Tilbury2 Ro-Ro opening

After a year of construction, the UK's newest and largest unaccompanied freight roll on/roll off (ro-ro) terminal, located at the edge of London, has opened for business.

The 500,00 unit freight-only facility will operate in exclusive partnership with P&O Ferries and will inject state-of-the-art capacity into the country's ports sector by utilising a truck driver-free operation at a time when infection control is uppermost in everyone's mind.

The bespoke terminal will import and export containers and trailers with vital supplies for the UK, including food, drink and medicines to and from continental Europe on P&O's busy Tilbury-Zeebrugge freight route.

The new ro-ro terminal is part of a £250 million investment by owner, Forth Ports. The terminal is trusted trader Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) accredited and embraces the latest booking and border technology, such as number plate recognition, which ensures that the terminal is Brexit-ready to continue the smooth passage of goods, regardless of the eventual EU-UK settlement.

GRAHAM completed the marine works in April and successful ship trials were carried out on 17 May.
