Part 1: Inside London Gateway – 6 months on!Getting an inside view of a modern container port seems pretty impossible – until Shipping TV and DP World London Gateway got together to show you how it all works.

Here’s part 1, as boxes on trucks and trains enter and leave the port estate:




The Port of Felixstowe has said it has managed to hold on to its customers since the launch of London Gateway.
The £1.5bn facility at Thurrock, Essex, is 20 miles (32km) down the River Thames from London and opened in November.

The Port of Felixstowe has said it has managed to hold on to its customers since the launch of London Gateway.

None of the Port of Felixstowe's main customers are yet to leave Felixstowe for London Gateway, but engineering director Andrew Bowen is not overly concerned.
"We're growing as planned," he said.
"We started in November with one service, we're now up to six services. The shipping lines are very keen and interested in the product we deliver here at London Gateway."
Neil Davidson, from Drewry Shipping Consultants, said it was "still early days" in the ports' rivalry.
BBC Look East's business correspondent Richard Bond reports.

Felixstowe port dredging for larger container ships



I worked at London Gateway in the very first year of the project.
I remember many senior managers claiming that the port was likely to create thousands of job and people were being fired every day.
I have seen at least thirty colleagues being brutally fired and I decided to leave myself because I was unable to cope with that and was drinking almost every evening coming back home from the office.
This people are always talking rubbish....the day they will fall it will be a good day for me.
