. “This is a massive contribution from central government to upgrade nationally important infrastructure,” says London Gateway CEO Simon Moore.

Rail will be well served as part of the London Gateway offering. Work includes double-tracking the port’s rail links, creating three terminals, two with six 750-metre-long rail sidings, and several of the logistics park buildings will accommodate private sidings.

DB Schenker Rail has announced that it will operate rail services from London Gateway to a range of inland terminals, starting with at least four services in and out daily, subject to volumes. It will also pursue the development of rail freight services from the port to mainland Europe, via the Channel Tunnel.

biggest specialised lift since the repaving of Denton’s inner quay was completed.

While the crane was onsite, it was also used for some other remarkable lifts out of the water – including a boat that would have exceeded the limit of the boat lift, and the old Shivering Sands buoy for scrapping.

Multi-tasking MMV order In one of the biggest single investments by the PLA in more than 20 years, a new mooring maintenance vessel (MMV) has been ordered from Manor Marine in Portland.

The £6 million MMV will take on the work currently performed by the salvage vessels Hookness and Crossness; these boats have definitely earned their retirement, having provided sterling service since they were purpose built for the PLA back in 1969!

The contract was signed early in 2012 and the new MMV is due for delivery in May 2014.

Measuring 36.5 metres in length and 13 metres wide, and fitted with two cranes, the MMV will be squat and shallow enough to negotiate bridges and mudbanks as far upriver as Richmond Lock and Weir, and robust enough to face the windswept waters of the estuary.

Operations in the outer estuary require the MMV to be classified as a seagoing ship – while the need to fit under the bridges in London restricts the air draught to just 6.4 metres, very low for a vessel of this size.

With a lift capacity of 120 tonnes, the MMV will be used for much of the PLA’s work on the river – laying buoys to mark navigation channels, placing moorings, hauling wreckage from the bottom of the river, removing old piles and anchors, loading/offloading machinery for salvage operations, and supporting dive operations.

It will also provide dredging facilities; a dredging plough is being built alongside the vessel. “Part of the vessel’s operational duties will be to carry out maintenance dredging where needed, reducing our need to bring in outside dredging contractors,” said Geoff Buckby. “We believe that this vessel, designed and fitted with all the latest technology and with its multi-tasking capability, will provide an excellent return on investment for the PLA.” During 2012, the PLA took delivery of Gunfleet, a small RIB, which was immediately in demand in support of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee pageant. This low-draft boat is another ‘multi-tasker’, being used for survey work, emergency callouts and other duties, providing easy access to wharves and jetties if required.

MARINE SERVICES

BACK STAGE SUPPORT

Day after day, the commercial and leisure users of the River Thames can always depend on the support of the PLA’s dedicated teams across a wide variety of disciplines.

The list is impressive: diving, salvage, mooring maintenance, underwater inspections, wharf services, boat lifting, load-out services, storage, driftwood and rubbish clearance, aids to navigation and pollution response are all the responsibility of the PLA’s marine services team, along the 95-mile stretch of the tidal Thames.

The organisation’s marine services are centralised and controlled from Marine House, a purpose-built operational support facility at Denton Wharf, near Gravesend. Here the PLA’s fleet of nearly 40 working vessels are maintained; a 70-tonne capacity boat lift is in frequent use for these and also the vessels of other operators and private owners. A 40-tonne boat mover means vessels can be moved around the Denton site.

With its loadout facilities and mobile crane, Denton Wharf also provides invaluable support for construction projects along the river.

A major investment to strengthen the quay wall and expand the boat storage and working area has increased the space for vessels coming in for maintenance work, short-term storage or load in/out.

“We support a variety of clients,” says Geoff Buckby, marine services manager.

“For example, private owners who have bought a boat and want to put it into the water for the first time; or who have sold a boat and need to take it out of the water to be delivered elsewhere.

“We have vessels brought into Denton Wharf for survey and repair work. We will jetwash the boat for the customer and then the customer may bring in contractors to do anti-fouling, maintenance and repair work. We supported the Navy, Royal Engineers and marines during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Games.

In the first part of 2012, Denton Wharf more than proved its capability for transferring large indivisible loads to and from the river. Two of the PLA’s river pontoons, regularly hired by ships and vessels moored in the river, were fully refurbished at Denton, ensuring they can remain in service for at least another 20 years.

The pontoons, weighing 39 tonnes, were then returned to the water using a hired in large mobile crane. This was the

Depending on Denton From Denton Wharf, the PLA continues to support one-off and ongoing projects: 1. Wreck clearance work continued through 2012 in support of the London Gateway development, with two contractors involved where required.

The PLA salvage craft and diving teams are expected to complete any remaining wreck clearance work in the first half of 2013. Other work in support of London Gateway has included loading out of monitoring buoys and supporting dredging works.

2. The marine services team is responsible for maintaining more than 60 aids to navigation, including buoys and the Central London bridge lights, and inspecting/maintaining more than 230 PLA moorings.

3. The team supports one-off events throughout every year – including, for example, laying temporary moorings for the University Boat Race.

Cleaner Thames The PLA’s driftwood crews are responsible for removing rubbish from the river, using the specialised craft Driftwood II and Driftwood III. The teams also regularly empty nine passive driftwood collectors placed along the river.

In fact, such has been the success of efforts to clean up (and keep clean) the Thames, that the demands on the driftwood vessels are reducing.

“There is not the same requirement to carry out the driftwood operations, because the river is becoming cleaner and cleaner,” said Geoff Buckby.

However, the vessels are adaptable, just like the rest of the marine services team, and can be used for other duties such as salvage and diving support.

As Geoff Buckby says: “This is the multi-functioning, multi-talented PLA!”

TAKING THE LEAD

New boats Two new pilot launches have been built for Estuary Services Ltd, which is jointly owned by the PLA. The Estuary Élan was delivered in June 2012 and the Estuary Élite is due for delivery in March 2013.

The ORC 17-metre fast pilot launches, ordered from Goodchild Marine in Great Yarmouth, feature innovative beak bows to enable them to cut through the water more easily in challenging conditions.

Their design also makes them quicker, quieter and more economical to run compared than their predecessors.

Both boats will operate from Ramsgate.

Pilotage Exemption Certificates (PECs) The PLA’s pilotage department is responsible for assessing Masters and mates for pilotage exemption certificates.

The officer applying for a PEC must undergo training and sit an examination in order to prove his or her skills and knowledge of the river.

The PEC system has been a topic under discussion at European Union level in recent months. However, Peter Steen emphasises: “The PEC system we have here is robust in ensuring that people are competent. Because of the dredging campaigns for London Gateway and the Crossrail spoil traffic, we have seen a slight increase in the number of PECs in the port – which demonstrates that we are open for business.

“However, we can’t over-state the benefits of having experienced pilots with in-depth local knowledge. Our pilots are aware of what is going on elsewhere in the river; they understand why another ship might make a particular manoeuvre at a certain point and will be prepared for that.”

Guiding some of the world’s largest ships to and from their berths on the Thames requires immense skill and detailed knowledge of the river, its depths, its tidal currents and, it has to be said, its quirks.

The PLA has a pool of more than 90 qualified pilots, all of whom hold an STCW Class 1 Master’s Certificate. Within that pool there are a number of specialist roles, including duty port controllers and 12 river pilots who have extensive knowledge of the bridges, jetties, piers and tidal characteristics of the upper Thames.

Pilotage is perhaps the most visible of all the services provided by the Port of London Authority. For the port’s customers, time is money. Ship owners and operators depend on an experienced and efficient service, one that combines safety with the absolute minimum of delay.

But the extraordinary demands of 2012, and the changing requirements that 2013 will bring also demonstrate something else – the need for flexibility.

“The Diamond Jubilee pageant and the Olympic Games demonstrated our ability to cope with peaks in demand,” says Peter Steen, director of marine operations. “The major infrastructure projects beginning in London, with their use of the river, are adding new demands.

“Petroplus closed the Coryton refinery and we had to reorganise some of our pilotage services as a result – but now we are looking forward to working with the new owners and operators of Thames Oil Port to be opened on the site.

“We have supported the dredgers working on the London Gateway development and are looking forward to receiving the first container ships at London Gateway in 2013. We are ramping up our training programme for pilots for the ultra large container ships and have done a lot of simulator runs.

DP World has used our simulator as well, to assess and plan marine operations at the new port.”

The PLA’s highly advanced ship bridge manoeuvring simulator, installed at Gravesend, has been upgraded again in the past year, with new features including a specific tug training element for pilots, part of the department’s continual improvement programme.

The simulator is used as a central part of pilotage operations, for routine and refresher training, as well as for planning; it is also invaluable for the PLA and also customers looking to assess the implications and viability of new berths or operational procedures.

The PLA offers a ship handling course on the simulator to third parties and amongst the users, a major ferry operator has chosen to put its junior officers through this training.

SAFE ARRIVALS

VTS

In today’s world of high-pressure, timesensitive supply chains, it’s vital that these keep moving and keep on schedule… but that’s something that doesn’t just ‘happen’.

The complexities of coordinating vessel arrivals and departures, berth availability, pilotage and towage, against the background of changing weather, significant tidal changes and constant activity on the busy River Thames, demand a slick system and an experienced team.

The PLA is responsible for overseeing all shipping movements throughout the 400 square miles of estuary and tidal river under its jurisdiction and Vessel

Traffic Services (VTS) is at the centre of the smooth running of port operations.

The events of 2012 ensured that VTS faced a year of extraordinary demands, including playing an instrumental role in the successful coordination of the Queens Diamond Jubilee River Pageant and the extensive maritime security operation for London 2012. But, alongside this, the system continued to benefit from ongoing investments while the PLA team gained important recognition for its VTS excellence and exceptionally high standards of VTS training.

New system, new functions A major upgrade of the PLA’s VTS system completed in 2011 delivered radical changes, adding more capability, functionality and flexibility.

“The upgrade has changed the way in which we operate in a number of ways,” says VTS manager Kevin Gregory.

“We have gone from a system that was focused on processing data and displaying information to one that supports the operators much more in their decision-making processes.

“The upgrade has provided a lot more background monitoring, so for the VTS

Port of London Handbook 57

operator looking after a large area, this helps them keep tabs on all the different vessels.”

The system upgrade, carried out in partnership with Signalis, was specifically designed to recognise the unique challenges of operating within the London area. “There is such a wide diversity on the river – we are challenging customers!” says Kevin Gregory.

During 2012 a new factor entered the equation: the Emirates Air Line cable car, which crosses the Thames to link Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks, was officially opened shortly before the Olympics.

“We have had to manage the impact of the new cable car on the river, in a similar process to the bridge restrictions in the city area,” he says. “It is another example of how diverse VTS is – not only are we dealing with general shipping traffic but we also have the interaction of vessels going through the flight path of London City Airport and underneath the cable car.”

The 2011 upgrade added the ability for operators to control closed circuit TV (CCTV) directly, presenting images onscreen and setting them to track targets automatically as required and in 2012 there was a further expansion in the PLA’s CCTV network on the river.

Passing it on The excellence of the PLA’s Vessel Traffic Services training has been further recognised, with the authority now accredited and approved to provide V103/1 VTS operator training to external clients.

The MCA had previously granted approval for the PLA to provide its VTS refresher training courses to third parties, following an in-depth audit of course content and training materials.

The new accreditation was granted in October 2012, and confirms the PLA as one of only three centres in the UK able to offer V103/1 training – the other two providers being colleges.

However, the training offered by the PLA includes a unique advantage in that it is delivered within and alongside the real thing.

“Our training is within a live VTS and the trainers are serving VTS professionals; we can be in the classroom running through a certain type of scenario and then go along to the real control roomor out on the river to see it in practice,” says VTS manager Kevin Gregory. “We also draw on other in-house managers – from the harbour master to safety management to corporate affairs, etc.

Being able to bring in all the PLA experts really adds value to the course.”

The PLA first invested in its sophisticated VTS simulator in 2002 and at that point the training side of its activities really began to take off.

“There are 44 in our department and all of them need training and development, 58 Port of London Handbook

Busy shipping scene in Gravesend Reach.

Never sitting back “We will never sit back and think VTS is ‘sorted’,” says Kevin Gregory. “We are always considering the next improvement or change.”

A number of equipment changes are planned in 2013, when the opening of London Gateway will bring a new set of challenges for managing commercial traffic in the river. This investment is likely to include installing more CCTV

cameras, as well as additional tidal data and weather sensors.

“The vessels expected to call at London Gateway will be very long and deep. We are going to have to manage their voyage in and out of the port very carefully – and here the VTS upgrade will really come into its own,” says Kevin Gregory.

There will also be new operational procedures, including restrictions on movements in the area where a very large container ship is swinging or moving.

“We have to consider other river users, so we will actively plan and manage river

traffic so every vessel can get to where they need to be as quickly as possible; it is our job to get them there efficiently and safely, and we simply can’t afford delays.”

The VTS team are equipped to identify possible conflicts, predict where there could be a risk of congestion, and work to resolve any potential problems.

and we wanted to own that,” he says.

“We decided to go the full way and offer courses to external customers as well.

“Previously, when we appointed someone new, we had to send them away to train – doing this in-house is a better solution for us. The feedback we have received from all parties has been very positive, remarking on our excellent standard and different approach to training.”

The V103/1 course features eight modules spread across two weeks of training and it is anticipated that the department will run this twice a year, or more if there is demand. The first V-103/2 VTS supervisor training course will take place during 2013 which will further draw on the PLA’s expertise in the management of VTS operations.

The refresher training runs over three days and is likely to be run at least four times a year. “We are already getting business from abroad for our training,” says Kevin Gregory. “We think that reflects that we are a unique training provider in what we can offer and what resources we can bring.”

Kevin Gregory, who took over as VTS manager in mid-2012, is himself an

illustration of the PLA’s successful focus on VTS training and development. After working for P&O’s container division and then ferries from 1996 to 2003, he joined the PLA as a VTS officer working in the Port Control Centre at Gravesend. From 2006 he served as VTS supervisor at the Thames Barrier Port Control Centre, and he was appointed deputy VTS manager in 2007.

“Because I have come up through the VTS ranks, I have seen how everything works on the operational level and how it all interacts,” he says. “I have been through all the challenges faced by the team sitting at the work station and know what they do on a daily basis.”

Thames AIS Six years ago, when the bespoke, local Thames AIS (Automatic Identification System) was introduced for small commercial craft on the River, there were some concerns among operators about the initial capital cost and potentially onerous operational requirements.

However, such has been the success of the Thames AIS in enhancing safety in the port that during 2012 it was extended as far as Margaretness for tugs and commercial vessels and Denton Wharf for all passenger vessels.

“From a situation where people were worried about it, we are now seeing

VTS

operators asking for an extension of the system,” says Kevin Gregory.

AIS was already compulsory for larger commercial shipping when the Thames system was developed, in direct response to recommendations from the Thames Safety Inquiry. Thames AIS is compulsory for all commercial vessels over 50 gt, commercial vessels over 40m in length, high speed craft, vessels carrying dangerous goods, and tugs engaged in towing or pushing, operating in central London. It features a geographical display and requires electronic reporting of passenger numbers on board – and, most importantly, it enables masters and skippers to be much more aware of other vessels in their immediate area.

Radar love The PLA now has three solid state coherent radars in place, at Charlton, Cliffe and Northfleet. A fourth is being installed at Blackwall Stairs and a fifth is planned for Margate.

“The change moving to solid state radars has been instantly noticeable, giving us much cleaner, higher definition images,” says Kevin Gregory. “These radars bring the advantage of lower running costs and longer life, as well as valuable flexibility to ensure navigational

safety and port security. They are a very flexible tool. We will be rolling them out across all of our radar sites over the next few years.”

PISCES and the Single Window The European Union has set a 2015 deadline for member states to implement national ‘Single Windows’ for the electronic submission of vessel, cargo and related information as ships make their way towards their port of call.

Fitting nicely into this is the Port of London Authority’s PISCES, the Port Information System for Coordinating End-to-End Services, introduced four years ago.

PISCES’ aim was to eliminate the confusing mix of phone calls, telex and fax messages, emails and texts used by customers to relay their requirements for pilotage and other marine services.

Agents log on to the PLA website, view current data, enter vessel details, pilot requirements, hazardous goods data and other information, and then submit a request.

This streamlined system has proved an overwhelming success, with at least 75% of all notifications now received through PISCES. “The push now is to bring on board the last agents, particularly as there are so many benefits to using the system,” says VTS manager Kevin Gregory. “Meanwhile,

we have been working to optimise and develop PISCES. Because of all the regulations, we are demanding a lot of information from agents and users – we feel it is important that we give information and data back, as well. So we have changed the system so it gives back information that can be useful to the user’s operations. We are also opening up PISCES to terminal operators and other service providers, and developing an AIS feed on to the website so these operators can see where vessels are in real time.”

Kevin Gregory is representing UK ports at the European level on the developing issues around the EU’s Single Window proposals. “We are keen on Directive 2010/65 because it mandates electronic reporting of vessel movements,” he says.

“So we want to get people on board PISCES now – before it becomes compulsory in 2015.”

SET TING THE STANDARDS

Every day of every year, regardless of major extra events such as the Olympics, the Port of London Authority is responsible for all the statutory and regulatory work that ensures that London remains one the safest and smoothest working river ports in the world.

62 Port of London Handbook

The closing ceremony of the Paralympics marked the end of a remarkable summer for the Port of London Authority. As one manager puts it: “Now it is back to focusing on the day-to-day.”

Of course, the reality is that the PLA continued with all of its day-to-day statutory responsibilities and regulatory work alongside all the demands of the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics.

One of the PLA’s statutory responsibilities as port authority is to develop and maintain an oil spill contingency plan – and the closure of Coryton, the last oil refinery on the river, means that this plan will be revisited.

“What you do and how you respond to an oil spill is based on risk management and traffic and trade in the port. There has been a fundamental shift in the profile of oil and pollutants being handled in the port in that we are not bringing in crude oil any more but bringing in more product,” says Julian Parkes, the PLA’s harbour master (safety management system) and port security officer.

“While clearly these cargoes can be a pollutant, the long-term risk is very different, because they dissipate and evaporate. Therefore the risk to the environment has changed.”

And while no crude means less risk, there are new challenges to consider. Very large container ships are expected to call at London Gateway – and these ships

carry several thousand tonnes of heavy fuel oil. “That brings its own set of risks to be managed,” says Julian Parkes. “Some fuel oil is more difficult to recover than crude because it tends to emulsify, turning into solid lumps.”

In recognition that the port’s oil spill risk profile has changed, the PLA has started working with other members of the Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association (TOSCA), to decide on any changes to set procedures in response to any spill.

TOSCA holds regular emergency exercises to ensure it is well prepared to respond to any oil-related pollution.

Managed by the PLA and based at Denton Wharf, it is on round-the-clock standby, ready to respond anywhere between Tower Bridge and Canvey Island.

Vessel licensing The PLA has been approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) to survey and inspect vessels under the Small Commercial Vessel Code – this applies to vessels under 24 metres going to sea.

“Our priority with vessel licensing is to meet our own statutory requirements – we survey and licence 600 vessels working within the port,” says Julian Parkes.

“This new authority means that our surveyors can survey any vessels (within the definition of the Code) both in the UK or worldwide on behalf of the MCA. It recognises the professional standing of our vessel licensing operations.

Thames Freight Standard When the UK Boatmasters’ Licence was developed ten years ago, the PLA was actively involved in the national working group tasked with developing the competency standards for inland vessels.

The working group was also due to develop the technical standards for newbuildings in this class but parliamentary time ran out and this aspect was shelved at the time.

Now the technical side – outlining construction, equipment, machinery, fire-fighting kit, emissions levels, etc., for tugs, barges, workboats and other inland vessels – is being looked at once again.

The majority of inland waterway vessels in the UK are based on the Thames, and the PLA already has powers through bylaws to inspect these.

Now it is working with the MCA to develop a technical operational standard which will be the basis for a good practice guide and standards of safety.

“This will bring into place for the first time a level playing field on technical standards for inland waterway vessels,” says Julian Parkes. “We have established a local working group and started consultations, and are addressing any concerns raised in feedback.

“By mid 2013 we will have that standard complete and will utilise it in our day-today inspections.”

The standard will be applied straight away for newbuildings – a transition period will be agreed for existing vessels which do not meet the standards set.

These days there’s nothing unusual in wanting to be green.

Every responsible company is looking to lower their carbon footprint and choose the environmentally responsible path wherever possible.

Wildlife habitats and trade side by side on the Thames.

Alternative energy The PLA has been in discussions with a number of companies interested in setting up ‘green’ energy projects based on tidal or wave power.

“We continue to try to support them but still have to apply some caution as this is a relatively new sector,” says Nicola Jenkins. “We need to be sure that projects based on capturing tidal energy, for example, have no impact on the wider river, port or navigation activities.’

Oil spill response The PLA operates the vessels and cleanup equipment under the Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association (TOSCA). This organisation is made up of the terminals handling oil and oil products on the river.

Oliver’s Ait Oliver’s Ait, a wooded mid-channel island owned by the PLA, is so-named because of a story that Oliver Cromwell once took refuge on it.

While there isn’t thought to be any truth in this, the island, one of nine in the upper reaches of the tidal Thames, does have an interesting history. It was the site of a tollbooth installed by the City of London’s navigation committee from the 18th century, and barges were built and repaired there. Having been assigned to the PLA in 1909, it was then used as a storage depot and wharf for derelict vessels.

More recently Oliver’s Ait has been dominated by mature trees, which provide a haven for nesting and roosting birds and bats, and it has been managed on the PLA’s behalf by the London Wildlife Trust.

However, the island was in need of some protection and management work to ensure the long-term future of the island and the habitat it provides.

The PLA has now completed some significant works, including reconstruction of the revetment wall, clearing unsafe and dying trees and general maintenance and improvement of the habitat.

ENVIRONMENT

THE RIGHT STEPS FOR A SMALLER FOOTPRINT

For the Port of London Authority, being green is a double challenge, as the PLA strives to: 1. Protect the natural environment of the river, which itself provides a diverse range of habitats, balancing this with the needs of the UK’s second busiest port.

2. Reduce the carbon footprint of its own operations – and that involves everything from reducing fuel consumption and emissions in the PLA’s marine and river-based services to saving paper and switching the lights off in the offices.

At the end of 2012, the PLA went through detailed recertification audits of all three management systems: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and OHSAS 18001(health and safety).

Recertification underlines the commitment of the PLA across the environmental spectrum but it’s important to add that a commitment like this goes far beyond the official bit of paper.

The PLA has set itself a target of reducing its carbon footprint by around a fifth compared to its 2005 performance, by 2020. This will be measured across buildings, launches, radar sites and every other operational area.

“We have been monitoring our carbon footprint closely and the progress has been good,” says Nicola Jenkins, the PLA’s environment manager. “Our efforts include major steps such as our plans to install solar power at Denton Wharf, but just as important is day-to-day awareness. We try to make everyone at the PLA more aware of what they are ordering and using, the heating and lighting they use, and the way the plan their travel to meetings and work.”

Protecting the natural environment of the river and estuary is part of the PLA’s statutory duties, and it continues to work closely with a number of bodies, including the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, as it strives to do this.

The PLA also works closely with the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), which was set up under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009.

The MMO has responsibility for licensing previously done by other organisations, such as the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), and for activities with new licensing requirements, such as maintenance dredging. With its wealth of Thames knowledge and established licensing systems, the PLA is a key partner for the MMO and operators on the river as the new systems bed in.

The PLA is actively engaged in discussions around DEFRA’s plans for setting up Marine Conservation Zones in English and Welsh coastal waters, including one on the Thames. With species and habitats along the Thames already well protected, questions persist around the benefits of additional regulation.

ANSWERING QUESTIONS IN DEPTH

How deep is the water? Has a storm shifted a sand bank or have tidal flows swept sediment into a berth?

Is there a wreck that needs monitoring or some new obstacle posing a risk to shipping?

Is some ‘rapid response’ dredging required?

PLA hydrographic survey vessel, Galloper.

high and low tide being as much as eight metres, there are points at which some vessels cannot get under the bridges in central London.

The hydrographic department not only serves the needs of the PLA’s own operations but also works closely with terminal managers and 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 has been particularly important throughout the major dredge for London Gateway. Buoys have been in place equipped with instruments to monitor the water quality and measure sediment levels around the clock; if the level of sediment rises above set limits, an alarm is set off and dredging operations are halted. “In any dredging process there is a certain amount of disturbance,” says port hydrographer John Pinder. “We have monitored this throughout.”

H Y D R O G RA P H I C

To the ships heading into and out of the Port of London – their operators quite rightly assume that everything is as it says on the charts.

Keeping a close watch on the river bed, monitoring any changes and, in short, answering the questions above is the responsibility of the Port of London Authority’s hydrographic department.

As conservancy authority, the PLA is responsible for a 95-mile stretch of the River Thames; that 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. A further 90 areas subject to greater change and consequently with higher navigational significance are surveyed much more frequently – as often as once a month in some cases.

In the naturally muddy Thames, where sediment build-up is literally so thick that a diver cannot see his hand in front of his face, being able to ‘see’ the river bed depends on state-of-the-art surveying equipment and a highly skilled team.

The river’s depths vary tremendously along its length and tidal forces and currents can create rapid build-up of sediment. And there’s another factor, too – height. With the variation between

Sediment study That’s why the PLA’s hydrographic and environmental teams are leading a working group looking at sediment movement on the river The working group, which also includes experts from international dredging companies, academics and other professionals in this field, is looking to ‘close the knowledge gap’ as to what happens to the sediments in the water, says John Pinder.

“There is a lot of maintenance dredging carried out in the river and where it used to be largely sucked up and disposed of at sea, now there is much more use of water injection dredging. One of the issues that arises is water quality and sediment levels. This project will look into the technologies available for monitoring sediment content. We are choosing particular sites adjacent to where there is dredging going on, where there is a specific development or where the foreshore is changing or there are other signs of change.”

He adds: “There have been site-specific studies in the past but we felt we needed to have a better understanding overall.

For example, are we seeing any higher levels of pollutants because we are better at sampling and analysing it, or because there is more, or because there has been some sort of event that has caused the pollution?”

Nicola Jenkins, the PLA’s environment and management systems manager, adds: “This project is aiming to identify high-risk points for navigational issues and habitats. It will help us to understand sediment movement between areas and have a better understanding also of what comes into the river via the estuary.

“Certainly there are concerns about the movement of sediment from certain sites but, instead of looking at the individual cases, we are seeking to look at the whole case with much more clarity.”

Small reports will be made on each phase of the study, building up a broad picture and useful set of data that can be applied for future developments.

“This will give us a good base line for our Dredging Framework revisions, our work with the Marine Management Organisation, and future work connected to the Thames Tideway Tunnel,” says Nicola Jenkins. “It is not a quick fix but the more we know the better. It will enable us to put site-specific issues into the wider river context.”

Conservancy manager A river conservancy manager is now working within the PLA’s hydrographic team. Alex Mortley stepped into this newly created post at the beginning of 2012 and acts as the intermediary between hydrographic, planning, environmental, harbour master and other departments, focusing on meeting the Authority’s conservancy duties, in particular on dredging issues, river works and engineering.

“The real responsibility of the PLA under the PLA Act is to conserve the river bed,” says hydographic manager John Pinder.

“Appointing a conservancy manager is in many ways going back to the earliest days of the Act, to make sure that the river is managed with all the influences there are.”

Alex Mortley, a graduate in oceanography and geology, will be in the position of ‘stepping back’ and taking a broader view of the river, the conservancy issues and whether any specific action is needed in a particular case. He will analyse data and monitor changes in the river regime, and provide support and advice for those considering developments in the river.

The hydrographic team includes surveyors, a tidal manager, a Geographical Information System (GIS) manager, an oceanographer and an administration assistant.

In recent years the PLA’s hydrographic capability has benefited from some really significant investment. This included the delivery of the Galloper, a catamaran which gives surveyors access to parts of the river too shallow for larger craft to reach. The 7.9 metre vessel is equipped with a high-resolution multibeam echo-sounder (MBES), which provides for highly accurate surveys of the river bed and associated structures. Galloper works alongside the survey vessels Verifier and Yantlet.

Improving the way images are captured is always an ongoing consideration, and this includes trials with survey-laser systems to survey major structures above the water. The images captured can be merged with bathymetric images to create a very detailed ‘above and below water’ image of anything from bridges to pipelines.

PLA’s hydrographic surveys cover dock entrances, sunken vessels, bridge footings in central London and foreshore scans.

Ford Motor Company About one million diesel engines are manufactured each year at Ford’s Dagenham Engine Plant.

The vast majority are shipped from Ford’s Dagenham jetty to the company’s vehicle assembly plants throughout Europe.

To support power train and vehicle manufacture, the Dagenham Jetty handles 60,000 trailer movements per year between the UK and continental Europe. In addition to freight, more than 280,000 finished Ford vehicles are imported, with a further 10,000 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles exported to Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Volumes increased in 2012 compared to previous years.

On behalf of Ford, Cobelfret operates vessels on the Dagenham /Vlissingen service, with two arrivals into Dagenham per day. In August 2012 a larger vessel was added into the loop, providing greater capacity and more flexibility. As well as handling Ford’s own business, the Dagenham jetty moves third party business. Trailers are shipped for a variety of customers, as Cobelfret and Ford look to maximise both shipping and port operations.

Ford has recently completed a year-long US$8 million jetty refurbishment at the terminal. The work has been organised to allow services and operations to continue uninterrupted.

Although Ford operates its own in-house freight forwarding department, it remains committed to seeking additional third party freight business and any opportunity to export finished vehicles to the continent for other UK-based manufacturers.

Kimberly-Clark Kimberly-Clark imports wood pulp for its own use and for third parties through the Northfleet Terminal near Gravesend.

About 75,000 tonnes of wood pulp is imported through the facility each year for processing into paper products at Kimberly-Clark’s adjacent Northfleet Mill manufacturing plant, which produces Andrex bathroom tissue. Another 5,000 tonnes of pulp were handled for third-party customers and enquiries for third-party handling are always welcomed.

The Northfleet Terminal is equipped for speedy and efficient discharge of pulp. A pulp barn offers 5,000 cubic metres of undercover storage and there is additional yard storage capacity for up to another 5,000 tonnes.

Having successfully handled some third party shipments of aggregates in the past two years, the terminal is looking to attract moderate amounts of additional third party cargoes. The terminal also provides short-term layby facilities for third party vessels.

LIQUID BULKS

Calor Gas Terminal The Calor Gas Terminal on Canvey Island handles a throughput of circa 90,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) a year. The Canvey Terminal plays a major role in the success of Calor as the leading distributor of LPG. It has a dedicated jetty, which allows for refrigerated LPG imports from VLGCs of up to 200 metres loa, with the product being stored in eight separate insulated tanks at -43 degrees centigrade.

LPG imports are distributed inland by road tanker and via a 17-kilometre LPG pipeline that connects the Canvey Terminal to Calor’s Coryton Filling Plant, giving an important environmental advantage by reducing the number of road tanker movements in and out of the terminal.

Some LPG is re-exported by ship via pressurised LPG carriers to many European countries, ranging from the Canary Islands to Poland.

The Canvey Terminal helps to ensure the continuity of supply to Calor’s UK customers and its strategic location provides Calor with access to a network of worldwide LPG suppliers. The terminal also plays a key role in the international storage and supply strategies of Calor’s parent company, SHV, which operates LPG business throughout Europe, Asia and South America.

LIQUID BULKS

Oikos Storage Ltd Oikos Storage Ltd is a bulk liquid storage terminal strategically sited on Canvey Island at the mouth of the Thames estuary. At this prime location, the Oikos Storage Terminal is unique in the UK in having access to both the Government Pipeline and Storage System (GPSS) and the UK Oil Pipeline System (UKOP), allowing aviation fuel and road fuels to be pumped directly into both the civilian and military systems.

A top tier COMAH site, the Oikos terminal handles the full range of liquid bulks, including aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, other petroleum products and chemicals. 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 and 12.5 metres draft.

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

A second phase of investments will start in 2013.

Owned by the Australian financial services company Challenger, Oikos terminal has signed up a number of major customers in recent months and is now handling millions of tonnes throughput.

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

Stolthaven Dagenham Acquired by the global StoltNielsen group in 2012, Stolthaven Dagenham handles a wide range of bulk liquids, including fuels, chemicals, agricultural and food products. Capabilities include drumming services and IBC filling, laboratory services, blending, dilution and product heating.

A deepwater jetty receives vessels up to 9.3 metres draft.

When Stolthaven took over, the terminal had 195 tanks with total capacity of 134,000 cubic metres.

In a major investment programme, the company will effectively rebuild more than half the site. Older tanks will be decommissioned, new tanks will be built and some others will be repositioned. Unused warehouses will be demolished.

All of these changes will free up land for a major extension, with new tanks providing up to 80,000 cubic metres of additional storage capacity.

The Dagenham terminal has benefited in recent years from new dock link roads to the A13, M25 and M11.

Aggregate Industries Aggregate Industries supplies and manufactures quarry products and building materials to the construction industry.

Employing thousands of people in the UK, northern Europe and the Channel Islands, Aggregate Industries recently became the first company in its sector to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard, and the first to be certified to BES 6001: The Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products, being rated ‘Excellent’ 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.

A ready-mixed concrete supplier through London Concrete (its Brentford-based business) the company has supplied construction projects such as the Shard, the Olympic Park, and Blackfriar’s Bridge.

A quarrying company, Aggregate Industries owns more than 80 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.

Bennett’s 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. The total weight of the frame and bells was 12.4 tonnes, with the largest bell –

known as the Elizabeth Bell – alone weighing 0.5 tonnes. Due to the height of the frame, 100 tonnes of ballast was required to keep the barge low enough in the water to clear London’s bridges.

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 energyefficient locomotives.

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

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

Brett Aggregates More than one million tonnes of sea-dredged aggregates from specific areas of the North Sea, the mid-Channel and off the southern UK coast around the Isle of Wight are landed each year at Alpha Jetty, Brett Aggregates’ main terminal in the Port of London.

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

An on-site block-making plant utilises 25% of the terminal’s throughput to produce a number of products for Brett Landscaping and Building Products. Additional aggregate is landed and stored at Brett’s Northfleet facility before processing and onward transit to the construction industry.

CEMEX UK CEMEX is a global building materials solutions company with leading market positions in aggregates, cement and readymixed concrete. Its London terminals, including a plant at the Port of Tilbury, supply many major construction projects in South East England.

The company operates five wharves on the river. It supplies several of its concrete plants with aggregates by river barges, reducing lorry deliveries into central London by an estimated 2,000 a year.

Materials are supplied by barge to Cringle Wharf at Battersea and Comleys Wharf at Fulham for use in the on-site concrete plants, as well as to other CEMEX customers along the river, while Northfleet Wharf and Angerstein Wharf handle imports of sea-dredged aggregates from CEMEX UK Marine.

The CEMEX concrete products factory at Northfleet produces paving and concrete blocks. The dual purpose 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 boat 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 11 metres water depth and the ability to handle ships up to 30,000 tons. It is well positioned to take advantage of CEMEX UK’s extensive network of London wharfs and depots, all of which are connected by river and rail to further minimise emissions and relieve the pressure on congested roads.

The high-efficiency, low-energy facility is CEMEX’s first vertical

Hanson Hanson operates three facilities on the Thames – a marine wharf, asphalt plant and rail depot at Dagenham, a wharf and readymixed 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 Dagenham wharf increased during 2012 as the London construction market remained relatively buoyant despite the government’s spending cuts. Major projects such as Crossrail and London Gateway absorbed large quantities of construction aggregates and concrete and there were also a number of large commercial developments in and around the capital which helped to boost demand. Looking ahead to 2013, construction activity in London and the South East is expected to stay well ahead of the rest of the UK. 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 500,000 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 rock from the Mendips is imported into the Dagenham terminal to feed the site’s two asphalt plants, which make road surfacing materials for local roads, trunk routes and the motorway network. There is also a ready-mixed concrete plant on the site. 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 Chemicals Industrial Chemicals Limited has operated in the Thurrock area since 1976 and purchased its 80-acre site at the former West Thurrock Power Station 15 years ago.

The company employs over 250 people and handles in excess of one million tonnes of materials per annum, with sales of over 300,000 tonnes of finished materials and products.

Industrial Chemicals operates 20 chemical manufacturing plants throughout the UK and supplies products to the detergent, paper, water treatment and chemical industries on a global basis.

Investments in recent years at the jetty have included the installation of a Siwertell mobile screw unloader on the jetty for environmentally friendly discharge of bulk dry powder shipments. In addition, a rail-mounted travelling quay crane was commissioned to handle bulk, general and container cargoes. The crane has a lift capacity of 48 tonnes at 16 metres, and 16 tonnes at 25 metres.

Although West Thurrock Jetty saw a slight decrease in the volume of products handled across the jetty in 2012, the signs are extremely promising for the jetty in 2013, with several new commodities for in-house processing under consideration.

Stema Shipping (UK) Ltd Stema has three operations on the Thames handling sand, gravel and aggregates on the Thames: at Red Lion Wharf in Northfleet, at Victoria Deep, Blackwall, and at the Port of Tilbury. The company had a good year in 2012, with volumes up as it supplied aggregates to several major construction projects.

Red Lion Wharf, which is owned

by Stema, has a 220-metre jetty with depth alongside of 7 metres and six acres of open storage for imported aggregates. About 750,000 tonnes of sand, gravel and aggregates from Stema’s own quarries in Norway, and sand from Denmark, are imported through this facility. Of this, about 150,000 tonnes goes back out by barge, and the company is looking at ways of increasing this. Red Lion Wharf will be used for the import of arisings for Crossrail.

At Tilbury, Stema operates at 1 Berth, where it has 10.5 metres water depth and a 2.75 acre site. At present it handles about 300,000 tonnes at Tilbury.

Stema invested about ÂŁ95 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 selfdischarging 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.

DRY BULKS

Tarmac Ltd Tarmac has three terminals on the Thames, two at Charlton and one at Erith.

Murphy’s Wharf in Charlton is ideally placed to supply east and central London, being located on the south side of the River Thames near the Blackwall Tunnel. It is believed to be the largest marine aggregate terminal in Europe in terms of output, producing up to 1.8 million tonnes per year in recent years. The site is capable of operating 24/7 and is complemented by an onsite concrete plant which supplies readymix concrete into the local market.

Nearly half of all material sold from the facility is transported to customers by rail.

Investment continues at Murphy’s Wharf. During 2012, Tarmac spent £300,000 on improvements; in 2013, a new train loading facility and primary screens will be installed, at a cost of £1.2 million.

Riverside Wharf benefited from £200,000 of investment in 2011, and another £150,000 was invested in 2012. Throughput is about 70,000 tonnes. The site complements Mulberry Wharf asphalt plant in Belvedere particularly, providing flexibility for out-of-hours operations.

Pioneer Wharf, further downriver, is well placed to support Murphy’s Wharf and to supply Kent and south/east London markets. It handles about 230,000 tonnes annually.

Projects supplied with material from Tarmac’s wharves in the recent past have included the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, particularly for the new terminus at Kings Cross/St Pancras, the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal Football Club, Canary Wharf, the Millennium Dome, the Crossrail development and ongoing works at Heathrow Airport.

PORT OF TILBURY

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

It is the UK’s No 1 port for importation of Forest Products, the third largest UK Container Port and is also the UK’s largest Grain Terminal.

The port handles 16million tonnes of cargo per year.

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

With it’s own dedicated Crown Police Force, the port has full International Security (ISPS) compliance. Following a change to EU legislation in 2012, Freeport status has been withdrawn across the UK. The Port of Tilbury now operates a Type A Customs Warehouse facility across a number of warehouses within the Conventional Department. This allows approved owners of forest products to defer payment of import duties, VAT and EU levies.
