PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

Foreword London attracts business, it attracts investment, it attracts people, it’s the powerhouse of the UK economy. Serving London and the wider south east is the tidal Thames, home to the UK’s second largest and most diverse port.

The river Thames has driven the growth of the London economy for over 2000 years. And that’s not changing. Today we see investment along the river worth almost £2.5 billion, from new and extended terminals to new vessels and new piers.

Among the developments are the Port of Tilbury northern extension scheme, the new Cory Environmental waste to energy plant at Belvedere and the refurbishment of the OIKOS oil products terminal. From late 2013, the new London Gateway container port scheme is set to open London up to the largest container ships currently being built.

In economies looking for growth, ports are increasingly the place to be.

And if you’re looking to grow your business what better place to be than on the Thames? Here you can benefit from direct access to the largest consumer market in the UK and unrivalled communications links by sea, road, rail and air.

If you’re looking to bring trade to London for the first time, expand your existing trades or use the river for moving goods within London, it’s time to talk to operators of terminals and vessels on the Thames. This Handbook gives you a great source of contacts, but if you want further guidance, give us a call. Our team of planners and harbour masters will put you in touch with the right people and work with you as you develop your scheme, whatever the cargo.

There’s never been a better time to come to London. We look forward to welcoming you.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

Undoubtedly, the world’s gaze will fall on London and the River Thames in 2012, as the countdown to the Games continues...

Spotlight on the Thames

Y

EAR AFTER YEAR, the River Thames threads its way through the lives, work and livelihood of millions of people.

It’s a river with many personalities: transporting millions of tonnes of freight, moving people for work and pleasure, providing iconic views for cruise passengers, and offering a wonderful environment for rowing and leisure boats and events such as the University Boat Race.

It’s a river that takes the pressure off London’s busy road network every day, as barge loads of rubbish go out and tonnes of aggregates come in, eliminating the need for thousands of heavy truck journeys in the capital.

This year – 2012 – will be the same, with a lot of added sparkle.

• As the Queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee in June, a flotilla of up to 1,000 boats will make its way from Putney to Tower Bridge.

• After years of anticipation and meticulous planning, the London Olympics will finally get under way in July. The Olympic torch will be transported on a floating stage from Hampton Court to Stratford, and the Games will begin.

Undoubtedly, the world’s gaze will fall on London and the River Thames in 2012. As the countdown to the Games continues, there are still many materials to be delivered to the Olympics venues and athletes’ village – everything from sports and timing equipment to energy drinks, food and sports kit.

The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) has established a major logistics base at the Port of Tilbury; the river is playing its part in the onward delivery of freight to the Olympic sites, and up to 8% of spectators are expected to travel to several of the venues by river, particularly Greenwich and the O2, Woolwich and Excel.

Meanwhile, hundreds of yachts and leisure craft are expected to make their way up the river and into the surrounding waterways, another issue that needs careful management.

introduction SPOTLIGHT ON THE THAMES

As ever, safety and security will be paramount for the Port of London Authority, which is involved in various forums around the Olympic Games, and maritime safety.

“Our focus is on ensuring that safety is maintained,” says Julian Parkes, the PLA’s harbour master (safety management system) and port security officer. “PLA leave has been restricted at key dates to ensure that we have resources to deal with the additional work; the Olympic Games and the Jubilee celebrations will be major events, but alongside these the work of the commercial port must continue uninterrupted.

Essentially, it is business as usual for us as an organisation, but it is going to be far busier – and we have to match that demand.”

In parallel to the headline events of 2012, the Thames is also playing a central role in a series of enormous infrastructure projects in the capital.

The Blackfriars station redevelopment has already demonstrated how the river can offer a low-carbon, lowcongestion transport solution, with demolition materials heading out, and steel, construction materials and even half a station platform coming in, all by barge.

The Lee Tunnel, the first stage of Thames Water’s huge investment in improving the water quality of the river, is also using the Thames as a primary transport route for spoil and building materials.

Next come the £15 billion Crossrail project and the Thames Tideway Tunnel, which will also rely heavily on the river for transporting spoil land construction materials.

The PLA has worked closely with the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), the government, the mayor of London and other bodies in preparing for 2012.

Emergency plans and procedures have been reviewed and a number of emergency exercises undertaken to ensure that everyone clearly understands their role and that in the case of any kind of emergency, the PLA’s response plans are resilient and up to date.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

Getting the message out ‘Plan ahead’ has been the message from the PLA to recreational boaters considering visiting London during the Olympics.

“We do not anticipate a huge increase in commercial traffic as a result of the Games – where the big difference will be the potential for visiting recreational craft, and we can’t be certain of numbers until they actually arrive,” says Julian Parkes.

“But we are expecting a large number of visiting craft and clearly, from a navigational safety perspective, we don’t want dozens of vessels bobbing about on the river with nowhere to go. Anybody coming into London at that time needs to make sure they have a safe berth to go to for the duration of their stay.”

The PLA has been busy licensing additional small craft moorings and has published a booklet showing where commercial operators could establish further temporary moorings. It has also been reviewing its systems for managing the extra traffic.

Leaflets and posters have been sent out to marinas, sailing clubs and similar locations around the UK and northwest Europe, emphasising that mooring and boating facilities are limited in ports, marinas and inland waterways on or near the Thames and giving the important message: “If you are planning to travel to the Thames in your own boat for the summer of 2012, you must make sure you have pre-booked and confirmed a mooring before you begin your journey.”

The PLA has also asked yacht clubs and marinas within the port to supply details of confirmed bookings, so that those who have booked can display formal identification on their boats. This will identify them as a visiting vessel with a confirmed mooring – an important part of a system of ‘Gatekeeper Patrols’ being set up to deal with any boats that arrive with no moorings booked.

“The Gatekeeper Patrols, who will use RIBs, will be able to identify visiting craft and check their ID; those without ID will be stopped and, if they don’t have any moorings, will be directed to anchorage,” says Julian Parkes. “If no mooring can be found, they will have to go elsewhere.”

A special resident’s ID will also be available for those who routinely keep their boats on the Thames, so that they are disturbed as little as possible by the PLA or police patrols.

introduction SPOTLIGHT ON THE THAMES

More moorings The PLA’s Marine Services team will be installing the equivalent of three miles of moorings over the stretch of river from Barn Elms to Tower Bridge ready to accommodate commercial and private vessels coming from across the Commonwealth to London for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant. The work will include installing 200 mooring points at Barn Elms.

Marine Services is also putting in additional moorings to accommodate emergency standby vessels during the Olympic Games.

Tall Ships Sail Greenwich also takes part at the time of the London Olympic Games. Sixteen tall ships will be based at Woolwich Ship Tier, where the PLA has installed additional moorings, and trips will be run upriver to the Tower.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

The Thames is by far the UK’s busiest inland waterway for freight, and it’s clear that volumes are set to increase dramatically.

Safeguarding and promoting a vital artery

T

HE SUCCESSFUL POLICY OF ‘SAFEGUARDING’ WHARVES FOR FREIGHT OPERATIONS IN LONDON has attracted interest from many other key waterways throughout Europe. And if anyone wonders why it’s so vital to protect these facilities, here are a few good reasons: • More than two million tonnes of cargoes, including aggregates, petroleum products, containers, household refuse and construction spoil, are carried up and down the Thames every year – just imagine putting all that on to London’s roads.

• Major developers have started using the river’s barges as a low-carbon, low-congestion way of taking demolition spoil out and bringing construction material in.

Network Rail’s major redevelopment of Blackfriars Station and Thames Water’s construction of the Lee Tunnel rely on the Thames as a primary transport route; • The Thames will play a central role in a series of other huge infrastructure projects, including the £15 billion Crossrail project and the Thames Tideway Tunnel. The alternative would be truck gridlock across the city.

• Aggregates volumes into London increased by over 25% in 2011; without the wharves, those volumes would come in anyway, but they would be transported by road.

• Companies revising their supply chain strategies are considering green, waterborne transport solutions. The Thames provides the route – and those solutions need landside facilities.

The Thames is by far the UK’s busiest inland waterway for freight, and it’s clear that volumes are set to increase dramatically.

Over the years, the PLA has worked closely with the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority to safeguard wharves for operational use, rather than allowing these sites to be used for waterside residential developments.

A total of 50 wharves along the length of the tidal Thames within Greater London have so far been formally safeguarded – but rather than keeping the status quo regardless, in 2011 the GLA, with the PLA’s support, carried out a review and update of the list, based on an independent forecast of supply and demand.

The review, which has gone out for consultation, split London into three sub-regions – West, South East and North East – and considered the cargo handling characteristics of each region. It also factored in the London Plan, which looks ahead to 2031, and the major infrastructure projects, ongoing and planned, and what effect they will have on demand.

As a result: • In the West sub-region, the review recommends that all safeguarded wharves remain protected; it predicted there would be more demand than supply for aggregates and waste; • In the South East sub-region, the review recommended releasing three safeguarded wharves and amending the boundaries of two others; it found an excess of supply over demand in all cargo categories; • In the North West sub-region, the review found

S a f e g u a r d i n g a n d P R O M O T I N G A V I TA L A R T E RY

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

more demand than supply for handling aggregates, but for other cargo categories there was an excess of supply over demand; it recommended releasing six wharves, including two in Bow Creek and one in Barking Creek, and recommended the safeguarding of Alexanders Wharf, reactivate five years ago and handling stainless steel scrapFeedback from the consultation exercise will be considered by the GLA early in 2012, before detailed recommendations are submitted to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

“Safeguarding has been in place for more than 15 years and is now firmly established as an important element of strategic planning in London,” says Jim Trimmer, the PLA’s head of planning and partnerships. “We can protect and we have protected wharves from inappropriate development; now we need to focus on the second stage, reactivating those that are lying vacant and underused. Although we will seek to work with landowners, Compulsory Purchase Orders will be used where necessary in order to ensure best use of these valuable assets.”

Back in Action The arrival of the Arklow Star at the newly built Conway’s Wharf jetty towards the end of 2011 marked the successful reactivation of another safeguarded wharf. The Arklow Star, delivering aggregates from Belfast, was the first ship to call at the former Erith Jetty since a major investment in the site

by Kent-based highways, maintenance and civil engineering company FM Conway.

Conway’s has invested £12 million to create one of the UK’s most modern asphalt recycling plants and build a new jetty. The site, which will handle up to 400,000 tonnes a year, is well placed to service the company’s road maintenance contracts throughout London and the South East.

The PLA is currently involved in two other major reactivation projects – at Peruvian Wharf, where Brett Aggregates is planning to start cargo handling operations, and at Orchard Wharf, where Aggregate Industries plans to handle over 500,000 tonnes of aggregate and cement annually.

“These are three very positive cases; with wharves lying vacant elsewhere, we are looking to increase the speed of reactivation,” says Jim Trimmer. “We are seeing continued and increasing demand from operators for wharfage inside and outside London. There is a real spur from the major construction projects in the city but there is also natural growth occurring. It is a fantastic opportunity to revitalise the capital and the waterway.”

Blackfriars leads by example

Lafarge Cement vision Lafarge Cement’s 42-hectare Northfleet site will play a key role in the Crossrail project, following a major investment in the reconnection of rail freight facilities to the main north Kent line (shown above).

The rail sidings are expected to be operational from mid February 2012 and Crossrail will be the first main user of the restored line. Excavated material from the western tunnel bore at Royal Oak, near Paddington, will be transported by train to Northfleet, for onward transportation by ship for beneficial reuse at the RSPB reserve at Wallasea Island.

Lafarge had already invested £15 million in the Northfleet site, and completion of the rail link will see this investment almost doubled. “The linkage of the site to the main line represents another important step in the regeneration and redevelopment of Northfleet embankment,” said a spokesman for the company.

Tideway Tunnel The Thames will be a major transport route for spoil from Thames Water’s Tideway Tunnel, a seven-metre diameter sewer which will run more than 20 kms from west to east London, broadly following the route of the river. The 7 km Lee Tunnel, which links into this and provides the first stage of Thames Water’s tunnelling project, is already well under way and will generate over 1.5 million tonnes of spoil, all of which will go out of London by water. This spoil is heading to the Mucking landfill site, for use in the final restoration there.

Additionally, substantial volumes of aggregates are already being transported on the river to nearby safeguarded wharves for the project.

The main Tideway Tunnel will generate million more tonnes of spoil, and the project will also require the import of considerable amounts of building materials.

“There is huge potential in the Tideway Tunnel, from Acton to Abbey Mills, for spoil to go out and materials to come in by river,” says Jim Trimmer. “This is a game-changer – it is very important. We are working with the Mayor and Transport for London to realise our ‘river first’ policy – to maximise the use of the river for sustainable transport and take vast numbers of HGV movements off London’s busy roads.”

S a f e g u a r d i n g a n d P R O M O T I N G A V I TA L A R T E RY

The River Thames has been vital in the smooth progress of the Blackfriars station redevelopment

by Network Rail (shown right). The first railway station to straddle the river, it is being built as part of the Thameslink programme.

Where the Blackfriars project has shown the way, other developers are following – instead of automatically using road transport to move demolition materials out and construction materials in, there is a genuine desire to choose more sustainable options and choose waterborne transport solutions wherever possible.

The developers behind the £15 billion Crossrail project signed a memorandum of understanding with the PLA to maximise the use of the Thames and the port in its construction.

At least 4.5 million tonnes of spoil from the tunnelling stages of the project will be moved out of the capital by river, while coming inwards the river will be vital for moving tunnel boring machines, pre-cast concrete segments, aggregates, cement, steel rails, cable, tiles, tools and equipment to sites along the new rail route.

In December 2011, Crossrail announced that it had awarded the contract to ship the excavated material out of the capital to a joint venture of BAM Nuttall and Van Oord. The first spoil will start coming out by river in 2012; it will be shipped to Wallasea Island, Essex, to create a new RSPB nature reserve.

Three riverside work sites will be used for the Crossrail project – Instone Wharf, where spoil will go out and concrete sections will come in; Barking Jetty, handling spoil going out; and Lafarge Cement’s Northfleet facility, handling spoil out.

London, the UK’s second largest port, offers a network of 70 terminals and wharf operations on the doorstep of the UK’s biggest consumer market....

Looking at London?

How can we help?

W

HY LONDON? Well, let’s start with location, efficiency, safety, choice, and a whole host of experts just waiting to help you create the perfect supply chain.

We can give you a long list of reasons why the Port of London is attracting attention, investment and new business; why shippers make London their priority call; why importers and exporters consistently choose from its wide variety of terminals; and why the river is the vital link in so many critical, time-sensitive supply chains.

London, the UK’s second largest port, offers a network of 70 terminals and wharf operations on the doorstep of the UK’s biggest consumer market, and it offers an incredible diversity of cargo handling: shortsea, deepsea, containerised, roll-on/roll-off, dry bulks, liquid bulks, raw materials, semifinished components, fast-moving consumer goods, cars, chemicals, crude oil, frozen food, fine wines … everything that goes to make up the quality of life of millions of people within the South East UK and beyond.

Of course London is busy; but everything will move up several gears in 2012. This year the River Thames will be the focal point for global attention, as the Queen celebrates her

Diamond Jubilee and then the London Olympics get under way.

The Diamond Jubilee River Pageant, on 3 June, will be one of the main events of the four-day weekend of celebrations. A flotilla of up to 1,000 vessels will sail along the Thames, headed by the Queen.

As London Mayor Boris Johnson told the BBC: “I cannot conceive of a more fitting celebration of Her Majesty’s 60 years on the throne than a majestic flotilla of vessels, large and small, winding their way along the iconic River Thames and showcasing our proud maritime history.”

A few weeks later, on 27 July, the Olympic torch will be transported on a floating stage from Hampton Court to the opening ceremony of the London Games.

The Olympics 2012 have been an important catalyst for investment and additional activity on the river, including City Cruises’ £3.75 million investment in a 600-seat river liner, LOCOG’s establishment of a massive import, warehouse and distribution centre at the Port of Tilbury, and terminals up and down the river handling construction materials and other requirements for the various Olympic venues.

But quite apart from the Olympics, the Port of London is attracting record levels of investment elsewhere, as ports, terminals and wharves upgrade and develop facilities to meet

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

the growing demands of the UK’s biggest market – in turn creating further economic growth and employment along the Thames.

The scale of new development along the river is unprecedented, with the value of investment projects just completed, under way or planned adding up to nearly £2.5 billion.

Port of London Authority chairman Dame Helen Alexander told guests at a parliamentary reception towards the end of 2011: “The river is sustaining a massive level of investment. This is long-term investment, creating good quality, skilled jobs.”

Key developments ongoing or completed include: • Port of Tilbury: Plans approved by the Secretary of State for the £120 million NEXT (Northern Expansion of Tilbury); • Cory Environmental: £570 million invested in a new energy from waste plant and tug fleet; • Vopak: £40 million project to provide a new jetty and terminal expansion; • Lafarge Cement: £15 million already invested in rail freight facilities at Northfleet, and that sum set to double in the coming year; • Transport for London: building a £1.5 million passenger pier extension at Tower Pier; • FM Conway: £12 million to provide a new asphalt plant and jetty at Erith; • Ford Motor Company: £5 million jetty refurbishment due for completion in June 2012.

Of course, that’s before we talk about DP World’s £1.5 billion London Gateway container port, now firmly scheduled for an official opening in 2013.

Underpinning it all, with expert pilotage, vessel traffic services, marine services, hydrographic surveying, diving, training and environmental services, is the PLA, which continues to invest in the infrastructure, equipment, hardware and software required to deliver the services that are vital to the smooth and efficient running of the port.

The long experience and in-depth knowledge of the PLA’s teams is unrivalled – and always available. The message to those considering their supply chain options for the capital is clear. If you want to do something in London, talk to the PLA. Its experts will find the partners to help you, the facility to best serve you, and the solution that is just right for your specific needs.

Green power at Tilbury The multi-million pound conversion of Tilbury Power Station (shown above) from coalfired to biomass is a world first – and attracting a huge amount of attention.

The power station is now 100% fuelled by a combination of wood pellets and Tall oil, which is a byproduct of wood pulp manufacture, to deliver 750 MW of green power.

“We stopped burning coal in March 2011 and started up with biomass on December 3,” says station manager Nigel Staves. “There have been part-conversions of power stations before but never a full biomass conversion. We are going to reduce our CO2 emissions by 80% and also reduce our SOx and NOx emissions. This is attracting a lot of interest, and the project will inform the whole of the RWE group in terms of technology and commercial issues.”

The power station, which first began operation in 1969, was heading for closure in 2015 under new EU environmental regulations. Now it has embarked on an 8,000-hour trial with biomass before its next scheduled relicensing – this time as a new biomass power station. If all goes well, the conversion will be official and further investment could follow.

Apart from the power station itself, the conversion work has included fitting two Vigan vacuum unloaders which move wood pellets at a rate of 500 tonnes/hour from the vessel and replaced the continuous ship unloaders (CSU) used for coal. However, no special storage will be provided until after the trial, and all the fuel is being delivered on a just-in-time basis. About 80% of the biomass will come from North America, and 20% from mainland Europe.

“In one year we expect to burn 2.5 million tonnes of wood pellets, which will come in shipments of about 45,000 tonnes, and 50,000 tonnes of Tall oil, delivered 5,000 tonnes at a time,” says Nigel Staves.

“The reason for converting to biomass is that it meets all the requirements to decarbonise the economy – and we are looking at reducing carbon across RWE.” The trial will take the power station through to the first quarter of 2013, during which time the company will check and analyse fuel quality, availability and routes.

Less than 2% ash will be produced and RWE is looking at opportunities to recycle this into fertiliser, for another sustainable solution.

Cruising at Enderby Floating in Docklands The UK’s only floating ready-mixed concrete plant is back in town and playing a major part in the development of East London’s former Docklands area while keeping hundreds of trucks off the city’s roads (shown above).

Moored at Wood Wharf in West India Docks, the Hanson plant is supplying up to 800 cubic metres a day of concrete to high-rise office and residential developments in the Canary Wharf business and finance centre.

Most of the deliveries are to projects within half a mile of the plant. Virtually all the aggregates are delivered by barge from Hanson’s Dagenham depot, significantly reducing the number of truck mixers and tippers on the busy local road network.

One of the first concrete producers to get a foothold at Canary Wharf more than 10 years ago, Hanson had a land-based plant initially, then moved it to a floating pontoon to make way for building work. The floating plant was towed away in 2004 after producing more than 600,000 cubic metres of concrete for high rise construction work.

However, when Hanson’s commercial team won further contracts to supply concrete to Canary Wharf, it was overhauled, refurbished and brought back into service.

Oikos transformation The Oikos Storage Terminal on Canvey Island is being transformed by a £50 million investment which includes a complete rebuild of the jetty, replacing the entire on-site pipeline network, refurbishing or demolishing/rebuilding dozens of tanks, building a high-tech control room and refurbishing road-loading racks.

The bulk liquid storage terminal, which is owned by the Australian financial services company Challenger, continued to operate, albeit at a reduced level, during more than two years of major construction work. At the start of 2012, with phase one of the work reaching its conclusion, the terminal was ‘winding up’ to full operational capacity again.

“We have refurbished about 300,000 cubic metres of storage tanks and created a state-of-the-art, computercontrolled terminal which will be one of the safest and most modern of its type in the UK and probably in Europe,” says Oikos managing director Colin Horton. “We have invested upwards of £50 million so far; now we are going into the second phase and looking for customers and prospective projects.

“This is a big site of 65 acres and there is great potential to invest in further state-of-the-art storage and continue upgrading the facility.”

Oikos has also benefited from the opening of a new road, Roscommon Way, which bypasses houses and makes 24/7 road-loading operations possible with no disruption for local residents. As a result, the terminal has refurbished the road-loading racks to the latest standards.

The development of a cruise teminal at Enderby Wharf on the Greenwich Peninsula has been given its final approval by London Mayor Boris Johnson. Greenwich Council had previously given its consent and is now finalising an agreement with the developer to enable preliminary works to start in the middle of 2012.

The cruise terminal is part of the first phase of a development which will also include a large hotel, 770 new homes, and commercial and leisure accommodation.

Also part of the plan is the refurbishment of the riverside Enderby House, a listed building which features in the classic novel Moby Dick.

West Properties planning director James Blakey, on behalf of the developer, says: “We have exhibited at Seatrade Miami for the past two years and also at the European cruise conference in Hamburg in 2011 and the response has been extremely encouraging. We have spent a significant amount of time presenting to and meeting the cruise industry and this has paid off, with a number of provisional calls already secured at Enderby Wharf.

“Greenwich Council and the Port of London Authority are two key delivery partners and both have devoted considerable energies to making the cruise terminal a reality. The tourism potential is huge and Enderby Wharf will add significantly to the vast array of cultural, historical and entertainment attractions in London and Greenwich.”

Enderby Wharf is well located for the cruise industry, being equidistant between the Greenwich Maritime World Heritage Site and the O2 complex, and within easy reach of the Jubilee Line, Docklands Light Railway, Maze Hill Railway Station and the Thames Clippers river bus service.

In 2009, research commissioned on behalf of the Mayor of London identified London as a must-see destination – but concluded that the lack of a purpose-built cruise terminal represented a significant missed opportunity. The research identified Enderby Wharf as the most viable site, thanks to its deep water, its location and the potential to deliver the terminal as part of a wider mixed-use regeneration scheme.

Deepsea, shortsea, containerised, conventional or challenging – Tilbury is unrivalled in the diversity of cargoes it handles.

What next for Tilbury?

A

S THE PORT OF TILBURY CELEBRATED ITS 125TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2011, of course this multimodal, multipurpose hub had a proud history to look back on.

But the focus was also very much on the future, as its Project NEXT first gained the support of the local planning committee and then, in November 2011, got the go-ahead from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.

Project NEXT is the name for the development of 30 hectares of land to the north of Tilbury’s existing port estate; it will be a critical part of the port’s future, as it expands to meet growing demand. As local Member of Parliament Jackie Doyle-Price said: “The Port of Tilbury is central to the local economy. I am pleased that in its 125th year, Tilbury is thriving and looking to the future.”

The NEXT development offers excellent opportunities for warehousing, logistics and haulage activities, enabling the port to expand its focus on multimodal, added value logistics solutions using road, rail and water connections.

Deepsea, shortsea, containerised, conventional or challenging – Tilbury is unrivalled in the diversity of cargoes it handles. And its location is unquestioned – right on the doorstep of London and within easy reach of the UK’s largest centre of population. Total throughput at the port was almost 14 million tonnes in 2011, an increase of about 2% on 2010.

Tilbury is the UK market leader for handling forest products and paper, the third largest port for containers, and the UK market leader for grain imports. It is also estimated to support a total of nearly 6,000 jobs in Thurrock, which is 10% of all employment in the borough. The NEXT development is expected to create more than 1,100 new jobs; adding value for a port that already provides a great deal of value.

While Tilbury offers diversity, it also offers a cohesive mix; its tenants and customers form a real network, working together and creating new business opportunities. And as the ‘southern link’ within its parent group Forth Ports, it can also offer customers a perfect north/south solution for serving the UK. “Every customer has a different story; as a port, we work with each customer individually to create the right solutions to meet their needs, with the focus on low-carbon supply chains,” says Perry Glading, chief operating officer of Forth Ports.

“But we are also proud of the real network of operations and

T i l b u r y W H AT N E X T F O R T I L B U RY ?

cross-pollination of ideas going on at Tilbury.”

Tilbury’s location can’t be bettered when it comes to developing port-centric solutions and the port is seeing increasing interest in this area, especially from customers whose leases in the Midlands ‘golden triangle’ of distribution centres are coming up for renewal.

“Customers and shippers are much more open to new ideas,” says Perry Glading. “They are asking themselves why they have a Midlands warehouse; but they don’t necessarily know how to go about making the changes. There is some very fragmented thinking, and we aim to help logistics operators untangle the logistics cobweb.”

Roughly speaking, half of Tilbury’s cargo volumes are containers – and there are significant opportunities to expand this. Early in 2012, Forth Ports, the owner of the Port of Tilbury, became the 100% owner of the former Tilbury Container Services (TCS) deepsea terminal; the plan now is to combine the deepsea facilities with the port’s Short Sea Container Terminal as one integrated facility, London Container Terminal.

“We believe we have a perfectly balanced portfolio, the best of all worlds,” says Perry Glading. “There are clear synergies between deepsea and shortsea containers, and though our coastal links with Grangemouth, also part of Forth Ports.”

Another unique feature of Tilbury is the high volume of business activities linked to recycling, including Cory Environmental and EMR’s scrap metal operation.

The Port of Tilbury has 125 tenants, ranging from Hyundai, importing more than 45,000 cars a year, to Grimaldi Line, operating services into the port from West Africa and South America, to CEMEX UK, operating a 1.2 million tonne capacity cement grinding and blending plant on the quayside.

Such variety gives long-term security of tenure and revenue and an incredibly broad base on which to build.

One relatively new arrival is the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), which has taken on 500,000 sq ft of warehousing at the port and also made Tilbury its logistics headquarters. The implications for major movements of cargo through the first half of 2012 are obvious.

Tilbury has more than 30 operational berths, 16 independent terminals, 7.5 kilometres of quay, over 500,000 square metres of warehousing, and significant storage space within a 325-hectare estate, not including NEXT.

Looking back 125 years • The East and West India Dock Company had the vision to build a new port well away from the London Docks.

The new Tilbury Deep Water Dock was opened by company chairman Mr Dobree in 1886. The first ship to call was the iron screw steamer Glenfruin, carrying the official party for the opening ceremony.

• Tilbury Docks was amalgamated with the London Docks when the Port of London Authority was formed in 1909.

• The first deepwater riverside berth was opened for Tilbury Container Services in 1978.

• The port was acquired by Forth Ports in 1995.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

Why Tilbury?

MacAndrews: a sustainable choice

Samskip Multimodal container logistics: flexibility

Tilbury is growing in importance as a strategic hub for shortsea container shipping line MacAndrews, which operates services from Spain and Poland into the port.

The Bilbao service calls twice a week at Tilbury on a Bilbao/Tilbury/Rotterdam/Bilbao rotation, using two 700 teu vessels, the Canopus J and the Dana Gothia. The Polish service, weekly to/from Gdynia, is operated by the 508 teu Dette G. Both services use Tilbury’s Short Sea Terminal, which is designed for time-sensitive European intermodal services.

MacAndrews has been using the Port of Tilbury since April 2009. The line’s general manager operations, John O’Sullivan, says: “It is important for us to get our vessels as close to the final destination as possible. Moving goods on water is the most economic and environmentally sustainable mode of transport and we aim to maximise that maritime leg without our network. This means Tilbury wins, with quick turnarounds and direct access to the largest population centre in the UK. The port’s position allows us to offer timed deliveries in the South East.”

The port’s flexible working procedures and reliable throughput has enabled MacAndrews to develop volumes – “and we have recommended the port to other services”, says John O’Sullivan.

“We aim to make Tilbury our hub and we are already transhipping cargo to Spain from Poland and vice versa. This hub effect will grow with additional services, whether operated by us or third parties.”

Tilbury is a key hub in Samskip’s network of European services, and the multimodal logistics provider is looking at ways to develop associated storage and distribution services direct from the port.

Samskip uses Tilbury to serve the southern part of the UK, as far north as the Midlands, and currently brings in four or five vessels a week from Rotterdam.

“As soon as the demand is there, we can increase this to six or seven if need be,” says route director Diederick Blom.

“We are constantly tuning our capacity to demand; we can be flexible and increase capacity when needed. For example, if there is demand for additional capacity to Tilbury based on the Olympic Games, we will react immediately.”

Samskip has an extensive European network of rail, barge and shipping services: “Through that network, we connect the UK with a large part of Europe – to Italy, the Czech Republic, Germany, Benelux and Scandinavia. We offer both door to door services for customers looking for transport between the UK and these countries, and also quay to quay services.”

The company tries to do as little transport by road as possible, always choosing other modes when it can. And it is looking to increase its operations at the port in order to provide sustainable supply chain solutions for customers.

“Working with Tilbury, we have asked ourselves the question: why would it be necessary to transport goods to the Midlands and then distribute them back to the South East of the UK? Wouldn’t it be much more efficient to distribute from the port entrance?

“We are getting very geared up to do that in cooperation with the port – and customers are reacting very positively.”

Samskip doesn’t necessarily have to operate its own warehousing, but can work with partners within the port community, says Diederick Blom: “There are facilities in Tilbury that we are using already and there are more possibilities there. Meanwhile, we are always looking at rail as an option, because we very much believe in multimodal transportation.”

Maritime Transport Road transport group Maritime Transport has a major presence at the Port of Tilbury – where its activities have expanded well beyond what might be considered its traditional sector.

In 2010, the company took over the operations of the port’s common user rail terminal and, in 2011, it opened a new logistics hub on the port’s Fortress Distribution Park, offering 100,000 sq ft of warehousing. The Portside Logistics Centre is directly connected to the Railport operation, to enable intermodal transport to and from Tilbury and throughout the UK. Maritime Transport already had a substantial container haulage operation at Tilbury, with more than 100 trucks based at the port. Railport can handle two trains simultaneously and up to nine trains a day.

“Taking on the rail terminal was a strategic move into a new area of business,” says managing director John Williams. “This has been followed by our move into warehousing; we see the development of port-centric solutions as very significant and we intend to be part of it. Whereas in the past we performed one element of the international supply chain, now we are looking at expanding along that supply chain, coming up with better, smarter solutions for our customers.”

Maritime is offering terminal shunting, transfer to/from trains, consolidation and deconsolidation of containers, cargo transhipment, palletising, temporary storage and delivery/collection throughout the UK. The logistics centre serves as an opportunity to handle a whole range of cargoes coming through the port, from building materials to fast-moving container goods.

“Our strategy is to diversify outside our core container business building on our roots in the international supply chain,” says John Williams. “We are looking to provide services where we can add value; we are building our infrastructure, network and capability to deliver those services too.”

Tilbury’s location is ‘excellent for serving London’, he says. “The road network from the A13 provides direct access to the M25 and other parts of the UK. The deepsea container terminal brings goods in from afar but Tilbury is not simply a single-product port; there are so many other activities going on.”

What next FOR TILBURY?

P&O Ferries: scope to expand P&O Ferries launched its Tilbury-Zeebrugge freight service in July 2007 and volumes have grown steadily ever since.

There are two large dedicated freight ships on the route – the sisterships Norking and Norqueen, each 17,884 gt with space for 145 units and cabins for 12 drivers. Between them the vessels make ten round trips a week and there is capacity for further growth.

“Location, location, location – it is all about access to London,” says P&O Ferries spokesman Brian Rees.

“Something like one-third of the UK’s consumer market is literally on the doorstep – and as for the rest, it is about proximity to the M25 and the port being rail connected for onward transportation. From the

Zeebrugge perspective, the addition of the service enables us to project Zeebrugge as a hub, aswe also sail from Zeebrugge to Hull and Teesport.”

Operating out of Tilbury has been ‘a very positive experience’, he adds. “We started small, gradually made fleet changes as the business grew to bigger and better ships, and have managed to grow volumes slowly but surely ever since we launched the service – which is quite an achievement when you consider the economic climate of the past few years.

“We see scope from such a prime location to develop feeder services for deepsea operators, and in time to continue to expand our service as the market requires.”

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

EMR: Good location Scrap metal dealer and processor EMR (European Metal Recycling) has been operational at the Port of Tilbury for 30 years. The company has a 12-acre site at Berths 13-20.

EMR has recently invested in two new cranes and two new loading shovels for the Tilbury operation, and continually invests in road haulage; it also makes use of some rail transport.

The quayside site handles all the shredded scrap produced by EMR’s state-of-the-art fragmentiser at nearby East Tilbury – the fragmentiser is the largest of its kind in the South East. The shredded metal is sold on to steel mills all over the world. In addition, other EMR depots in the South send compressed material to Tilbury for shipping to customers worldwide.

EMR also brings scrap into Tilbury by ship from UK and mainland European ports, for onward sales to the Far East and the United States.

“We chose Tilbury for a number of reasons, including the fact that it is a deepwater facility in a good location for scrap exports,” says Bob Garwood, EMR’s director southern region.

Milford Grain: recipe for success Millford Grain is responsible for pricing and organising the logistics of wheat imported from Canada by the leading bakery brand Warburtons Ltd – and, as Warburtons has increased its market penetration across the UK, its wheat volumes through Tilbury Grain Terminal have also grown. In 2011, Millford Grain imported over 90,000 tonnes of wheat through Tilbury.

Warburtons sources its wheat from the UK and Canada to ensure it has the right blend to make the highest quality products. Its Canadian wheat is shipped by Millford Grain out of Port Cartier, on the St Lawrence River; Tilbury is the import point for feeding millers across the South UK and those millers subsequently supply Warburtons’ bakeries.

“Tilbury is perfectly placed for the distribution of wheat to the millers in the South,” says Alistair Groves, managing director of Millford Grain. “We have always had a very good relationship with Tilbury – it is an excellent port and movement in and out is generally easy.”

Warburtons has doubled in size over the past decade and now has more than a dozen bakeries across the UK. Seven years ago it increased its geographical spread by opening its first bakery in the South East, at Enfield, enabling the business to grow its market share in the south of the UK.

What next FOR TILBURY?

“This growth in the south of the UK means that Milford Grain’s business through Tilbury has become increasingly important,” said Alistair Groves.

Millford Grain imports the wheat in 25,000-30,000 tonne shipments; it is stored at Tilbury Grain Terminal, ready to be allocated and distributed to the millers, guaranteeing the required stock levels between shipments.

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

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

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

LCB provides bonded, secure warehousing and distribution of wine and beer for a wide range of customers, including supermarkets and retailers, hotels, restaurants and catering businesses, and wine shops.

An interesting development is that LCB is dealing direct with an increasing number of New Zealand producers.

These smaller producers may ship part-container loads, or get together and share a container. “That is certainly a growing trend and they can make the most of the flexibility of different services into TCS,” says David Hogg.

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

LCB works closely with TCS on the movement of containers from one site to the other. The collection of containers from the quay and their return is a service which LCB can offer to both existing and new customers.

Westfal-Larsen Shipping: looking at opportunities Westfal-Larsen Shipping started calling at the Port of Tilbury in January 2010, when it started its monthly service from Asia.

It deploys specialised tonnage - open hatch gantry vessels, usually within 48,00055,000 dwt – on the service.

“Tilbury is one of the main ports for the import of plywood into the UK and is therefore an important port for us,” says Ann-Cristin Eggum, vice president chartering and operations at WestfalLarsen. “In addition to plywood, we occasionally have steel to the port, but this is very seldom. We are always looking at other cargo opportunities which can be accommodated by Tilbury.”

The logistics task includes taking responsibility for customs clearance, freight forwarding, courier services, the torch relay logistics, and even moving all the baggage for the athletes...

Let the Logistics begin!

I

T IS THE BIGGEST PEACETIME LOGISTICS OPERATION IN THE WORLD, and it involves everything from table tennis balls and time clocks to flat-pack furniture and boats; UPS expects to handle some 30 million inventory items, including one million pieces of sports equipment, as it manages nearly all the logistics needs of the London Olympics.

UPS is operating nearly one million square foot of warehousing on behalf of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and the main logistics centre for the task is a 550,000 sq ft hub within the Port of Tilbury.

“Imagine turning the Olympic stadium upside down and everything that falls out – apart from the people – is what we manage,” says Alan Williams, UPS director of London 2012 sponsorship and operations.

“LOCOG has insourced the Games Logistics to UPS, which means its people are embedded within LOCOG’s headquarters at Canary Wharf, as well as working alongside LOCOG’s logistics people at Tilbury and at a second logistics centre in Stevenage. The scale of the operation is huge; at the end of 2011, the joint logistics team numbered 200, but in 2012 this will increase to 1,100, including 900 UPS people.”

Being based at Tilbury gives obvious advantages.

LOCOG has taken on premises at 46 Berth, where there has been substantial investment in the multipurpose sheds and also in providing additional covered storage areas by the quay.

The deepsea berths of London Container Terminal (LCT) are just around the corner.

Part of UPS’s task is to handle the furniture for the athletes’ village, which will provide accommodation for up to 18,000 athletes, trainers and officials. That’s an awful lot of beds, wardrobes, chairs and other furniture, all of which will be imported as flat packs from Asia into LCT.

i nehttra ot d L W h ne uecL xt to i ogFni Os EtRiXcTPsIALbNBeSUgI R iOnYN! ? U AP N SD LI N OV C EOSGT M E N T

Since autumn 2011, UPS has had a team of 80 people working on the furniture alone; each piece is unpacked and assembled at Tilbury, then transported to the village and installed in the rooms. The task is expected to continue through to April 2012.

UPS has created a slick transport solution for the furniture, using 28 special demountable containers and just three tractor units. The containers each have 50 cubic metres capacity and because each tractor unit can carry two at a time, this enables the movement of 100 cubic metres per driver, and a very swift turnaround at each end.

From February 2012, UPS will also be looking to put some of the furniture on barges up to the village site. “The legacy we want to leave is that the Thames can be used as part of the supply chain,” says Alan Williams. “We are exploring the option of sending barges direct from Tilbury into wharves close to the North Greenwich Arena, and then covering the final four miles by road.”

The logistics task taken on by UPS includes taking responsibility for customs clearance, freight forwarding, courier services, the torch relay logistics, and even moving all the baggage for the athletes when they arrive in the country – an estimated quarter of a million pieces of luggage.

“Boxing rings, dumbbells, PCs, furniture, fixtures, merchandising – we bring it all in, store it in the warehouses and then move it into the venues using a dedicated fleet of 150 vehicles,” says Alan Williams. “It is the biggest logistics operation in the world – and the peaks and troughs make it even more of a challenge.”

And when the Games are over? ‘Reverse logistics’ will swing into action. At the athletes’ village, UPS will dismantle and repack the rented furniture for use elsewhere. And Alan Williams says the biggest peak in logistics activity will likely be in September, when the Paralympic Games are finished, and everything has to be moved out again.

The rebranded London Container Terminal provides a unique combination of deepsea and shortsea facilities on the very edge of London

Boxes stack up: London Container Terminal

A

change in ownership has brought a new name and new opportunities for deepsea container operations at the Port of Tilbury. In January 2012, the former Tilbury Container Services (TCS) was relaunched together with the Port of Tilbury’s Short Sea Container Terminal as London Container Terminal, both now under the 100% ownership of Forth Ports.

The change will enable Forth Ports (which previously held a one-third share of TCS) to combine deepsea and shortsea container facilities at the Port of Tilbury into one integrated operation.

Despite the tough economic climate, the deepsea facility still reported a 2.5% increase in throughput during 2011, handling about 320,000 containers. London Container Terminal’s key strengths undoubtedly helped: its position as the closest deepsea container terminal to London, its strong focus on north-south trades, its expertise in handling reefer cargoes, and the high volume of resilient commodities imported through the deepsea terminal. But that doesn’t mean it can take growth for granted.

Commercial manager James Leeson says: “We are proud of the fact that we sell a personalised and customer-oriented service. We genuinely think we are better at that than others – and we hope that our customers agree. We are always aware of the fact that our customers could make other choices.”

Last year’s volumes reflected growth ahead of average UK performance, he adds. “We turned in an increase despite difficult times. We are certainly not back at 2008 levels but we can be satisfied with our performance in the current climate.”

The short sea terminal had even more success in 2011, with volumes increasing by 7.5% to 145,000 boxes.

London Container Terminal’s deepsea operations offer 600 metres of riverside quay with minimum depth of 13.5 metres, and 575 metres of in-dock quay with 10.5 metres depth. The largest reefer terminal in the UK, it specialises in frozen and refrigerated cargoes, including Australian and New Zealand meat, and butter, cheese and fruit. It has clearly benefited from the general trend away from traditional reefer breakbulk shipments to transporting such cargoes in reefer boxes.

“Most of our trades are reefer dominated and South America continues to grow quite strongly,” says James

Leeson. “All the container lines on this route clearly have some extra focus on reefers, to different degrees; to some lines it is high priority but to others it is not quite as important. Some view it very much as an area to invest in to make themselves different – a bit like our own approach.”

London Container Terminal has 1,400 reefer ground slots and is considering putting in more reefer plugs.

Reefer exports are doing well, too – although these are small compared with imports. Products going out include chocolate, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and also, on occasions, works of art.

The deepsea terminal secured a number of new services in 2011, including the joint Hamburg Sud/CCNI weekly service linking the UK with Northern Europe, the Caribbean, Panama Canal, US West Coast and Vancouver.

“This is a successful and unusual trade, particularly as it gives the opportunity to pick up Californian imports into the UK including grapes and stone fruits,” says James Leeson. “It also offers (Chilean based) CCNI a hubbing connection through Colombia – so we have a new customer in CCNI, and new options.”

Another gain was Maersk’s Caribbean Reefer Express, a seasonal service particularly busy with bananas and pineapples, and the SAECS South African Reefer Express, with large volumes of citrus.

Meanwhile Delmas’ weekly Nigeria Express service, introduced in 2010, has continued despite the political problems of the Ivory Coast, a key market on that trade.

Banana and pineapple volumes from Ghana are growing in particular. “This is still a challenging trade to work on but overall we are happy with it – and it’s giving customers a good option for West Africa,” he says.

As well as the general trend towards reefer boxes, London Container Terminal is handling steadily increasing sizes of ships. Hamburg Sud is phasing in its 7,100 teu Santa class vessels on its East Coast South America service – these vessels feature shallow draft, wide beam and higher reefer capacity. Ships serving the Indian subcontinent are also getting larger. “It is all part of the global development, with larger ships cascading down from the East-West routes,” says James Leeson.

The deepsea facility also demonstrated its flexibility during 2011 by handling less routine vessels, including some Hyundai car carriers, in support of the Port of Tilbury.

London Gateway is the The ongoing transformation largest development within of the former oil refinery site theStanford-le-Hope Port of London for at is more than a century breathtaking.

Re-set the Sat Nav: there’s a whole new destination

W

HEN MEMBERS OF THE DP WORLD TEAM TAKE VISITORS AROUND THE LONDON GATEWAY SITE in the four-wheel drive, they like to keep the Sat Nav switched on. It’s a great way of demonstrating the scale of this new deepwater container port; Sat Nav hasn’t caught up with the reclamation, and visitors can view the vehicle leaving dry land behind and driving 400 metres out into the water.

The London Gateway port and logistics park is rapidly taking shape and DP World has confirmed that it will open for business in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The ongoing transformation of the former oil refinery site at Stanford-le-Hope is breathtaking. By the end of 2011, the operation to dredge some 25 million cubic metres of material was more than halfway completed. The dredge will allow the world’s largest ships access to the port – the dredged material is being used to create the six berths and raise the land of the logistics park.

The project requires the land to be raised by two metres for flood protection reasons. To assist in the ground compaction, thousands of wick drains are being used across the site to remove moisture, which is difficult to do naturally, given the clay consistency of the ground.

The three kilometre quay wall is being built using ten-storey-deep foundations; the construction to date has involved excavating two parallel trenches for 1.25 kms, filling them with concrete and using steel rods to tie them together.

DP World is upgrading the Thames Haven Branch Line, including double tracking from the branch line to the port, creating three terminals each with six 750-metre-long rail sidings, the longest rail sidings of any UK port.

In October 2011, DP World confirmed it had placed some substantial orders for equipment. ZPMC will provide eight of the largest ship-to-shore quay cranes in the world, capable of handling vessels of 18,000 teu. The Chinese supplier will also provide three large rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes.

Cargotec will supply automated stacking cranes and straddle carriers.

London Gateway is the largest development within the Port of London for more than a century; when complete, it will have 2,750 metres of quay, six deepwater berths, depth alongside of 17 metres and 24 quay cranes. The port will have an annual capacity of 3.5 million teu and is located just ten miles from the M25 motorway and within 25 miles of central London.

The first phase will open with three deepwater berths, capable of accommodating the world’s largest containerships; but what makes this project unique is the parallel development of a nine million square foot warehousing and logistics park.

DP World believes the logistics park will offer unbeatable opportunities for warehousing, distribution and added value activities, and will be used by tenants with goods to be exported to mainland Europe, especially with the choice of links via road, rail, coastal shipping or barge.

With an opening scheduled for the fourth quarter 2013, activity will step up tremendously onsite during 2012, says London Gateway commercial director Charles Meaby. “All our equipment and systems will be tested prior to opening to make sure we operate to world class levels from day one.”

London Gateway is the ultimate brownfield development – and it has also given DP World a blank piece of paper on which to start. “We are creating a new location for cargo to be imported and exported, one that is closer to the hinterlands compared to our competitors,” says Charles Meaby.

“We already have Memorandum of Understanding agreements with a number of customers, including shipping lines and cargo owners. There is a natural benefit for cargo owners to use London Gateway as their port of choice in the UK, as they will benefit from shorter inland haulage and therefore save time, money and CO2.”

The opening date announcement has clearly focused minds, he says: “Next year, they can utilise the country’s newest deepwater port, the closest to the UK’s largest markets.”

The Thames provides a diverse range of habitats supporting more than 50 species of waterfowl...

Always thinking ‘green’

W

HAT DOES ‘GREEN’ MEAN? For the Port of London Authority, it means an enduring commitment to understanding, protecting and enhancing the envronment of the tidal Thames and a determination to operate in an environmentally friendly way on both land and water.

But it also means balancing that commitment with the needs of all stakeholders, including commercial shipping, recreational users of the river and the local community.

Day-to-day this can mean assessing licenses for everything from dredging for commercial operations on the river to issuing permits to mudlarkers allowing them to investigate the Thames foreshore. Longer term, the environment group has been in the vanguard of licensing and assessing DP World’s dredging and land reclamation operations at London Gateway.

Oil spill response is an essential environmental service provided by the PLA, which operates the vessels and clean-up kit on behalf of the Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association (TOSCA). TOSCA is made up of the oil and oil products handling terminals on the river. The PLA has also licensed and oversees from its London Port Control Centre a ships’ fuel oil bunkering service in the Queen’s Channel, at the mouth of the estuary off the Kent coast.

In all its environmental work, the PLA applies environmental best practice, combined with a pragmatic, can-do attitude. This balanced approach is reflected in the PLA’s involvement in the process to create England’s new Maritime Conservation Zones (MCZ). To be designated under the UK’s Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, the MCZs will protect marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology of national importance, and will co-exist with the European designated marine sites already in place.

The PLA played a very proactive role in the regional stakeholder group meetings run by Balanced Seas, the project set up. An MCZ is being proposed to cover the whole of the tidal Thames for several migratory fish species, with some areas designated specifically to protect particular

E n v i r o n m e n t A LWAY S T H I N K I N G ‘ G R E E N ’

subtidal sediments. A reference area has also been proposed for Holehaven Creek – this would mean that dredging was not allowed. The PLA is working to ensure that this does not impact on commercial operations on the Thames.

“We are fully supportive of the MCZ project; its aims reflect our commitment to careful environmental stewardship,” says Nicola Jenkins, the PLA’s environment manager. “We are also mindful of the commercial activities of the port, and we are working with the various bodies involved to ensure that the two can happily co-exist, something operations on the Thames already demonstrate is possible.”

Meanwhile, the PLA continues to work closely with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), in a unique partnership agreement signed nearly four years ago.

A Conservation Management Framework for the Thames, developed jointly by the PLA and RSPB, went through its first three-year review in 2011; an updated and revised version of the CMF is now on the website.

The Thames provides a diverse range of habitats supporting more than 50 species of waterfowl, including 12 that are internationally important, and it welcomes up to 300,000 over-wintering birds each year.

Home territory The River Thames provides a home for tentacled lagoon worms, smelts, European eels, grey seals … and a whole lot more.

The PLA’s environment team has recently produced a colourful poster map entitled the ‘Ecology of the Tidal Thames’, which illustrates where national nature reserves, conservation areas and special protection areas are located, and gives details of plants, animals and habitats of national, European and international interest.

As the poster says: “The River Thames has changed drastically over the past 600 years. From a grossly polluted river churning with sewage and industrial waste supporting little, if any, life; it has made a substantial recovery. Today it is home to a huge variety of plants and animals, some of which are protected within its multiple conservation areas.”

MAKING CONNECTIONS

London Container Terminal has been created to provide a unique combination of Deep Sea and European Short Sea trades at the same facility.

It is the first of many connections we are making.

We are joining supply chains. We are working with shipping lines through to retailers, bringing together logistics providers with our customer network and ultimately connecting to portcentric warehousing within the Port of Tilbury and at the new London Distribution Park.

Green background The PLA’s environmental commitment encompasses everything it does – whether on the river, on the shore or in its offices.

Recent initiatives have included: • A very successful Environment Week; • A beach clean-up – a team of 15, including senior managers, collected two large crates of rubbish; • A competition to see which PLA office floor recycled best; • A photographic competition; • New analysis of data and information relating to the PLA’s carbon footprint.

In 2012, the PLA’s environmental management system (EMS) is due for ISO 14001 recertification for the third time; at the same time, the ISO 9001 quality accreditation is due for recertification for the fifth time, and the ISO 18001 health & safety standard is due for its first recertification.

“Our integrated management system covers all three systems and we have been very successful in bringing them all into alignment,” says Nicola Jenkins.

“Continual improvement is the key to it all – making sure that we provide good quality services while preserving the environment.

That is the backbone of everything we do.

“The environment isn’t a ‘separate’ issue; we get involved in so many different projects in different areas. We work with developers and operators before, during and after, to ensure we achieve the best results for the environment.”

“We will take this poster to stakeholders, festivals, public meetings and other events to make it available to the public, and also put it on to the website,” says Nicola Jenkins.

An important area highlighted on the map is Oliver’s Ait, one of nine mid-channel islands in the upper reaches of the tidal Thames. This island is owned by the PLA, which has a partnership agreement with the London Wildlife Trust for its management; it is dominated by mature trees, which provide refuge for nesting and roosting birds and bats, and the rare swollen spire snail has been recorded there.

However, Oliver’s Ait needs some love and attention, including work on its revetments to ensure it isn’t washed away and some management of visitors who may cause damage to the ecosystem. There is general concern about the state of the island and its trees, and the PLA has already undertaken some works to repair the revetments and clear unsafe and dying trees.

A management plan has been formulated for the site and work will be carried out to repair and protect the island.

“Oliver’s Ait has a lot of local support and there was concern about its future,” says Nicola Jenkins. “We have carried out stakeholder engagement meetings to inform people what we are doing, and our plans will include controlling access to the island. We would like to get residents involved in looking after the island and we are working with the London Wildlife Trust to make it a better place.”

Tidal power As the search for clean, green energy continues, many people are looking at the potential for tidal energy projects on the River Thames – and the PLA’s environment team is getting involved.

“We need fully to understand the impacts of tidal energy systems and also we would like to consider the use of tidal energy ourselves,” says Nicola Jenkins. “From the PLA point of view, we need to understand the implications of installing those operating regimes on to piers or other structures across the Thames, in environmental and operational terms.

“For example, if the pressure changes as the flow goes around the turbine, does that impact on fish and mammals? Or, if you are suddenly taking energy out of the water, what is the navigational impact?”

Recent years have seen a major improvement in the cleanliness of the Thames, in terms of water quality and reduced amounts of rubbish.

Behind the scenes

E

VERY ACCLAIMED PERFORMANCE RELIES ON AN EXCELLENT BACKSTAGE TEAM – and while giant ships and slick port/logistics operations may steal the limelight on the Thames, it is the PLA’s experienced teams that provide the essential behind-the-scenes back-up.

Diving, salvage, mooring maintenance, underwater inspections, wharf services, boat lifting, load-out services, storage services, driftwood and rubbish collections, aids to navigation, pollution response … all of these (and more) are provided by the PLA’s marine services team, along the 95-mile length of the tidal Thames.

The marine services department is based at Denton Wharf, near Gravesend; here, the PLA’s fleet of more than 40 vessels, including salvage, driftwood and work boats, is maintained.

The PLA has invested more than £10 million at Denton Wharf in the past decade – including, in 2011, a £700,000 project to strengthen the quay wall and expand the boat storage and working area.

“This latest work brings Denton Wharf to maximum capacity. With the recruitment of extra deckhands, it’s all part of our work to get ready for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, which are set to bring even more activity to the river this year,” says Peter Steen, the PLA’s director of marine operations.

“The Thames is heavily used by both commercial and leisure vessels. A busy river needs somewhere to lift out vessels for maintenance and to supply major development schemes. Denton Wharf provides that base as well as being our operational centre for providing navigational safety support.”

From Denton, the PLA provides a wide range of support services, which include: • Providing moorings for the Blackfriars station development; • Loading out monitoring buoys and supporting dredging

Marine Services BEHIND THE SCENES

works for the London Gateway development; • Inspecting wrecks and working with archaeologists on the recovery of historical artefacts; • Maintaining more than 60 aids to navigation, including buoys and the Central London bridge lights, and inspecting/ maintaining more than 230 PLA moorings; • Laying temporary markings for events such as the University Boat Race.

Replacing the Thames ‘Ness’ boats The PLA’s purpose-built salvage vessels, Hookness and Crossness, have become a familiar sight on the Thames and more than proved their worth over many years – but now it’s time for their retirement.

Tenders for a replacement have been invited, and the PLA is likely to order a maintenance/salvage vessel this year, for delivery in 2014.

Cleaning up Every year the PLA’s driftwood crews remove about 450-500 tonnes of rubbish from the river, using the specialist craft Driftwood II and Driftwood III. The teams also regularly empty nine passive driftwood collectors (PDCs) strategically placed along the river.

Recent years have seen a major improvement in the cleanliness of the Thames, in terms of water quality and reduced amounts of rubbish. The PLA works with the environmental charity Thames21, supporting its work in foreshore clean-ups.

TOSCA The Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association (TOSCA) holds regular emergency exercises in order to ensure it is well prepared to respond to any oil pollution incident.

Managed by the PLA and based at Denton Wharf, TOSCA is on 24/7 standby, ready to respond anywhere between Tower Bridge and Canvey Island.

The PLA’s hydrographic department is one of the best resourced in the UK, and its skills are in demand not only within the Thames, but also on a commercial basis.

The Perfect Image

O

N A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER – in some places. But the reality in the River Thames is slightly different. First, there is no such thing as a clear day; the Thames is a muddy place where thick sediment ensures that a diver literally cannot see his hand in front of his face. Second, while forever may be an exaggeration, the PLA’s hydrographic department can see an awfully long way and in extraordinary detail, thanks to state-of-the-art surveying equipment and a highly experienced and skilled team.

The core responsibility of the hydrographic team is to ‘see’ what can’t be seen. They survey the full extent of the tidal Thames under the jurisdiction of the Port of London Authority – a 95-mile stretch of river, encompassing 400 square miles of river and seabed. The depth of water and tidal heights and flows must be accurately measured and predicted and this information clearly presented, both electronically and on traditional paper, to ensure that the Thames is a safe waterway for all its users, both commercial and leisure.

The whole river is surveyed, bank to bank, on a rolling programme over five to 15 years, depending on the particular area. A further 90 survey areas subject to greater change and consequenly with higher navigational significance are surveyed much more frequently – as often as every four weeks in some cases.

Ask around and you’ll find that the general perception of the river is that it forms a uniform deep V shape from one end to the other. That would mean conveniently predictable depths

along its length. But this is a river with dramatic ups and downs – and a dynamic environment where tidal forces and currents can create rapid build-up of sediment, where storms can shift sandbanks and swirl up high spots on the riverbed overnight, and where unexpected obstacles can suddenly appear.

“Outside the Palace of Westminster, the river is only 1.5 metres deep in places at low tide. The variation between high and low tide can be as much as eight metres, so the differentiation is huge; it might be so high that some vessels can’t get under bridges, or so low that they can’t safely transit over a shallow patch in the river,” says John Dillon-Leetch, the PLA’s deputy port hydrographer. “Our job is to give them the facts, based on our own surveys and real-time and long-term tidal predictions.”

The PLA’s hydrographic department is one of the best resourced in the UK, and its skills are in demand not only within the Thames for the PLA’s own requirements, but also on a commercial basis; hydrographic services are provided to a variety of customers for everything from checking the condition of underwater structures, to assessing the impact of tidal flows on berth depths.

“We work very closely with terminal managers to help them ensure their berths are as they want them to be,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “We also provide support for those looking to develop on the river, making sure their plans are safe and don’t have any negative effect on the river environment.”

In recent years the hydrographic team has carried out a very high level of work for the London Gateway – including surveying to support the removal of wrecks and obstructions, producing new charts to represent the changes

made at the site so far and monitoring the tidal area to ensure there are no unforeseen changes as a result of the dredging and reclamation.

“The PLA has been alongside DP World the whole way,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “We are also working with other major projects, including Crossrail and the Tideway Tunnel; we recently took over 200 individual samples of river bed along the river from Greenwich to Putney, for the Tideway Tunnel project.”

The team recently undertook its first ‘overseas’ job, high-resolution engineering surveys of a new jetty in Dublin.

It has also provided services for the offshore wind farms in the Thames area, and worked for the Environment Agency, surveying flood barriers on the river. “It is better not to use human intervention – i.e. divers – for such tasks if you don’t need to, for health and safety reasons,” says John DillonLeetch. “We will do the same work for the agency on the River Colne, to avoid the need for divers to inspect the barriers.”

Hydrographic: the kit The PLA has invested substantial sums into its hydrographic capability over the past few years. This includes the Galloper, a catamaran which gives surveyors access to parts of the river too shallow for larger craft to reach. The 7.9 metre vessel works alongside the survey vessels Verifier and Yantlet, and can be taken by road to carry out work at other ports. The Galloper is equipped with a high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES), which gives the capability to undertake highly accurate surveys of the riverbed and associated structures.

In the past year it has also been trialling the use of survey-laser systems to survey major structures above the water; the laser images can be merged with bathymetric images to provide a very detailed ‘above and below water’ image of rigs and offshore structures, pipelines, bridges and other large structures.

The hydrographic team is made up of surveyors, a tidal manager, a Geographical Information System (GIS) manager, an oceanographer and an administration assistant. Now it is being boosted by the addition of a river conservancy manager, who will analyse data and monitor changes in the river regime, aiming to establish what effects drive these changes. “The river conservancy manager will provide support and advice for people who want to develop in the river, making sure that their plans are safe and don’t have any adverse effect on the river’s regime and environment, a responsibility that the PLA takes very seriously,” says John Dillon-Leetch.

Hydrographic THE PERFECT IMAGE

The images retrieved by the hydrographic team of a downed German warplane off Ramsgate are an extraordinary example of what can be achieved by skill and technology.

Experts at the Royal Air Force Museum were amazed at the detail provided by the multibeam echosounder, which was working 50 feet above where the Second World War Dornier is lying – belly up, bomb doors still open and even with its tyres still inflated.

The aircraft had been covered by the seabed for nearly 70 years, but re-emerged in 2010 as currents scoured away the sand that was obscuring it.

The aircraft is believed to be the only one of its kind fully intact; the RAF museum at Hendon wants to salvage the Dornier and use it as a central part of an exhibition telling the story of the Battle of Britain.

The PLA has been working closely with the RAF, taking representatives out in the Yantlet when the survey was carried out and providing salvage advice. “There was evidence that some of the artefacts were ‘disappearing’, so it’s important to save it,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “For us, this has been a great way of showing off our technology in a non-standard way!”

Some ships don’t carry any paper charts and we need to cater for that development as well as for people carrying PDAs and iPads

Time and Tide New tide prediction software developed exclusively for the PLA means that the hydrographic team no longer needs to go externally to get tide predictions for the Thames – and port users will also be able to benefit.

“Thanks to this in-house programme, ‘Thames Tide’, we can do our own predictions – and in 2012 we will be launching this software on a CD that will be available to agents, shipowners, etc., so they can run their own predictions,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “The program will enable them to get hourly predictions up to many years hence, supporting navigation and forward planning.”

The hydrographic team is also responsible for monitoring and controlling 14 tide gauges strategically located along the Thames, work that is especially important for larger, deeper ships relying on short tidal windows for access.

All of the information gathered by the hydrographic team – tide tables, critical depths, hydrographic surveys – must be published in ‘old’ and ‘new’ formats – on UK Admiralty paper,

the PLA’s own charts and maps and, increasingly important, digitally.

The PLA has produced its own electronic navigation charts – recognising that some ships are already paperless on the bridge. “Some ships don’t carry any paper charts and we need to cater for that development as well as for people carrying PDAs and iPads,” says John Dillon-Leetch. The latest printing technology also enables the PLA to print charts on demand, in colour and at a scale specifically for navigation.

“The introduction of our smaller A2 size colour chart folios covering from Teddington to the Thames Barrier has been a really successful development and we are extending the coverage in 2012,” he adds.

“We constantly ask ourselves: what will the chart of the future be? We need to look at ten years in the future – for example, pilots might be carrying PPUs. There is a great deal of unofficial data out there and we have to make sure that the official data is available in all the appropriate formats.”

Expert pilotage is at the centre of the integrated package of services offered by the PLA.

Knowledge and know-how

N

EW BERTHS, NEW DEPTHS, NEW VESSELS, NEW TRADES – as the world of shipping continually evolves, the Port of London Authority’s pilots must be ready to handle it all.

On a day-to-day basis, the members of this highly skilled team draw on their detailed knowledge of the estuary, river, terminals, tides, depths, currents and weather as they guide a wide variety of ships to and from their berths along the Thames.

Recent new challenges have included: • Working with ships bringing biomass to the newly converted Tilbury Power Station; • Conducting manoeuvring trials for the London Gateway to establish exact tidal windows for the largest containerships; • Continuing to support the London Gateway dredging operation, particularly with the new dredger Congo River.

Meanwhile, the focus on specialist training continues; the pilotage department has undertaken MCA approved ECDIS training at ECDIS Ltd in Fareham, as well as improved pilot-specific manned model courses at the Timsbury Lake facility of Warsash Maritime Academy.

Expert pilotage is at the centre of the integrated package of services offered by the PLA – and while it is probably the easiest service to explain to the man or woman on the street, the complexities of coordinating the service are perhaps less obvious to the outsider.

In the past year, the PLA has continued its focus on recruitment and training as it aims to maintain a pool of nearly 100 qualified pilots. Within that pool there are a number of specialist roles including duty port controllers and 12 river pilots who have extensive knowledge of the bridges, jetties, piers and tidal characteristics of the upper Thames.

“We took on ten new pilots in 2011 and have budgeted for six more in 2012, to build numbers up while covering for retirements,” says director of marine operations Peter Steen.

The PLA’s training programme makes best use of the ship bridge manoeuvring simulator installed at Gravesend nine years ago and continually upgraded in the years since then. In

Pilotage KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW-HOW

2011, azipod controls were added to the simulator to enable pilots to train in handling azipod-type ships.

The simulator is also invaluable for developers, shipping lines and pilots in ‘trying out’ proposed new or altered berths, and carrying out trials for vessels calling in the Thames for the first time. Vopak, for example, has been trialling the berthing of larger vessels at its Thames facilities, using the simulator. The new London Gateway port will be capable of accommodating Maersk Line’s 18,000 teu Triple-E class ships, which are due to enter service from 2013; the simulator is being used to plan and practise for this.

“If you want to look at building a bigger jetty or bigger ships, and perhaps want to check out swinging room, etc., all this can be tested on the simulator,” says Peter Steen.

Masters and mates applying for a pilotage exemption certificate have to undergo training and sit an examination to demonstrate their skills and knowledge of the river; and those in charge of ships longer than 160 metres also have to spend time in the PLA’s simulator. During 2011, the ferry operator Cobelfret sent 80 of its senior officers for simulator training, coupled with marine resources management (MRM) training, another successful development within the pilotage department.

The outlook for 2012 is for another busy year with simulator time being booked by a variety of third parties.

As well as manned model training for pilots at Warsash, and the very successful MRM training conducted at Gravesend, the pilotage department has also introduced ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) training, and has continued trialling pilots’ portable units (PPU) – small computers that carry electronic charts, VTS traffic images and other safety and navigation information.

In a reflection of the wide knowledge of the PLA’s pilotage team, one of the senior pilots has been seconded to the harbourmaster upper’s office to assist in the run-up to 2012, while six river pilots have also volunteered to act as event marshals for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee river pageant.

“They are all keen to offer their services and assist the harbour master in the safe running of the event,” says Peter Steen.

Lambeth is launch pad The Lambeth, a revolutionary new patrol boat built for the PLA, has been followed into service by two similar vessels, and a fourth was delivered at the end of 2011.

The ‘bridge class’ vessels – 13.5 metres long and 4.8 metres wide, and operating at a maximum 21 knots – double up as pilot cutters.

“This gives us the flexibility to interchange them, although we will retain the use of our larger, heavier boat for the rougher weather,” says Peter Steen.

The Lambeth proved a great success in early trials and the boats that followed have been built with some further refinements to the design, following pilots’ recommendations.

The Kew and Southwark arrived in 2011, with the fourth and final boat, the Barnes, expected to enter operation by the beginning of 2012.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

This is the UK’s second busiest port; every year, more than 10,000 large ships make their way into and out of London.

Out in front

T

HE PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY HAS LONG BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES (VTS) TECHNOLOGY AND OPERATIONS – and some key achievements in the past year have served to underline that position.

• A major upgrade of the PLA’s VTS system has delivered an impressive package of improvements; • The work was achieved with no obvious disruption to our customers, demonstrating the success of the PLA’s ‘future-proofing’ strategy at the last major upgrade in 2004; • The PLA has made significant advances in its VTS training, delivering refresher courses for external attendees and gearing up to offer external VTS operator and supervisor professional courses in 2012; • The focus on home-grown talent is shining through; the new VTS manager due to take over in September 2012 has ‘risen through the ranks’.

The Port of London Authority has responsibility for overseeing all shipping movements throughout the 400 square miles of estuary and tidal river under its jurisdiction. This is the UK’s second busiest port; every year, more than 10,000 large ships make their way into and out of London.

Most of them are working to tight schedules and many are carrying time-critical cargoes. It goes without saying that everyone is looking for prompt, efficient arrival and departure; after all, time is money, and that’s even more the case in difficult economic times.

The PLA’s VTS team plays a crucial role, coordinating a complex mix of requirements to ensure that vessels move efficiently but also safely to and from their destinations. It’s best described as a kind of air traffic control on water.

During 2011, a major upgrade of the PLA’s VTS system added even more capability, functionality and flexibility, as well as delivering a more straightforward presentation. The upgrade has added the ability for operators to control CCTV directly, presenting images onscreen, and to ‘slave’ CCTV cameras so that they track radar targets automatically. Further refinement and development has given the VTS operators a more user-friendly bit of kit, with a more impressive and clear

Ve s s e l Tr a f f i c S e r v i c e s O U T I N F R O N T

presentation.

The upgrade was carried out in partnership with Signalis, the new French/German company that encompasses the PLA’s long-term supplier, Sofrelog, and another VTS supplier, Atlas; for now, the product name for the system used by the PLA continues to be known as SYTAR. “The system has delivered all of the capability we were expecting and will also enable us to develop further in the future,” says VTS manager Barry Goldman. “With Signalis incorporating both Sofrelog and Atlas, it would be reasonable to expect in the longer term the best of both systems will be used to produce an even better product.”

The emphasis on flexibility and future-proofing at the two Port Control Centres during the last VTS upgrade was put the test – and passed with flying colours. “The futureproofing we focused on in 2004 has certainly been very much proven,” says Barry Goldman. “We have, with relatively minimal disruption, got the new kit in by just replacing what was on the desk. Relocation of workstation computers also means less noise in the operations room itself.”

At the Woolwich (Thames Barrier) Port Control Centre, the operations room has been redesigned, based on the experience of a recent re-ordering of the Gravesend Port Control Centre.

“We now have an improved layout, vastly enhanced workstations for the operators and better provision for the Coastguard at the Barrier, integrating them more fully into the process. The changes have also provided a work station for the harbour master, to be used for emergency management in the Barrier sector. Overall, the whole layout looks and feels much more professional and provides a much improved working environment.”

Always at the heart of the PLA’s VTS strategy is the need to engage with the emergency services to ensure a coordinated response in the event of any incident. Having made that sort of provision, the PLA will be able to capitalise on this strength during the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the Olympic Games, both of which will be demanding events in terms of coordinating vessel movements on the river.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

A single View European and national legislation is moving rapidly towards the electronic submission of vessel, cargo and related information as ships make their way to ports.

The Port of London Authority took an early and important step in this direction with the introduction of PISCES, the Port Information System for Coordinating End-to-End Services, in 2009.

PISCES is an on-line information input system designed to replace the myriad of different ways in which customers have in the past put in their requests for pilotage and other services. The variety didn’t quite stretch to carrier pigeon, but the port team were used to receiving often hurried and unclear messages via telex, fax, phone, email, text, creating plenty of room for error and misunderstandings as customers often altered arrangements several times and at short notice.

PISCES was launched with the slogan ‘One Version of the Truth’ and its implementation has been very successful, enabling more efficient and cost-effective planning and coordination of services.

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

By the end of 2011, about two-thirds of all shipping movements were being notified through PISCES. “We continue to urge our agents and operators to transfer on to PISCES,” says Barry Goldman.

New legislation coming into force in 2012 is expected to act as a catalyst for this. Based on EU requirements, vessels carrying dangerous and polluting goods will be required to submit notification electronically, and in the Port of London that will mean via PISCES. “There is an increasing move within the EU for all data to be available electronically,” says Barry Goldman. “It is quite clear that this is just the beginning, and the aspiration is to move more and more reporting requirements to electronic format, to ensure better data capture. What we are looking towards in PISCES is a ‘port single window’ that not only meets the EU requirements but also allows us to capture data more efficiently and to provide convenient but controlled access to such data by the wider port community.”

Ve s s e l Tr a f f i c S e r v i c e s O U T I N F R O N T

On the radar The development for the commercial market of solid state coherent radars, which offer improved radar performance in small target detection and accuracy, has been a major step forward for the VTS sector – this technology promises to offer military technology at nearer commercial prices.

One of these solid state radars was on trial at Beckton for a short period during the past year and it delivered a very impressive performance. The PLA will now go ahead and install its first permanent solid state radars – at Charlton, Cliffe and probably Northfleet.

“This will give us a first operational experience of using them – and we do expect them to give us much better discrimination, much improved ability to detect smaller targets and better reliability,” says Barry Goldman.

“These radars are more expensive per individual unit but

their through-life costs are very much lower and overall we believe this is a cost-effective choice. We will be rolling them out across the port.”

The PLA has a network of 17 radars overseeing the river and estuary; this includes one being installed at Foulger’s Gat in an agreement with the developers of the London Array offshore wind farm, to ensure safety of navigation around the wind turbines. Another new radar will be installed towards the Sunk as the London Array development moves into its second phase.

The London Array developers have also partfunded additional personnel within the PLA’s VTS team, recognising the greater oversight required because of the wind farm’s presence.

The PLA has made some really significant advances in VTS training in recent times...

Thames AIS

Stepping up

AIS – Automatic Identification System – was already compulsory for larger commercial shipping when the bespoke Thames AIS was introduced for smaller craft five years ago.

This unique system was developed in direct response to recommendations from the Thames Safety Inquiry, and is mandatory for all passenger boats, tugs and commercial vessels over 50 gt throughout Central London.

The revised Thames Byelaws extend the Thames AIS area to include the stretch of the river from Victoria Deep Water Terminal as far as Denton. A key reason for this is to allow for any expansion of passenger services in 2012, during the Queen’s jubilee celebrations or the Olympic Games.

Thames AIS features a geographical display and requires electronic reporting of passenger numbers on board.

Crucially, it enables masters and skippers to be much more aware of other vessels in their immediate area.

It has proved to be enormously successful in terms of safety as well as security. “And we have no intention of making any exceptions during the Olympics Games or other events, because it is such an enhancement to safety and security,” says Barry Goldman. “If people want to operate commercially on the Thames, they have to use it.”

VTS manager Barry Goldman will retire in September 2012 and his successor has already been appointed. Kevin Gregory, who is currently deputy VTS manager, was recruited from P&O Ferries in 2003 and progressed all the way through the PLA’s training system, first qualifying as a VTS operator, then becoming a Duty Officer before being appointed deputy VTS manager. “This is a great example of our focus on training and development, and on producing home-grown talent,” says Barry Goldman.

The PLA has made some really significant advances in VTS training in recent times. Its ability to provide in-house refresher training, using the state-of-the-art VTS simulator at the Gravesend Port Control Centre, had already been recognised by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA); now Kevin Gregory has qualified to run refresher courses for external attendees.

“We have now run two refresher training courses which have been widely acclaimed and during the next year we hope to gain further accreditation so that we can offer VTS operator and supervisor professional courses to external people in the same way as a college,” says Barry Goldman. “That really builds cost-effectively on the capability of our simulator, something we are very proud of. We can offer a course given by practitioners to practitioners with the ability to demonstrate live VTS Centre on hand. We have a world-standard training capability; but we will be careful not to over-commit ourselves, as our prime role is always to act as a VTS and not a training centre.”

In 2011, work began on the installation of the London Array, the world’s largest consented wind farm.

On the Horizon

T

HE PLA’S COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, and it’s logical that this extends to supporting the concept of ‘green’ energy.

However, as offshore wind farms continue to proliferate off our coasts, there are numerous issues to be resolved and, within its area of jurisdiction, the PLA works with the developers on a number of levels.

This includes: • Ensuring the safety of navigation during the construction phase and once the wind turbines are in place and operational; • Monitoring the effects of the wind turbines on shipping and the PLA’s own operations; • Assisting and supporting the developers in planning their installation work.

In 2011, work began on the installation of the London Array, the world’s largest consented wind farm. Being developed by Dong Energy, E.ON and Masdar, the 1,000 MW wind farm is being built in two phases – the first providing 175 turbines.

Parallel to the installation of foundations and transition pieces, the project involves laying the export cables linking the wind farm site to Cleve Hill, on the Swale, directly crossing the Port of London’s main access channel.

“The cable will be buried about 2 metres below the surface of the seabed and a second cable is to be laid later in

Wind Farms ON THE HORIZON

2012,” says the PLA’s harbourmaster (lower), Roy Stanbrook.

“When the cable layer is crossing the main channel, clearly we need to carefully manage shipping to avoid interference or conflict with traffic flow.”

Meanwhile, an extension to the Kentish Flats wind farm is going ahead; geotechnical investigations have continued in 2011 with a view to starting installation in 2012.

And at the Gunfleet Sands wind farm, adjacent to London’s shipping and leisure boating routes, two very large demonstrator units are due to be installed.

“We issue Notices to Mariners and keep everyone informed during construction work of this kind,” says Roy Stanbrook. “But we are also closely involved at the planning stages, as we want to make sure that any development does not have any adverse effect on shipping in the future.”

However, there are still concerns about the effect of offshore wind farms on navigation and investigations continue.

In particular, the PLA is examining the impact of the turbines on ship’s radar. “We have carried out further trials to determine which parts of the turbines actually produce larger reflections,” he says.

Trials were carried out in 2011 using Trinity House’s vessel the Patricia and the results are being analysed. As wind farms expand and are built in close proximity to each other, and many more are on the horizon in the UK’s Round 3, it is important to determine what the cumulative effect could be on ships’ radars of multiple wind farms in a relatively small area.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

PLA assessed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and awarded certifying authority status to survey any small commercial vessels up to 24 metres.

Vessel licensing expanding the remit

T

HE PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY LICENSES OVER 600 INLAND WATERWAY VESSELS, employing qualified marine surveyors for this task.

Now the PLA’s remit is expanding, after it was assessed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and awarded certifying authority status to survey any small commercial vessels up to 24 metres.

“From the south coast to Scotland, our surveyors can inspect and issue a certificate for this class of vessel on behalf of the MCA,” says Julian Parkes, the PLA’s harbour master (safety management system). “This provides a commercial opportunity for us to help support and fund our vessel licensing role, a statutory function which does not cover its costs.

“Gaining this status strengthens and underpins our standing and capability as a regulator and navigation authority under the Port Marine Safety Code. It demonstrates to the world our capability and the strength of our structure, organisation and systems. Our priority, though, remains the

statutory survey work we are obliged to do under the Port of London Act.” The PLA is also working with the MCA on the development of a new technical and operational standard for freight vessels operating in inland waterways. This will be based in part on EU technical standards and be applied locally in the Thames but also in the future, on other UK waterways such as the Humber. Industry is being consulted at several stages through the development of the standard.

“We hope that this new standard will be in place by the middle of 2012; we will apply the standard and regulate against it here using local powers, and it will be available for other regulators to use, in the form of a national Code of Practice” says Julian Parkes. “This is a really positive step forward in improving the standards and criteria to which we license, to ensure we support safe freight operations on the Thames. This is especially important because we expect an increased number of vessels to be working on the river in the next few years, as the Tideway Tunnel and Crossrail projects get under way.”

B y e l a w s V E S S E L L I C E N S I N G - E X PA N D I N G T H E L I M I T

Rules and regulations From rowing to mooring, from handling dangerous bulk cargoes to running ship towage operations, the Port of London Authority works for safety on the Thames through the enforcement and regulator review of comprehensive local rules, regulations and Codes of Practice.

The Port of London River Byelaws, amended several times since they were produced in their current form in 1978, are now completing a major revision which will provide a set of revised byelaws known as Thames Byelaws.

The PLA has worked closely with the Department for Transport’s legal department in this, and the process involves informal and formal consultation with port and river users before the revised byelaws are confirmed.

Some of the amendments have prompted more discussion than others – for example, introducing a 12-knot speed limit on the river in central London for safety reasons.

“We have had a number of formal objections and we are working through these,” says Julian Parkes. “We have discussed the issues with those who are concerned and explained thoroughly the reasons for the changes and, in some cases, new byelaws. If need be, there will be some further amendments which take into account people’s concerns.”

The aim is to have the new Byelaws confirmed and in place by the Olympic Games.

“Our position as ever is that we try to facilitate the use of the river by everyone who wants to use it. Whether rowers, barges, passenger vessels or Clippers, we have to make sure any activity allowed is done safely.”

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 and Volvo vehicles are imported, with a

further 10,000 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles exported to Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

On behalf of Ford, Cobelfret operates vessels on the Dagenham/Vlissingen service, providing up to three ro-ro sailings per day from each port. As well as handling Ford’s own business, the Dagenham Jetty moves significant amounts of third party business. Trailers are shipped for a variety of customers, as Cobelfret and Ford look to maximise both shipping and port operations.

In November 2011, Ford embarked on a

US$5 million jetty refurbishment which is due for completion in June 2012.

The work has been organised to allow services and operations to continue uninterrupted.

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

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.

terminal specialises in the storage and delivery of hydrocarbons and has storage capacity of 310,000 cubic metres in 53 tanks ranging from 1,700 to 20,800 cubic metres.

Close access to the M25 London orbital motorway provides customers with a fast and efficient means of receiving products in London, the South East and nationwide.

Nustar has an ongoing investment programme at the terminal in order to maintain its excellent level of safety and service. Fully automated bottom loading facilities, backed up by a computerised preloading authorisation system, are key to the terminal’s highly efficient distribution operation. Additional bottom loading distillate facilities came into operation during 2008.

Nustar Terminals Nustar Terminals Ltd is the UK subsidiary of Nustar LP, which operates more than 90 bulk liquid storage terminals, 9,113 miles of pipelines and four crude oil storage facilities, making the company one of the largest independent terminal operators in the world.

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

A top tier COMAH site, the Oikos terminal handles the full range of liquid bulks, including aviation fuel, gasoline,

diesel, other petroleum products and chemicals.

In the past two years, more than £50 million has been invested at the Oikos site in major works that have included a complete rebuild of the jetty, enabling it to receive up to 60,000 tonnes vessels, replacing the entire on-site pipeline network, refurbishing or demolishing/ rebuilding dozens of tanks, building a high-tech control room and refurbishing road-loading racks. The result is a stateof-the-art terminal considered one of the safest and most modern in the UK and

probably Europe.

The company has now finished phase one of the work, and is seeking customers and projects for phase two, which would see further reconstruction of the 65-acre site.

Oikos is within easy reach of the M25 via the A13 and A127, and has recently benefited from a new road built as part of the Canvey Island regeneration. The opening of Rosscommon Way enabled road tankers heading to and from the Oikos facility to bypass local homes, thus minimising disruption to residents.

the majority of its output to oil majors, resellers, industry and retail petrol stations.

Products are distributed via the refinery’s own on-site truck-loading rack, oil product pipeline and marine facilities.

Coryton is investing more than £20 million in the construction of a Sulphur Tail Gas Unit. The unit will result in a significant reduction in SOx emissions.

The Coryton Refinery believes not only that its activities should generate economic benefits and opportunities but that good corporate citizenship and the handling of safety, health and environmental (SHE) issues are core responsibilities of the business.

For this reason, there are sophisticated systems and projects onsite to

ensure that the refinery protects the environment and works to the highest safety standards. Coryton works with the PLA in the provision of TOSCA (the Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association), which provides a rapid response in the event of any oil spill - just one example of the refinery’s work in environmental protection.

The strategic relationship between the PLA and Coryton provides first-class management of risk. This includes working together on real-time simulation training for Coryton pilotage activities.

Packed and bulk oils are delivered to a wide range of food manufacturing factories around the UK and overseas.

The jetty’s outer berth has a minimum

depth of 8.25 metres alongside and accommodates vessels up to 40,000 dwt.

Coryton Refinery Situated on the north bank of the river, Coryton Refinery has been part of the Thames landscape since 1953. On 31 May 2007, the refinery was acquired by Petroplus AG Holdings.

Total throughput at the Coryton Refinery is 172,000 barrels of crude per day, with additional throughput capacity of up to 70,000 barrels per day of other feedstocks. Crude is shipped from all over the world, including the North Sea, Africa and Russia. Well over 600 ships called in 2008.

Production is split roughly equally between gasoline and diesel; the majority is sold in the southern UK, with the exception of gasoline and fuel oil, some of which is exported to other regions. Coryton Refinery typically sells

Coryton Refinery “Pleased to be working with the Port of London Authority”

Coryton Refinery has been part of the Thames Landscape since 1953.

Situated on the North Bank of the River, the Refinery is one of the largest in Europe.

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

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

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

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

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

Committed to sustainable development, the company featured in the Sunday Times Best Green Companies list from 2008-2011. Employing close to 5,000 people in the UK, northern Europe and the Channel Islands, Aggregate Industries also became the first company in its sector to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard and the first to be certified to BES 6001: The Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products.

The company is rated ‘Very Good’ across the whole of its business and ‘Excellent’ for ready-mixed concrete.

This independent certification scheme assesses responsible sourcing policies and practices throughout the supply

chain of construction products.

With operations in the heart of London and the Thames Gateway areas, Aggregate Industries is ideally placed to serve construction projects at the heart of the nation. It is a well-established ready-mixed concrete supplier through its Brentford-based business, London Concrete. The Shard, Heathrow T5 and the Olympic Park are just some of the recent construction projects the company has supplied.

Aggregate Industries operates more than 80 quarries across the UK, with major quarrying operations in Scotland, the East Midlands and Somerset, from which it moves construction aggregates to London by ship and rail. The company operates the world’s largest selfdischarging aggregate carriers, which carry up to 97,000 tonnes. Along the

Thames, it operates a fleet of tugs and barges through Bennett’s Barges.

Bennett’s Barges transports hundreds of thousands of tonnes of aggregate products from the Isle of Grain depot to its Thames customers, saving six million lorry miles. Looking ahead, the specialist barge fleet will substantially exceed this important contribution to the efforts to reduce carbon emissions for a cleaner environment in the capital.

Away from the rivers and canals, aggregates are transported by rail wherever possible into depots and terminals, hauled by energy-efficient locomotives.

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

Brett Aggregates More than one million tonnes of seadredged 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.

on-site concrete plants, as well as to other CEMEX customers along the river, while Northfleet Wharf and the concrete plant at Angerstein Wharf handle imports of sea-dredged aggregates from CEMEX UK Marine.

The CEMEX concrete products factory at Northfleet produces paving and concrete blocks.

CEMEX has a 1.2 million tonne capacity cement grinding and blending plant at the Port of Tilbury – the only cement grinding plant in South East England. The primary product manufactured at the facility is blended cement, which incorporates by-products from other industries to make cements for use in all types of concrete applications, including housing, hospitals, schools and roads.

Blended cements enable every tonne of clinker, an intermediate cement product, to go further, lessening the overall impact of manufacture and delivering a more sustainable operation.

The plant is situated directly on the quayside, with 11 metres water depth and the ability to handle ships up to 30,000 tonnes. It is well positioned to take advantage of CEMEX UK’s extensive network of London wharfs and depots in the future, all of which are connected by river and rail transport to further minimise emissions and relieve the pressure on congested roads.

The high-efficiency, low-energy facility is CEMEX’s first vertical cement mill and uses 20% to 40% less energy than traditional horizontal mills.

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

The company operates six wharves on the river, as well as a joint company operation with Hanson Aggregates, named Purfleet Aggregates. It supplies several of its concrete plants with cement by river barges that are loaded at Northfleet and Angerstein, reducing lorry deliveries into central London by an estimated 2,000 a year.

Materials are supplied by barge to Cringle Wharf at Battersea and Comleys Wharf at Fulham for use in the

Hanson Hanson operates four facilities on the Thames – a marine wharf, asphalt plant and rail depot at Dagenham, a wharf and ready-mixed concrete plant at Victoria Deep Water Terminal (Greenwich), a floating ready-mixed concrete plant at Canary Wharf and a wharf and readymixed concrete plant at Wandsworth.

Volumes of marine-dredged sand and gravel through the Dagenham wharf held up well during 2011 as the London construction market remained relatively buoyant despite the government’s spending cuts. Major projects such as Crossrail, Thames Gateway and The Shard have absorbed large quantities of construction aggregates and concrete.

The outlook looks a little less optimistic, with construction activity in London and the South East forecast to fall in 2012 and 2013 before picking up again the following year.

Rail is crucial to Hanson’s operations. Crushed rock from the Mendips is imported into the Dagenham terminal to feed the site’s two asphalt plants, which make road surfacing materials for local roads, trunk routes and the motorway network. There is also a ready-mixed concrete plant on the site. Around 500,000 tonnes of marinedredged sand and gravel from the eastern English Channel and the North Sea is exported by rail to depots at

Acton, Brentford, Theale and Bow. From there it is transferred to Hanson’s network of ready-mixed concrete plants located within the M25.

The non-tidal Dagenham operation, which receives vessels 24 hours a day, also incorporates a recycling depot and a bagging facility supplying bagged aggregates to the DIY and small construction sector.

A barge-loading facility is used for the onward transportation of sands, gravels and limestone up the Thames to the ready-mixed concrete plants at Greenwich, Canary Wharf and Wandsworth.

Industrial Chemicals Industrial Chemicals Ltd has operated in the Thurrock area since 1976 and purchased its 80-acre site at the former West Thurrock Power Station 14 years ago.

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

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

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

In 2011, West Thurrock Jetty saw a slight increase in the volume of products handled across the jetty when compared to the previous year’s throughput, handling 150,000 tonnes in 2010 and

155,000 tonnes in 2011. The signs are even more promising for the jetty in 2012, with several new commodities for inhouse processing under consideration.

Situated only two miles from Junction 30/31 of the M25 and also close to the Dartford Crossing, with deep water and sufficient storage land, the facility offers an ideal location for serving end-markets both north and south of the Thames for interested third-party customers.

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

Lafarge Aggregates and Concretes Lafarge Aggegates & Concrete operates several facilities along the Thames, including operations at Greenhithe, Thurrock and Belvedere, which between them distribute almost 1 million tonnes of aggregate throughout the area by road and rail.

Lafarge’s wharves are a major source of the aggregates supplied for the M25 widening.

Greenhithe processes sea-dredged sand and gravel for use in building projects across the region. The facility’s £1.5 million ship-to-shore conveyor won the Quarry Products Association’s

Safety Award for Innovation in 2005, for a whole range of measures to minimise operational hazards.

This includes a clever system for ensuring that maintenance can be conducted safely. Greenhithe and Belvedere also have ready-mix concrete plants.

Lafarge’s distribution hub at West Thurrock combines a deepwater wharf with rail-loading facilities and excellent access to the local road network. The wharf allows ships to discharge at all times, regardless of the tide. The material is then processed on the site ready for onward distribution by road,

rail or river.

Belvedere Wharf is used to bring highPSV stone (used in road surfacing because of its skid-resistant properties) into the heart of London.

Lafarge is a world leader in building materials and prides itself on product innovation and customer service. It is also the only company in its sector to appear in the global top 100 most sustainable companies. In the UK, the company’s Aggregates & Concrete business has consistently been the safest in the industry in recent years.

annum throughput, capitalising on the site’s deepwater wharfage (42 Wharf), and the site’s proximity to London.

Lafarge Cement’s vision for the future is gathering further momentum with a major investment in the reconnection of rail freight facilities to the main north Kent line.

Lafarge expects the rail sidings to be operational from mid-February 2012.

The first main user of the restored line will be Crossrail, which will be transporting excavated material from

the western tunnel bore at Royal Oak, near Paddington, by train to Northfleet, for onward transportation by ship for beneficial reuse at the RSPB reserve at Wallasea Island.

Recent investment in the site had already reached £15 million and completion of the rail link will see this figure almost doubled. The linkage of the site to the main line represents another important step in the regeneration and redevelopment of Northfleet embankment.

Lafarge Cement Lafarge’s Northfleet site covers around 42 hectares or 104 acres in total, equivalent to around 52 football pitches.

Lafarge’s masterplan for Northfleet allows for the provision of essential materials for the built environment and their transport to and from the site by river, road and rail. An onsite cement import terminal has already been constructed and is operational. Planning permission was issued by Kent County Council for a bulk aggregates import terminal of three million tonnes per

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 2011, with volumes up as it supplied aggregates to several major construction projects.

Red Lion Wharf, which is owned by Stema, has a 220-metre jetty with depth alongside of 7 metres and six acres of open storage for imported aggregates.

About 750,000 tonnes of sand, gravel and aggregates from Stema’s own quarries in Norway, and sand from Denmark, are imported through this facility. Of this, about 150,000 tonnes goes back out by barge, and the company is looking at ways of increasing this.

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

Stema invested about £95 million

upgrading Jelsa Quarry to an output of 11 million tonnes a year. Work was completed in August 2010, and this is now the largest coastal aggregates quarry in the world. The company took delivery of three new 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.

Tarmac Limited Tarmac has three terminals on the Thames, at Charlton and Erith.

Murphy’s Wharf in Charlton is ideally placed to supply east and central London, being located on the south side of the River Thames near the Blackwall Tunnel. It is believed to be the largest marine aggregate terminal in Europe in terms of output, regularly producing in excess of 1.8 million tonnes per year in recent years, although the economic slowdown saw volumes drop to 1.3 million tonnes in 2011. The site is capable of operating 24/7 and is complemented by an onsite concrete plant which supplies readymix concrete into the local market.

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

Murphy’s completed supplies to the Olympic athletes’ village in August 2010, having supplied over 200,000 tonnes in 18 months. A major new project will be supplying aggregates to the T2B terminal at Heathrow.

Investment at Murphy’s Wharf peaked at £1.8 million in 2011, with further capital projects expected to reach £1.4 million in 2012.

Riverside Wharf benefited from £200,000 of investment in 2011, and another £150,000 investment project is planned for 2012. Throughput was about 70,000 tonnes in 2011. The site

complements Mulberry Wharf asphalt plant in Belvedere particularly, providing flexibility for out-of-hours operations.

Pioneer Wharf, further downriver, is well placed to support Murphy’s Wharf and to supply Kent and south/east London markets. It handled 230,000 tonnes in 2011.

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

Tilbury Power Station Tilbury Power Station went through a complete conversion from coal burning to biomass in 2011, and now produces 750 MW of green power, which is fed into the National Grid system.

RWE npower invested several million pounds in the conversion, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the power station by 80% and also

dramatically reduce SOx and NOx emissions.

In the first year it expects to burn 2.5 million tonnes of wood pellets and 50,000 tonnes of Tall oil, with about 80% of shipped from North America and 20% from Europe, all delivered on a just-intime basis. The conversion included the fitting of two Vigan vacuum unloaders

which move wood pellets from the vessel at 500 tonnes/hour.

The first power station of its size to convert 100% to biomass, Tilbury will go through an 8,000-hour trial, when fuel quality and availability will be tested. If successful, it could be relicensed in 2013.

T & L Sugars The T & L Sugars Thames Refinery at Silvertown is one of the largest cane sugar refineries in the world. The 13.6 hectare site processes 160 tonnes of raw sugar an hour, with an annual output of up to one million tonnes. There is bulk storage for 65,000 tonnes, together with 2,000 tonnes of storage capacity for palletised refined sugar for export.

The 161-metre raw sugar jetty has a minimum depth of 10 metres at low water and receives approximately 50 vessels each year in a range of sizes from 4,000 to 58,000 dwt.

Raw sugar is imported by Tate & Lyle

from a variety of Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Least Developed Countries (LDC) and Most Favoured Nations (MFN) suppliers which are granted preferential access to the European Union, together with sugar from world market suppliers such as Brazil.

Refined sugar is transported directly to domestic retail and industrial buyers from the site, either packed or as bulk dry and liquid products, or it is exported by ship or container worldwide. The 48-metre export jetty can handle vessels of more than 3,000 dwt. A new crane for this jetty has now been commissioned.

Dry Bulks TERMINAL FACTFILES

The raw sugar jetty is equipped with two cranes, each with a capacity of 16 tonnes, installed in 2007 at a cost of ÂŁ6 million. These, together with current stevedoring arrangements, ensure that raw sugar discharge at the refinery is a world-class operation.

Tate & Lyle is committed to supporting Fairtrade, and sugar cane growers in Belize, Guyana and Fiji are already enjoying the benefits of the premiums paid to them over and above the normal prices for raw sugar they deliver to the refinery.

PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2012

Port of Tilbury As the Port of Tilbury celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2011, of course this multimodal, multipurpose hub had a proud history to look back on. But the focus was also very much on the future, as its Project NEXT first gained the support of the local planning committee and then, in November 2011, got the go-ahead from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.

Project NEXT is the name for the development of 30 hectares of land to the north of Tilbury’s existing port estate; it will be a critical part of the port’s future, as it expands to meet growing demand.

WE’VE INVESTED MORE

Last year, we launched the first of two brand new ferries on our Dover-Calais route. The second is expected to enter service in Q1 2012. They are to be the biggest on the Channel and have the best facilities for commercial drivers around.

Our Tilbury (London)-Zeebrugge route is ideally situated for freight too. You’ll be 13 miles from Central London or 6 miles from M25 junction 30 – ideal for Olympic projects.

Your journey just got better.
