Posted 22 Mar 2016

Maritime Transport Limited (Maritime) is delighted to announce the opening of the very first transport depot at DP World London Gateway.

 

Situated on London’s doorstep and boasting six deep-water berths, DP World London Gateway’s capability to deal with the worlds largest container vessels means it will undoubtedly become a major player in the UK container industry. As such Maritime’s decision to open up there was an easy one to make:   

 

“The decision to open at DP World London Gateway complements our network growth plans,” said Simon Smart, Managing Director – Container Transport. “The developments at London Gateway continue to impress and have added another UK port option for our customers. Naturally, as a multi-port operator we wanted to have a substantial presence at the dock which we have achieved with this centre, the first of its kind.”

 

Maritime’s depot puts them in a prime position to capitalise on the future growth of the port with their three-acre site able to house 60 trucks and trailers.
