"SOME 25 miles east of London, on the site of a former oil refinery, the
biggest infrastructure project most people have never heard of is under
way.
"The port’s developer is DP World, the third-biggest ports company in the
world, and owned by the emirate of Dubai. It is also building one of
Europe’s largest logistics parks next to the docks.
"At the new port, containers can be transferred straight to warehouses,
with the cargo leaving in smaller loads going directly to the
south-east’s shops. London Gateway claims this will save millions of
miles of lorry journeys, equivalent to taking 2,000 vehicles a day off
Britain’s roads."
