London Gateway

London Gateway is a major new development under construction on the north bank of the River Thames in Thurrock, Essex. It comprises a large new deep-water port, which is able to handle the biggest container ships in the world, as well as one of Europe’s largest logistics parks, providing access by road and railways to London and the rest of Great Britain. The complex will make use of technology to maximise productivity and reduce costs for shipping lines and the logistics industries. The project is being undertaken by DP World, one of the largest marine terminal operators in the world. wiki "Laing O'Rourke is principal contractor, currently working alongside Dredging International to deliver this unique development, located just 25 miles from central London."
