FOREWORD W from the Chief Executive

Foreword The Port of London is a great place to do business. The tidal Thames gives shippers easy access to the biggest market in the country through facilities able to handle a diverse mix of cargoes.

As the Port of London Authority (PLA) enters its second century, our focus remains on helping you make the most of the river. What sets us apart is our focus on making sure you get the most efficient, timely service possible, whether for pilotage, hydrographic surveys, simulator work or licensing. 2009 was a difficult year for the global economy, but we see reasons for optimism in London. Large projects including the Olympics, Crossrail and the Thames Tideway Tunnels promise to drive growth in the use of the river. And investment in facilities and vessels on the river continues, with new container cranes and new passenger vessels being delivered. We are working to support this underlying confidence by holding our charges for 2010 at the same level as last year. This Handbook is an easy to use first step to help people looking to use the Thames â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either as a base for operations or as somewhere to send cargo through. Whatever your interest, I would urge you to get in touch. After a century of service on the tidal Thames, we are passionate experts on the river. Our harbour master, planning, pilotage and marine services teams are happy to discuss and help with what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working to achieve on the river. We hope to welcome you soon to a positive future on the Thames.

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

INTRODUCTION W Why London?

Why London? Let’s make a list! WHY USE THE PORT OF LONDON?

Because London offers the most diverse, successful, well-connected, well-equipped and service-oriented cluster of port facilities. Because London is on the doorstep of the biggest consumer market in the UK. Because 70 dedicated, specialised terminal and wharf operations all along the Thames have the undoubted experience that comes from being part of the UK’s second busiest port by volume. And because, backing up the location, expertise, experience and range of facilities, the PLA offers an unrivalled portfolio of services – pilotage, vessel traffic services, marine services, hydrographic surveying, diving – which truly set it apart in a highly competitive market. Operators looking at London can be sure of the very best support from the PLA, which will: • Help shippers to find out which facilities and shipping lines match their needs and aspirations; • Assist clients in experimenting with planned jetty extensions or the handling of larger ships in absolute safety on our advanced ship manoeuvring simulator; • Offer the support of a dedicated hydrographic surveying team, equipped with some of the best kit in the business; • Keep a close eye on environmental issues, which sit at the top of the agenda for the PLA; • Support shippers in their “green” aspirations, with the advantage of a direct route – the Thames – into the heart of the busy London market. The Port of London has not escaped the impact of the recession – throughput for 2009 was around 45 million tonnes, compared to 53 million tonnes in 2008. Volumes were sharply down at the start of 2009 but did improve and stabilise at a better level in the second half. But despite this downturn, London still remains clearly the second most important UK port by volume – and there is no room for compromise. Safety

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

and efficiency remain paramount and, in these times of crisis, the PLA understands that port users must be able to rely on the very best levels of service. With a smile, of course. The Port of London Authority, which celebrated its centenary in 2009, is responsible for the safety of navigation along 95 miles of the tidal River Thames, from Teddington Lock to the estuary. It has statutory responsibility for protecting the marine environment, promoting the use of the river, and ensuring the security and safety of port operations. “As an organisation we clearly have a regulatory role – but we are also very much a service provider,” says PLA chief executive Richard Everitt. “Our mission

is to provide the best services while operating within that regulatory framework; we are continuously looking for ways in which we can improve our services.” In line with this, a key project has been the introduction of the PLA’s PISCES system (Port Information System for Coordinating End-to-End Services) for managing port users’ requests for services, particularly pilotage. By encouraging customers to submit their requests electronically via PISCES, the PLA is looking to establish a single, reliable source of information, in order to improve efficiency and reduce wasted effort for service providers within the Port. In recognition of the difficult time

being faced by shipping lines and other port users, the PLA will be freezing its charges for 2010. And in another important development, the PLA has embarked on a revision of its Tug Code which may help cut costs for some port users. The PLA also remains strongly committed to protecting the environment and wildlife on the Thames; its unique partnership with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is a clear demonstration of this. And the Thames itself has an important role to play in the search for “green” solutions for transport and logistics. Where else in the UK can you find there a free, uncongested “motorway” right to the centre of such a huge population?

“THE PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY, WHICH CELEBRATED ITS CENTENARY IN 2009, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF NAVIGATION ALONG 95 MILES OF THE TIDAL RIVER THAMES, FROM TEDDINGTON LOCK TO THE ESTUARY.

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

INTRODUCTION W Why London?

About 2 million tonnes of cargo is carried up and down the river every year and this volume could treble in the next few years. The Crossrail project will generate enormous volumes of spoil and construction materials with movements of materials due to commence in late 2010. Crossrail has signed an agreement with the PLA confirming its commitment to use barges and vessels to move more than 5 million tonnes of excavated materials out of London along the Thames. That is the equivalent of taking

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

half a million lorry journeys off the roads. The Thames Tideway tunnels project is also expected to make significant use of the river for removing spoil and importing construction materials. And then there are the London Olympics; most of the major aggregatesrelated construction work for the event is near to completion – but next will come the fitting out and equipping stages. The materials and goods required for this are expected to boost container volumes, particularly into Tilbury Container Services, and there is an ideal

opportunity to bring much of this to the Stratford site by water. Along the Thames, the PLA remains committed to its policy of “safeguarded wharves” – as more and more shippers look for environmentally friendly supply chain solutions, these are the very facilities they will need. 2009 was a tough year for most and the challenging economic climate led to DP World’s London Gateway container terminal being put “on hold”. However, in October the European Commission’s 3500m package of TEN-T funding,

announced as part of its response to the economic crisis, included 314.17 million towards the dredging and reclamation works required for the new port. And in January this year, DP World confirmed that the London Gateway development was ready to move forward once again. During 2009, meanwhile, work had continued on the construction of a new jetty for Shellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bitumen and aviation fuel imports, to replace the older jetty that will be demolished to make way for the container port. And other investments

INTRODUCTION W Why London?

have continued at many facilities within the Port of London. • CEMEX commissioned a new 1.2 million tonne capacity cement grinding and blending plant at the Port of Tilbury. This £49 million project, the largest in the UK cement industry for five years, increased CEMEX UK’s cement capacity by 20% and has positioned the group perfectly to serve major construction projects in the Thames Gateway. • At the Tate & Lyle Sugars’ Thames Refinery in Silvertown, one of the largest cane sugar refineries in the world, construction of a £20 million biomass boiler on the riverfront was completed, and a new crane commissioned. • Tilbury Container Services (TCS) is due to take delivery of two Liebherr super post-panamax cranes in the second quarter of 2010; preparation work for their arrival has included refurbishing two older panamax cranes and moving them from the riverside quay to the in-dock berth. TCS also took delivery of six new Kalmar straddle carriers last year (2009), one of which is a special environmentally friendly model now going through trials. • The Port of Tilbury has already invested £1.25 million in facilities for P&O Ferries, which has seen tremendous growth on its TilburyZeebrugge ro-ro freight service, operated from inside the locks, since its launch in July 2007. Now the port is drawing up plans for a second riverside ro-ro berth, which would be used by P&O. • The PLA is trialling the catamaran Lambeth, a revolutionary new patrol boat built by Alnmaritec and part of a £2 million fleet upgrade programme. The Port of London is strongly positioned, perfectly equipped – and ready for the upturn, when it comes.

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

Doing the maths THE Port of London plays a vital role not just in the nation’s supply chains but also in the national and local economies. Research completed by SQW Consulting and published in 2009 showed that: • Port of London terminals and related shipping activities and services generate more than 46,000 full-time jobs; • The port contributes a staggering £3.7 billion to the economy every year; • Some £4.8 billion of investments are planned within the port over the next ten years.

The wide diversity of cargoes handled through London has been a particularly strong point in the current downturn, with the port not too heavily reliant on one sector. Equally, the jobs linked to the port are hugely varied, including manufacturing workers, cargo handlers, drivers, warehouse staff and ships’ agents.

DEEPSEA & SHORTSEA W part of daily life

Deepsea & shortsea - part of daily life 12

HOW many people realistically give the Port of London a thought when they wake up in their nice warm house and enjoy a hot shower and a reviving cup of tea, possibly with sugar in? Do they think of quaysides and cranes as they munch on cereal, toast and butter while reading the newspaper? Do they consider tankers and pipelines as they set out in their car and drive to work via the petrol station? Probably not. But if they did ask the questions . . . • Where did the power come from to light and heat my house, or provide that hot water? • Who imported the grain for my cereal and toast? • How did that butter make its way from New Zealand to my breakfast table? • Which ship brought the reels of newsprint on which I read today’s headlines? • How did my Korean car get to the UK, and why is there petrol in the pumps? . . . the common thread through all of the answers would be: The Port of London. A huge variety of products are shipped into the Port of London from destinations all over the world, and without them, life for millions of people would be very different indeed. Let’s start with power. Some 1.5 million tonnes of coal are shipped into Tilbury Power Station every year, which produces enough electricity for the needs of a million people. RWE npower imports coal using panamax size ships of up to 70,000 tonnes capacity – mainly from the Baltic, particularly from Russia and the Latvian port of Riga; coal has also been delivered from the Far East, South America, Australia, the US and South Africa. The Coryton Refinery, owned by Petroplus, is one of the largest refineries

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

in Europe – processing 172,000 barrels of crude per day, with additional throughput capacity of up to 70,000 barrels per day of other feedstocks. Production is split roughly equally between gasoline and diesel; products are distributed via the refinery’s own on-site truck-loading rack, railcar loading facilities, pipeline and marine facilities.

Vopak specialises in the storage and handling of petroleum products and also offers fuel blending at its Thames site. And a wide variety of other liquid bulks and chemicals are imported and blended at facilities such as TDG’s Dagenham plant, Nustar and Oikos Storage’s Canvey Island site, which handles aviation fuel, petroleum

products and chemicals. TDG also handles hard and soft vegetable and edible oils, for food production. At Purfleet, Pura Foods imports about 300,000 tonnes of edible oils a year, including sunflower, rapeseed, palm and coconut – serving Unilever’s margarine factory immediately next door and a wide range of food

FROM FROZEN MEAT TO LIQUID BULKS, FROM SUGAR TO CEMENT, THE PORT OF LONDON OFFERS A HUGE RANGE OF EXPERTISE IN HANDLING EVERY TYPE OF CARGO.

manufacturing factories in the UK and overseas. And so to that newspaper – or office paper, or letter, or birthday card. London is the UK’s largest hub for the import of newsprint and other reeled papers, as well as board, pulp, plywood, timber and other forest products used in furniture, building and other sectors. Forest products make their way into London’s specialist terminals via both deepsea and shortsea services. Cars, too, are a major business in London – Hyundai, which has seen UK sales rocket in recent years, has a dedicated operation at the Port of Tilbury. Other marques arrive into the port via shortsea ro-ro services operated by Cobelfret, while most of the 1.2 million diesel engines manufactured each year at Ford’s Dagenham Engine Plant are shipped to vehicle assembly plants throughout Europe. And parallel to the many finished products handled by the port are the raw and semi-finished products that are essential to major construction projects and to everyday life – aggregates and steel, including coil, rebar and structural steel, which are imported through a large number of specialist terminals on the Thames. Of course, many of London’s imports arrive in unitised form – via shortsea or deepsea containerlines, or by roll-on/ roll-off services into terminals such as CdMR Purfleet or facilities served by P&O, Grimaldi, Transfennica and DFDS. From nappies to table tennis bats – you name it and it’s probably been in a box or trailer arriving into the Port of London. Many of the major supermarket chains have huge warehousing and distribution centres close to the Thames, once again underlining London’s critical position at the hub of so many supply chains. A figure often quoted is that 95% of the UK’s imports arrive by sea. It’s good to remember that a great deal of them arrive via the Thames.

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

Food is big business at Tilbury Container Services. TCS specialises in north/south deepsea trades, and in particular in frozen and refrigerated cargoes. It has benefited from the increasing trend to ship fresh produce in containers; Reefer boxes now make up 17-18% of overall volume although

this can be over 20% at peak periods. Australian and New Zealand meat has been shipped into London for well over 100 years, and TCS remains the UK hub for refrigerated foodstuffs – including meat, butter, cheese and fruit. Tilbury Grain Terminal, meanwhile, is one of the largest

grain facilities in the UK, handling wheat, barley, peas, beans and rapeseed exports, and wheat, maize and soya bean imports. It is accredited to handle wheat products by the Organic Food Federation and has drying and blending facilities and other processing options.

Another important food facility is the Tate & Lyle Sugars Thames Refinery (shown below) at Silvertown, one of the largest cane sugar refineries in the world. The refinery processes 160 tonnes of raw sugar an hour and its annual output is about 1 million tonnes. Raw sugar is imported from a variety of African, Caribbean and Pacific

Least Developed Countries (LDC) and Most Favoured Nations (MFN) and from world market suppliers such as Brazil. The refined sugar is transported directly to domestic retail and industrial buyers or exported by ship to customers all over the world.

LONDON GATEWAY W the perfect package

London Gateway: the perfect package 16

THE LONDON GATEWAY, the UK’s newest port, is on its way. And when it’s complete, it will offer a package that’s hard to beat: • 2,750 metres of quay • Six deepwater berths • Depth alongside of 17 metres • 24 quay cranes • 175 hectares of terminal area • A brand new 9 million sq ft warehousing and logistics park next door • All on a brownfield site and just 25 miles from central London! The severity of the economic downturn unsurprisingly led to a pause in progress last year as owner DP World reviewed its options worldwide. But now the £1.5 billion London Gateway is very much back on track. Dredgers have been mobilised and work is beginning on the construction of the largest development within the Port of London for well over 100 years. Uncertainty through much of 2009 was followed by some key developments: In October, the European Union’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme announced a series of infrastructure investments in response to the economic crisis – including an award of 314.17 million towards the London Gateway dredge and reclamation works. In early January, DP World announced that it had decided to proceed with construction of the essential infrastructure to lay the foundations of the London Gateway development – including dredging and using dredged materials for the reclamation side of the project at the former Shellhaven refinery, on the north bank of the Thames. This was followed by a visit to the London Gateway site by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson – a significant vote of confidence in the project. In mid January pre-dredging survey work began. DP World had already awarded a £400 million contract for the first phase

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

of the London Gateway to a consortium led by Laing O’Rourke and Dredging International. The first phase requires material from the dredge for the quay reclamation work. “When complete, London Gateway will provide the UK with modern, efficient infrastructure while at the same time reducing CO2 emissions and supply chain costs,” said DP World chairman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem. “By starting the major elements of construction, we ensure maximum flexibility to develop the project efficiently in line with market demand.” To be built in phases, the London Gateway will eventually offer annual capacity of 3.5 million teu. It is unique in terms of its size, scale and proximity to the UK’s busiest markets. The positioning of this world-class deepwater container terminal, alongside what will be Europe’s largest logistics park will allow shippers and distributors to create efficient, environmentally friendly supply chain solutions. There will be less need to truck containers inland to distribution centres, because the distribution centres will be there, “on the doorstep”. DP World estimates that the London Gateway could lead to savings of more than 60 million HGV miles per year, which equates to an annual reduction of 148,000 tonnes of carbon emissions a year. As well as being ideally placed to serve the busy southeast of the UK, the London Gateway will serve as a hub for feeder operations to tranship containers to other ports around the country.

Environment Environmental issues took centre stage through the planning stages of the London Gateway, and have continued to top the agenda throughout 2009 and into 2010. DP World’s commitment to protection of wildlife and the environment has featured one of the largest relocations of animal species ever undertaken.

More than 50,000 creatures – water voles, great crested newts, grass snakes, adders and lizards – have been moved to new, specially created habitats. New intertidal mudflats for wading birds have been created to replace those that are within the port development area. Sometimes, however, one

environmentally friendly action leads to another. Work to create a new protected area for wildlife and rare birds at Mucking Creek, five miles from the port, unearthed some 2,000-year-old Roman remains – and the archaeologists were called in. They discovered Iron Age and Roman salt-making sites, thought to be some of the earliest evidence of

industrial activity in Britain. All the work has been carefully recorded and items of interest will be put on display in local museums and used for teaching local school children about the area’s past. For more information, visit the London Gateway website: www.londongateway.com

INLAND WATERWAYS W The River’s Renaissance

The River’s Renaissance 22

IT is the UK’s biggest inland waterway, offering a congestion-free route into the centre of the UK’s largest population – and increasingly, shippers, wharf operators and logistics planners are understanding and exploiting the huge part that the River Thames can play in costefficient, low-carbon supply chains. Nearly 2 million tonnes of cargoes, including aggregates, petroleum products, containers, household refuse and construction spoil, are carried up and down the Thames every year, removing thousands of trucks from the capital’s roads, and the PLA believes this figure could triple within a very short amount of time. Key opportunities including Crossrail and other major infrastructure projects are clearly driving great interest in transport by water; but alongside these, there is an increasing desire to make the most of the river as a transport solution. Jim Trimmer, the PLA’s head of planning and partnerships, says a major part of his job is facilitating the “river’s renaissance”. “We do spend a lot of time convincing people that transport on the Thames isn’t something sepia-tinted, with people raising their hats to each other on London Bridge,” he says. “The scale of things on the river now is entirely different from that seen fifty years ago. Industry is different. Today, 50,000 tonne ships are handled at Tate & Lyle’s refinery at Silvertown. But the justification for using the Thames is the same as it was 2,000 years ago. It is a hugely attractive option because it’s predictable, it’s free from congestion, and the tide provides an environmentally friendly boost to ships.” Some feared that “green” supply chain aspirations would falter in the face of recession, but Jim Trimmer says that the opposite is true. In difficult times, people are often more open to new and innovative ways of doing things. “In this difficult economic climate, people are taking time to consider whether there are new ways of doing things – and we are starting to see the results,” he says. “Certainly we haven’t

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

Crossrail project... 23

Crossrail has signed a memorandum of understanding with the PLA to maximise the use of the River Thames and the Port of London in its construction. The current proposals will see the transport of at least five million tonnes of spoil from the tunnelling stages of the project out of London by river. The river will also play a vital role in the transport inwards of massive tunnel

boring machines, pre-cast concrete segments, aggregates, cement, steel rails, cable, tiles, tools and equipment required in the construction of the new rail route. “This is effectively one of Europe’s largest civil engineering projects, taking place in a city with a river running through it,” says Jim Trimmer. “The solution is obvious.”

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

INLAND WATERWAYS W The River’s Renaissance

seen enquiries about wharfage, industrial developments and the use of the upper river decreasing; if anything, these enquiries are going up. And we are seeing new sectors looking at innovative ways of using the river. “At the PLA, we are responsible for navigation and marine matters – but we can also help coordinate a lot of commercial activities and proposals, and bring all the parties together to turn ideas into reality.” The Thames can accommodate barges of nearly 1,000 tonnes capacity as far upriver as Fulham – and that is the equivalent of over 60 HGV movements. And as Jim Trimmer points out, the increasing base load of materials moving in and out of London by water is creating a critical mass for barge operations and encouraging others to consider the river as an integral part of their logistics. “There is a good deal of interest in energy projects, for example – including energy-from-waste and other technologies. There is a real focus on environmentally friendly technologies and the river is ideally suited for the necessary feedstocks.” Overall, says Jim Trimmer, various projects are looking to use riverside facilities at locations that haven’t seen freight for years. It will take a while – these things don’t happen overnight – but steadily the PLA is seeing operators looking to take advantage of the increasing synergies that are emerging. But there is far more to the river than rubbish. Two years ago, a major supermarket chain ran trials running barges of containers upriver to its West London stores. Work is continuing to develop this concept and he is optimistic that the planning already undertaken on the project will bear fruit. Two proposals for wood pelletisation projects are in the planning process, and two more are seeking potential wharfage sites. The river is only one part of the equation – the other essential factor is having the landside facilities in the right places. “It is all about getting the

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

infrastructure right. If we are to have any sustainable increase in freight on the river, we need to ensure that viable infrastructure is protected,” says Jim Trimmer. This is where the PLA’s muchadmired system of safeguarding wharves comes into its own. “Safeguarding is absolutely right,” he says. “But allied to that, we need to bring wharves back into operation or, in some cases, use them more intensively. Some are being held back from the cargo-handling market, but the PLA remains committed to the policy of safeguarding wharves for operational use and, where necessary intervening to

ensure that they are reactivated.” At present there are 50 safeguarded wharves in London, stretching all the way from Wandsworth to the eastern boundary of the city. “We have to maintain a very strong planning policy and we have worked with the Mayor of London to ensure that this remains the case in the capital. We have had victories in this battle against other developments on these strategic sites – but they are only very important staging posts in the longer game to make use of water. The river can transport more freight than it does now, but we need to ensure that there are sites to handle it.”

More news... • Aggregate Industries operates a fleet of tugs and barges through its Bennett’s Barges business. In 2008, Bennett’s Barges transported more than 150,000 tonnes of aggregate products from the Isle of Grain depot to its Thames customers, saving six million lorry miles. • Plans to bring aviation fuel from Coryton Refinery to London City Airport by river instead of road are being investigated. Fuel could be unloaded by pipeline direct from the vessel to a new tank farm near the airport.

• The Tideway Tunnel project will also ship out spoil by river, and a condition of the project’s planning approval was also to bring in building materials by vessel. • A good proportion of the biomass required for the power plant at Tate & Lyle’s Silvertown sugar refinery will come in by river. • Cory Environmental’s waste-to-energy plant is swiftly taking shape at Belvedere.

CRUISE W Capital cruising

Capital cruising 26

LONDON – as cruise destinations go, it’s hard to beat! Cruise ships can head up the Thames and straight into the heart of the capital, offering their passengers an unforgettable experience, with unrivalled views of historic buildings and modern icons alike. In recent years, London has welcomed a series of prestigious cruise callers, including The World and, at Tilbury, become firmly established on regular cruise schedules. And now, with the 2012 Olympics putting the spotlight firmly on London, there is huge renewed interest in what this unique city can offer the cruise sector. The Port of London Authority provides a variety of mooring and terminal options for cruise ships, including the use of the world’s first floating cruise terminal, Welcome, which was designed and purpose-built by the PLA and offers great flexibility for users. Greenwich Ship Tier can accommodate vessels up to 240 metres in length, while specialist, smaller vessels, can continue even further upriver to the Pool of London – sailing through Tower Bridge and mooring alongside HMS Belfast, directly opposite the Tower of London. With 2012 in mind, the PLA has been working to identify additional moorings for cruise ships, to complement those already available. Some of these will be temporary to meet the increased demand for the Olympics, but the PLA is also assessing locations where permanent new facilities might be developed in the future. Alongside this, of course, remains the determination to make the most of what London and the Thames already has; the PLA continues to promote the river to the cruise industry, and works closely with cruise operators to identify their needs and ensure that the very best package of services is provided. This includes offering general advice, planning support, security information and on-berth services, as well as coordinating the range of marine services such as pilotage, vessel traffic services, towage and mooring.

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

London handles every type of cruise business, from short package-style cruise “hops” to the most exclusive vacation voyages. The city is served by five international airports – Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City – and also benefits from excellent transport connections by road and rail, including direct Eurostar rail links to

Paris and Brussels. All of this adds up to an enviable “London package” for the cruise sector. Cruise activities upriver are complemented by those at the Port of Tilbury, where cruise ships call at the listed 1930s-built London International Cruise Terminal. Tilbury is an established port of call for cruise ships, both for day calls and

turnround calls (the start and finish of a cruise). The terminal handles between 25 and 30 calls a year, and is also getting ready for a big increase in the London Olympics year, with plans for a major refurbishment in time for 2012.

ENVIRONMENT W Conservation not conflict

Conservation not conflict 28

PARTNERSHIP has been the key word in the Port of London Authority’s environmental work in the past year. The first 12 months of a unique Partnership Agreement with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has delivered a detailed Conservation Management Framework – and attracted a great deal of interest from others in the ports industry. Historically many ports have seen a good deal of conflict with bodies seeking to protect environmental interests, but the PLA has taken the view that working with the environmental experts delivers much more positive results. Environmental issues have, of course, been a top priority for the PLA for many years. To put things in perspective, the Thames is not only home to the UK’s second biggest port – it also provides a diverse range of habitats supporting more than 50 species of waterfowl, including 12 that are internationally important, and it welcomes up to 300,000 over-wintering birds each year. Balancing the needs of birds, fish and other wildlife as well as plant life with those of commercial shipping, leisure boats and other recreational uses of the river is a major challenge. “This is the first river-wide partnership with the RSPB. One of the reasons we decided to team up with the organisation was that it does have a cross-regional presence in the estuary,” says PLA environment manager Katherine Harris. “We were already taking our environmental responsibilities seriously, but this partnership was taking things one step further.” The Partnership Agreement puts the emphasis on shared goals and resolving differences, and on this basis the PLA and RSPB will both look for projects on which they can work together. “The idea is to develop a coordinated view,” says Katherine Harris. Perhaps the most visible signs of the partnership in 2009 were the arrival at the PLA’s Gravesend offices of Steve Gilbert, the RSPB’s conservation

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

manager for the southeast region, to work alongside the PLA’s own environmental team on a six-month secondment – and the official launch of the project, at a well-attended event in the House of Commons in the summer.

Behind the scenes, work has progressed rapidly. The new Conservation Management Framework is now complete; developed with Steve Gilbert’s support, it is an overarching framework designed to help the PLA

carry out its operations and functions in the best way for conservation. “We certainly weren’t working from scratch – we were already doing a lot,” says Katherine Harris. “We needed to audit the various environmental

initiatives we already had in place and put together detailed information on the birds, fish and marine mammals using the river and estuary. We needed to establish where they were at particular times of the year, to help us

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

ENVIRONMENT W Conservation not conflict

make better decisions about the work we do and also the licensing of work to be done by others. The idea is to minimise the impact of such work on the wildlife and the environment – and it could just be a matter of timing.” The Framework, which is available on the PLA’s website, gives an overview of the PLA’s responsibilities under various pieces of legislation and regulation and puts forward a series of recommendations for action. “Some are very small-scale things that we can work into our procedures to minimise our impact on the environment,” says Katherine Harris. The next step has been integrating the Framework’s actions and recommendations into the work of all PLA departments. But it certainly doesn’t stop there. The plan is to review the Framework every year: “We expect to be working with the RSPB again in 2010 to see whether there is any new information, data or legislation that will lead to an update, and to review how we have done in the past year,” says Katherine Harris. The Framework is the first major piece of work that has come out of the RSPB partnership – but it is only one aspect. • The PLA and RSPB are in talks about the Crossrail project, including how the handling of spoil from the tunnelling works can be done with minimal impact on the environment; much of it will be used in a major RSPB project to re-profile Wallasea Island • There are plans to work together to carry out winter bird surveys in the river – the PLA providing the boat, and the RSPB providing staff and volunteers to count birds in the estuary at low tide. This information will be fed into the RSPB national survey programme. Crossrail MORE than 5 million tonnes of material excavated from the Crossrail project in London will be transported out via the Thames for use in landscaping projects, which include a new 1,500 acre nature reserve at

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

A model way of doing things Both the PLA and the RSPB hope that their partnership on the Thames might be a model that is transferable to other ports, says the RSPB’s Director of Operations, Mike Clarke. “Strategically, this has been a process of aligning objectives and developing a partnership which promotes the sustainable management of the Thames Estuary for the environment, the economy and people,” he says. “In terms of relationships, it has been a truly valuable opportunity for the RSPB to learn ‘first hand’ how a major port authority operates, and how it can be a positive influence on wildlife conservation. We hope that we have been able to add value to the PLA in fulfilling its statutory duties and the UK’s obligations under EU Directives.” The partnership has been a “huge shift” by conservationists and the port industry away from a relationship borne out of the adversarial nature of the planning system, he adds. “The RSPB and PLA now have a much better understanding, respect and common ground with each other. My colleagues and I value this a great deal. “At a personal level, I know that Steve Gilbert found his secondment hugely enjoyable and a really positive experience, and as an organisation we have appreciated the chance for one of our staff to gain professional development by working with such a significant organisation as the Port of London Authority.”

Wallasea Island in Essex. Crossrail has signed an agreement with the PLA confirming its commitment to use barges and vessels along the Thames to move the spoil out. If the five million tonnes were transported by road, it would add up to half a million truck journeys. London Gateway THE PLA is working closely with DP World in the creation of a new intertidal mud flats area to replace habitat that would be lost in the London Gateway development. DP has purchased an area of farmland upstream of the port development site; this is being lowered

and there are plans to breach the sea wall so that water can flow in and mud flats can build up. Personal Watercraft Code of Conduct In response to concerns about safety, disturbance of wildlife and damage to sensitive habitats, the PLA has drawn up a new Code of Conduct for personal watercraft users. The PLA worked closely with the personal watercraft community to develop the new Code, which has now been printed and distributed. The leaflets have been distributed through groups, clubs and suppliers, and also handed out at launch points,

supported by some strong promotional efforts. The response has been very positive; e-mails and letters have been received congratulating the PLA on a good piece of work. Dredging A new Dredging Spatial Information System (DSIS) developed by the PLA is now well established and providing an easily accessible exchange of information. The DSIS is an updated version of the PLA’s Information Exchange System, which was created to provide transparency, share information and provide a baseline of environmental data for the tidal Thames – all vital tools when it comes to making decisions on dredging licence applications. The PLA is the licensing authority for dredging operations within its area of jurisdiction, and works with organisations such as the Environment Agency, Natural England, the RSPB, the Kent and Essex Sea Fisheries Committee and the Thames Estuary Partnership in a unique Dredging Liaison Group to discuss dredging operations planned on the tidal Thames. “The new DSIS is up and running and working well,” says PLA environment manager Katherine Harris. “Information is regularly updated by the PLA and other DLG members.” HMS London HMS London, the warship that blew up and sank in the Thames estuary in 1665, with more than 300 lives lost, is now a designated wreck and protected under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. The wreck was found to be lying directly in the planned new channel for the London Gateway port development – so the channel was moved. “During the dredging of the channel, the dredgers will have to keep a certain distance away from the wreck,” says Katherine Harris. “This wreck is just too valuable to disturb at all – and its protection is written into all the work procedures.”

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

The Gresham Project 33

The Gresham Ship, a 16th century wreck discovered in 2003 during investigations for the Princes Channel deepening, is the subject of an extensive programme of research, lectures and conferences, called the Gresham Project. The project was set up by the PLA in association with University College London and other partners. When the wreck was first discovered, the PLA worked with maritime archaeologists from Wessex Archaeology to record the sections and recover a number of artefacts, including 40 iron bars, lead ingots, an anchor, Spanish olive jars, leather shoes and rope. There were also two cannon, one of which probably came from the Mayfield furnace of Sir Thomas Gresham, the Elizabethan financier and founder of the Royal Exchange. Sections of the Gresham Ship were raised and transported to Portsmouth, to be kept submerged in Horsea Lake (shown right under study).

HMS London took part in the First Dutch War (1652-53) and later formed part of an English squadron sent to collect Charles II from the Netherlands after the death of Oliver Cromwell in 1658. Lambeth talk The arrival of the catamaran Lambeth (shown left) on the Thames in 2009 signalled the start of a ÂŁ2 million investment which will replace seven older, heavier vessels with five new patrol boats that are revolutionary in design. Built by Alnmaritec, the Lambeth was built to the PLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, developed in partnership with experts at Newcastle University and naval architects Amgram. The boat went through extensive trials during the year

in order to iron out any glitches and identify necessary improvements that can be introduced to its sister vessels, which are due for delivery over the next three years. The Lambeth, officially named in June by Dr Sheila Fitzpatrick, trustee of the Marine Society and Sea Cadets, has shown significant savings in fuel consumption, and therefore carbon emissions, while the catamaran design produces a much lower wash than traditional launches. Because the new patrol boat fleet will be of a single design, maintenance and operations should also be easier and less costly, compared to working with the seven different vessels that they are replacing.

PILOTAGE W New directions

New directions 34

EXPERT pilotage is a key part of the integrated package of services offered by the Port of London Authority. And for most people on the “outside”, what the pilots actually do is probably the most easy to understand. Guiding some of the world’s largest ships to and from their berths requires immense skill and detailed knowledge of estuary, river, terminals, tides, depths, currents and weather. None of those basics have changed – but a great deal else has. Perhaps the word that best sums up the past year for the PLA’s pilotage services is “understanding”. “We have concentrated on a much improved information flow between the shipping lines, the agents, the berth operators and the pilotage team and we have continued to work towards a general improvement in customer awareness,” says marine pilotage manager Peter Steen. “We have been visiting our customers and asking for feedback and emphasising our role as a service provider.” The message is that the PLA is an authority with a small “a”, he says. “The improvements we have seen have come about through a greater understanding of our customers’ needs and also a better understanding by them of our requirements.” As commercial development manager Glenda Frost says: “We believe that our customers now understand why we need to know what we need to know. It isn’t just a case of demanding bits of information; they understand why we need it, and the knock-on effect of getting it wrong.” For example – late cancellation of a pilot for one ship not only costs money but can lead to delays for other vessels. The PLA has a team of 88 pilots, of whom five are duty port controllers and 12 are river pilots. London’s first female pilot, Jean Buckpitt, joined the team in January 2009. A key part of Optimising Pilotage has been bringing serving pilots “into the office” to support the management

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

operation. “This has helped to refine our procedures and improve our training,” says Peter Steen. Training programmes have been completely revised to reflect changing conditions, as well as to continue meeting requirements under the Port Marine Safety Code. It comes back to providing a quality service to the customer, he emphasises. Despite difficult times – clearly, the number of pilotage acts has fallen in line with the recession – the PLA is

committed to maintaining sufficient pilotage capability and, crucially, experience at the proper levels. “It takes roughly four years for a pilot to obtain Class 1 unrestricted status so our recruitment and training programme is focused on providing the right number of experienced and well trained pilots at the right time to best meet our customers’ needs,” says Peter Steen.

Simulator The PLA’s state-of-the-art ship bridge manoeuvring simulator (shown above), first installed at Gravesend in 2003, has more than proved its worth. In the past year, it has been through a major upgrade, which has delivered improved graphics and functionality. “The simulator was groundbreaking when it was first built and we are making more and more use of it,” says Peter Steen. The simulator has become a critical

PILOTAGE W New directions

part of pilot training, and the PLA has now introduced compulsory simulator sessions for Pilotage Exemption Certificate (PEC) holders for ships over a certain size, so that they can be assessed regularly. The simulator plays another important role – in planning. The PLA can use it to assess and plan for visits and often complex manoeuvres by large vessels – such as naval ships – coming up the river. And terminal and ship operators can make use of the simulator to assess proposals such as starting new trades, introducing larger ships or carrying out major berth developments. All of this can be supported by the pilots themselves, who can bring unrivalled expertise to any such discussions. “Our pilots are more involved in the PLA and its operations than they have ever been before,” says Peter Steen. “They sit on our navigational and hazard review panels where they bring their considerable experience and professional knowledge to the evaluation processes.” Communication matters The PLA has added marine resource management (MRM) courses to its pilot training programme. These courses focus on integrating with the bridge team of a ship. “There are increasing problems with language and standards on the bridge – globally, many accidents result from a lack of communication or not working as a team with the ship’s officers,” says Peter Steen. “We make sure our pilots focus on pilot/master exchange – they need to get information across to the master and get information from him and both need to be able to work together.” The PLA has hosted MRM courses which have also been attended by pilots from other port authorities. In addition, fire awareness and sea survival training, including man overboard exercises, are being introduced into the training schedule.

River Pilots The PLA has the equivalent of 12 full-time specialised river pilots, with expert knowledge of the upper reaches of the river. In the past year, their operations have been extended from Gravesend to Sea Reach No 1 Buoy. “This change is to reduce double handling of ships,” says Peter Steen. “Previously many ships exchanged the sea pilot for a river pilot at Gravesend; now the river pilots can cover all the way from Putney to Sea Reach 1. This gives us great flexibility and makes more pilots available.”

New watch A new 15-watch roster has been introduced, also as a result of the Optimising Pilotage programme. This new roster ensures a smooth flow of pilots into the system and a better availability at all times – while also fitting in with the requirements of the Working Time Directive.

ECDIS effect

Pilotage Directions

The PLA is examining the impact of new legislation for mandatory carriage of ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), the computer-based alternative to paper navigation charts. A project team is looking at the use of pilots’ portable units (PPU), which would carry the PLA’s own electronic version of charts. “There are so many versions of ECDIS – it may be much better to use our own,” said Peter Steen.

The PLA’s Pilotage Directions are being extensively revised, with a great deal of input from the operational pilots themselves as well as other stakeholders. One key change is that the directions ask for greater notice of requiring a pilot, where possible.

PISCES W the essential facts

PISCES: the essential facts 38

INFORMATION may or may not be power – but correct and clear information can certainly make life a lot easier when trying to offer the best service to users of the Port of London. When the PLA announced its Port Information System for Coordinating End-to-End Services (PISCES) in 2008, the key phrase was “One Version of the Truth” – and that still remains the target. The system went live in August 2009 and the PLA has worked hard to ensure that shipping lines, agents and other stakeholders understand how this computer-based information input system is helping to improve efficiency all round. This is an industry that doesn’t always grasp the opportunities offered by new technology, but considerable advances have been made. Historically, the teams that organise the range of services required by ships entering and leaving the Port of London have received information from port users in a myriad of different forms – telex, fax, phone, e-mail – with all the obvious opportunities for that information to be right, wrong, up-todate or out-of-date or changing every five minutes. Within the PISCES system, the agent logs on to the PLA website, views current data and enters vessel details, pilot requirements, hazardous goods data and other information, and submits a request. “PISCES so far has really concentrated on changes which support the management of our pilots and the proper recording of their activities and allocations,” says VTS manager Barry Goldman. “We have made some real advances. “Now we are moving into the second phase, which links much more closely with POLARIS, our port management information system. We are still working towards a common database so that we can move towards the 'one version of the truth'. POLARIS has been the PLA’s in-house tool for many years; it has evolved and expanded in many different ways so that today it reaches just about

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

every part of the port authority in one way or another. As this project moves forward, so POLARIS and PISCES will gradually converge: “PISCES will really become the front end of POLARIS,” says Barry Goldman. The number of ship agents using PISCES is growing but there are still some who are providing data in their

“traditional” way. “Our challenge is to demonstrate, that PISCES is a much better way to enter data,” says Barry Goldman. “We must explain the benefits of having an electronic system to which they have access and which everyone will feel is their first ‘port of call’ as a repository of the most up-to-date and accurate information.

“This should not be seen as a regulatory tool – but something that they actually want to use.” And there will be a cost benefit, too; as the system progresses, a revised set of charges will be put in place which will deliver lower costs for those who provide their information via PISCES, he adds.

VTS W Ensuring safety

Ensuring safety 40

THE PORT OF LONDON Authority oversees shipping movements over 400 square miles of estuary and tidal River, each year guiding some 10,000 large ships into and out of the UK’s second busiest port. Maritime knowledge mixed with the latest technology is the key to keeping the busy channels safe. VTS upgrade No matter how advanced, refined or state-of-the-art a system is, there is always room for improvement. Apart from anything else, technology moves forward unceasingly – and operational needs evolve in line with a constantly changing industry. The PLA’s Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) – the bit that keeps everything moving, safely and efficiently, on the river – is one such system. “We are pressing ahead with the next upgrade of our VTS despite the recession – we must continue to invest sensibly in its redevelopment to ensure we are ready for the upturn,” says Barry Goldman. Thanks to careful planning and a high degree of “future-proofing” when the system went through a major overhaul in 2004, this upgrade will be easier to incorporate and achieved at a more modest cost. The PLA is planning the upgrade in partnership with its long-term traffic image display provider SOFRELOG; the focus is on simplicity in operating and managing. Key elements include incorporating automatic control of CCTV and significant modernisation of the interface and user controls, which will make the system much more convenient for the operators. “We are really bringing together a lot of minor modifications which have been suggested over the past few years since the last upgrade,” says Barry Goldman. “It is by working with the system that we have identified the features that can be improved.” While the main Port Control Centre is at Gravesend, there will be more visible changes at the Woolwich

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

centre, in terms of desk arrangements and other physical alterations. Much of this is being done with one eye on the support that will be needed during the forthcoming London Olympics. “The 2012 Olympic Games will require some careful planning, especially as the Coastguard is co-located with our Woolwich centre,” says Barry Goldman. “The Olympics will see extra passenger ships – some acting as hotels, others for transporting passengers to the various locations. And being in the middle of the summer, the river will be attractive generally for sightseeing. Inevitably this higher level of activity will

require enhanced security and greater supervision.” Thames AIS Thames AIS (Automatic Identification System), introduced by the PLA in 2007, has proved a major step forward in navigational safety on the river. The system, developed in direct response to the recommendations of the Thames Safety Inquiry, is mandatory for all passenger boats, tugs and commercial vessels over 50 gt throughout Central London. AIS was already compulsory for larger commercial shipping and had

been successfully integrated into the SOFRELOG computer network on which the PLA’s VTS is based. The bespoke Thames “version” for smaller craft was specially created for monitoring vessels upriver of Greenwich, where radar is relatively ineffective because of buildings and bridges. Unique features include a geographical display and a system in which vessel operators electronically report the number of passengers on board. As a result, masters and skippers are much more aware of other vessels in their immediate area, and the likelihood

of an accident is therefore reduced. Thames AIS continues to be monitored and some features will be enhanced in the coming year. Real resilience A key priority for the PLA’s port control centres is resilience. If fire, flood or simple power cut hit Gravesend, for example, the PLA has the capability to switch all VTS functions as well as POLARIS to Woolwich – or vice versa – and planned exercises have been carried out to prove it. But this resilience has been put to the real test in the past year, when on

two occasions the Woolwich centre lost all power, an event which could have left the PLA with no control over shipping upriver. “We managed a completely smooth passing over from Woolwich to Gravesend and back again. It was a true test without warning,” says Barry Goldman. “The power cut happened while the generator at Woolwich was being repaired, so our emergency supplies were unable to cut in. But this was a real positive – we proved that our resilience arrangements worked.” Princes Channel The dredging in 2008 of the Princes Channel to a minimum 8 metres has provided a simpler, shorter, straighter access for many vessels accessing the Port of London from the south, enabling them to save time, fuel and pilotage costs compared to the alternative, longer route via the Fishermans Gat. Such has been the success of the project that the PLA is now exploring the potential for dredging the Princes Channel to 10 metres, to enable larger vessels to take advantage of this new approach. “This is very much in the exploratory phase,” says the PLA’s harbour master (lower), Roy Stanbrook. “The 2008 dredge has been successful and surveys have shown that the channel is maintaining this new depth. But the Princes Channel could be even more successful.” The PLA invested £1.5 million in the original project to deepen the six-mile Princes Channel. As well as improving the Port of London’s competitive position, the new route offers a “greener” alternative. It has been estimated that over the course of a year, vessels switching to the Princes Channel could collectively save more than a month at sea and 2,200 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

JUST as the Port of London stands out for the diversity of the cargoes it handles, so the PLA has an enviable reputation for the breadth of services and wide variety of skills it offers to ensure the day-to-day smooth running of Britain’s second largest port. Some of these services are “behind the scenes”, while others are higher profile. But together they add up to a package of vital support for a wide variety of port users, stakeholders and other clients. “Our services include diving, salvage, mooring maintenance, underwater inspections, wharf services, boat lifting, load-out services and the provision of storage space,” says Geoff Buckby, the PLA’s Marine Services Manager. “We are a busy team. As well as providing essential support to port and PLA operations, we also offer services to clients on a commercial basis, such as berths or load-outs, and we are seeing an increasing interest in this.” The PLA’s Marine Services are based at Denton Wharf, near Gravesend, where its fleet of over 40 vessels are maintained and a £2 million operational support facility, Marine House, was opened in 2006. The 40-metre jetty at Denton Wharf offers an excellent and strategically well-placed facility on the Thames. It is much in demand for its load-out facilities, particularly in support of construction projects along the river. The jetty was used for the load-out of sheet piling, piling hammers and associated equipment for the early developments at the London Gateway site. It is equipped with a 40-tonne crane and 70-tonne boat lift, both of which are kept busy. Commercial vessels including dredgers, cabin cruisers, barges, workboats and passenger vessels are regularly lifted out of the water at Denton Wharf in order to undergo periodic survey and routine maintenance work, or repairs. Further investments in 2009-2010 at Denton Wharf have included: • The resurfacing of the whole of the inner jetty, to create more operational

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

and storage space. “We need the space for working on our own vessels, for storage of craft and for work on commercial boats – and we will bring in more work as a result,” says Geoff Buckby.

• The purchase of a new purposebuilt boat transporter; 40 feet long and 15 feet wide, and electronically controlled with four double wheels at each end, the transporter can move vessels of up to 40 tonnes in weight.

Its capability to place boats with great precision within 10 feet of each other is saving valuable space at Denton. Aids to navigation The PLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marine Services team is

responsible for the maintenance of more than 60 permanent aids to navigation, including 41 floating buoys, 18 fixed buoys and the central London bridge lights. In addition, the team installs and

maintains any temporary buoys to mark obstructions or hazards in the river, and is responsible for laying temporary markings for events such as the University Boat Race. Also within the team’s remit are the inspection and maintenance of more than 230 PLA moorings, from the large Central London Cruise Moorings through to the small upriver boat moorings, and the inspection and upkeep of tide gauges. Salvage The PLA is looking ahead to the possible replacement of its two salvage craft, the Crossness and Hookness. Both 38 metres long and equipped with winches enabling them to lift 120 tonnes to the surface, the craft will need replacing in the near future, says Geoff Buckby. “We are looking at the next generation of salvage craft and also considering alternative uses for the Crossness and Hookness on the river.” TOSCA The Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association (TOSCA) held three emergency exercises in 2009, a vital part of its preparedness for any oil pollution incident. Managed by the PLA and based at Denton Wharf, TOSCA is on 24/7 standby, ready to respond to such an incident anywhere between Tower Bridge and Sea Reach 1. Funded by the Thames terminals that handle oil and oil products, the association has two purpose-built craft, each designed to collect and/or contain oil in the first critical hours after a spillage.

Cleaner than ever 47

The PLA has played a huge role in the dramatic clean-up of the Thames over recent years, including vastly improved water quality and a real blitz on rubbish and waste in the river. Every year the PLA’s driftwood crews remove about 450-500 tonnes of rubbish from the river, using two specialist collection craft, Driftwood II and Driftwood III; these vessels are supported by the tug Impulse and are permanently employed in rubbish clearance work. Their schedule includes the regular emptying of nine passive driftwood collectors (PDCs) strategically placed along the river. The PLA also works closely with the environmental charity Thames21, supporting its work in foreshore clean-ups along the river. Thames21 organised even more river clean-ups than usual during 2009; the PLA supports these by providing baskets for rubbish, which are then emptied into two skips carried aboard its specialist barge, the Syon. Everything from bicycles to bottles, from trolleys to traffic cones are pulled from the river every year. “It really is very noticeable that the Thames is much cleaner,” says Geoff Buckby. “Some might wonder why it is that we continue to pull such high tonnages of rubbish out of the river – the answer is that we are now focusing on the recovery of items such as steel pieces, scaffolding and car engines which were not being moved before. So tonnages have held up because we are turning our attention to heavier objects.”

PACE W the essential facts

PACE the essential facts 48

SPEEDY, efficient, smooth, accessible: the processing of cargo handled through the Port of London has long been achieved through a tailored port community system named PACE. In effect, this provides the electronic alternative to mountains of paperwork – and more than 300 subscribers are linked into the network. 2010 will bring some significant changes to the inventory control system, both behind the scenes and on the screens. PACE was a “local version” of the Southampton-based Community Network Services’ (CNS) Inventory Control system and until the end of 2009 was managed by the Port of London Authority. At the beginning of 2010, CNS took over the administration of PACE from the PLA; users will continue to use the same systems, but contracts and invoices are now direct with CNS, which also now provides direct support. CNS is retaining the name PACE for the user group of London customers, which will meet twice a year. CNS is rolling out an entirely redesigned system during 2010. The result of nearly three years’ planning, CNS Compass will replace the old CNS Inventory Control system. It replicates the processes of the original system but is designed to increase functionality and flexibility. All of these changes have been carefully planned to achieve a smooth transition; the process included a series of presentations to PACE customers during 2009. The CNS network could be compared to a spider’s web, linking port and terminal operators, regulatory bodies such as HM Revenue and Customs, Port Health and DEFRA, shipping lines, freight forwarders, logistics operators and hauliers, reducing the need for re-keying data and providing instant visibility to the right people across the network. The system can be accessed via a PC at any location, subject to security access.

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

So what exactly does it do? Amongst its many virtues, CNS: • Provides electronic access to the HMRC system CHIEF for the automatic customs clearance. • Offers inventory control systems and links to the port/terminal systems for the movement of goods in and out of those facilities. • Allows freight forwarders and logistics operators to monitor the progress of their clients’ cargo, arrange pick-up and delivery of consignments and move goods between locations. Benefits of the new inventory control system, CNS Compass, include: • An intuitive browser interface, making it easy to navigate through processes which use industryrecognised terminology. • All relevant information on a single screen. • An audit trail of changes – the system tracks the progress and changes of cargo from start to finish. • Flexible document routing. • Single sign-on access across sites – each user has a unique user name and password.

HYDROGRAPHICS W The eyes of the PLA

Hydrographic: the eyes of the PLA 50

WHERE are the hazards? What is the depth? What will the tide be like next week? Is this quayside structure intact under the waterline? Is that a wreck down there? These questions, and many others, are answered on a regular basis by the experts in the Port of London Authority’s hydrographic department, one of the best resourced in the UK. The core role of the team is to survey the full extent of the tidal Thames under the jurisdiction of the Port of London Authority – 95 miles of tidal river encompassing 400 square miles of river/sea bed. In order to ensure that the Thames is a safe waterway, the depth of water and the tide heights and flows have to be accurately measured and made available. This information is essential for pilots and other users of the river, to ensure that navigators are aware of any new or longer-term hazards and can plan a safe passage to and from terminal or wharf. But the department’s remit spreads a great deal wider, and includes a high level of commercial work for clients both on the Thames and further afield. The hydrographic team of 14 includes surveyors, a tidal manager, a Geographical Information System (GIS) manager, oceanographer and administration assistant. Vessel operations are supported by crew with specific surveying experience drawn from the marine services department. “Our key areas of response are charting the Thames – we produce charts and maps – and the provision of accurate tide predictions,” says John Dillon-Leetch, the PLA’s deputy port hydrographer. The PLA hydrographic team surveys the whole river from bank to bank on a rolling programme over five to 15 years, depending on the area. A further 90 survey areas subject to greater change and consequently with higher navigational significance are surveyed more regularly – from every four weeks to every 24 months. All the significant information gained from these surveys is accepted and incorporated onto the UK Admiralty paper and digital charts: “This

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

shows the great faith they have in the information we give,” says John DillonLeetch. Over the past six years, the PLA has invested more than £600,000 in new equipment that ensures the hydrographic operation remains one of the most technically advanced in the country.

• The latest acquisition in 2008 was a new £115,000 catamaran, the Galloper, which has given surveyors access to parts of the river too shallow for larger craft to reach. The 7.9 metre vessel works alongside the survey vessels Verifier and Yantlet. Galloper can be taken by road to work further afield at other ports. It has a maximum speed of

28 knots and is fitted with a high resolution multibeam echo sounder (MBES) which gives the capability to undertake highly accurate surveys of the riverbed and associated structures. “With all our vessels, we can pick up changes of just centimetres between surveys. This can be especially important in monitoring navigational depths in the

channel and on berths, as over a large area of channel or a berth a change of ten centimetres in depth can be significant. Such a change can mean that thousands of cubic metres of material have to be removed to ensure vessels’ can transit the channel safety,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “This accuracy can confirm the need for some dredging work to be carried out – but it can also provide accurate information to harbourmasters and terminal operators, helping them to avoid unnecessary work.” In essence, the technology the PLA has invested in enables the team to see the whole of the river or sea bed – not just images. “It is the equivalent of moving from radio to high-definition TV. We can locate a scaffolding pole in ten metres of water depth. This can be especially useful when assessing an area of the river after construction work is completed and to ensure that there have been no detrimental effects on the river bed associated with a new development.” The use of the PLA’s multibeam imaging equipment can also reduce the need to place a diver in the water, with consequent safety, cost and time advantages. The hydrographic team has been heavily involved in the Princes Channel dredge, maintenance and monitoring, and its surveys have proved that so far the increased depth in the channel has maintained well. “Thanks to this new equipment, our knowledge base of the river is a great deal stronger and we depend less on predictions and computer modelling,” says John Dillon-Leetch. “We have very accurate measurements of what the river is doing. The equipment, used by our talented team, has improved our ability to assess changes occurring in the river, bringing advantages for the port, all river users and associated third parties from commercial, recreational or government sectors.” Commercial work About a quarter of the hydrographic team’s work is commercially based, for a

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

range of third party customers within the Thames and further afield. The technological capabilities of the department and its equipment are much in demand. Clients range from police and security firms to port and terminal operations, diving and salvage operations, archaeologists, offshore contractors and even the London Underground. • The team works with berth owners and terminal operators to assess berth conditions, investigate whether a particular vessel can be accommodated at their facility, or monitor the effect of a particular development or dredging operation. “We often act on an operator’s behalf to check that when they have had their berths dredged, they have got value for money and the desired results were achieved.” • Archaeologists can make use of the team’s services to designate and inspect wrecks. • Police, security firms and engineers call in the team to help with investigations. • The hydrographic team has been called upon to survey sections of the river bed above the London Underground tunnels to check for scour around tunnel protection and to ensure the river bed is not eroding too close to the tunnel structure. • The team has surveyed offshore pipelines and structures for the oil and gas industry. • Insurance companies call in the experts to discuss any concerns about vessel under-keel clearance in passage planning. • Up to 4,000 paper charts are sent out every year.

Wrecks – then and now There are over 800 known wrecks in the River Thames, including several of historical importance. With the technology available, the hydrographic team monitors these wrecks very closely so that any significant changes in depth or position can be identified. But their skills are also called upon for modern day mishaps. For example, two years ago when part of a convoy of barges loaded with containers sank and several containers fell off, causing a potentially dangerous obstacle in the Thames, hydrographic surveyors were quickly on the scene. “We were able to determine how many containers were on the barges and how many were missing. We identified where the missing containers were and once it was established that they were presenting no danger to shipping, it was possible to re-open the river to traffic without further delay,” says John Dillon-Leetch. To put this task into perspective, a diver in the Thames literally cannot see his hand in front of his face because the water is so heavy with sediment, and must rely on feeling about in the dark for objects. The hydrographic surveying team can identify two

Another degree of the job THE PLA and University College London co-deliver an MSc degree course in hydrographic surveying, in which all of the hydrographic surveyors play an active part. Graduates of this course have all gone on to work in the hydrographic industry. “This is a way we give something back and support the whole area of surveying,” says John Dillon-Leetch.

missing bricks in a quay wall. This means they are well equipped to help the PLA’s diving and salvage teams, essentially narrowing down the search for an object in the river and being able quickly to determine the location and depth so that the marine services team can recover or mark the hazard.

Time and Tide The hydrographic department monitors and controls 16 tide gauges strategically located along the Thames, in an exercise that is particularly critical for larger, deeper ships that are reliant on often short tidal windows for access. The PLA’s daily tide predictions stretch forward to five years from now, enabling ship operators to plan schedules according to the water depth available. The team produces a Tidal

Booklet entirely from in-house information and software – a job that used to be carried out by a third party. The Thames can have areas and periods of very fast tidal flow, particularly when heavy rain coincides with spring tides – and this too is carefully measured and predicted. “Knowing how fast the tide flows is very important for safe navigation,” says John Dillon-Leetch.

PORT OF TILBURYW drives the green agenda

Tilbury drives the green agenda 54

DIVERSITY, geography and sustainability are the key words at the Port of Tilbury, which provides the critical hub for a myriad of costeffective, low-carbon supply chains. At first sight, Tilbury may not look all that green – this is, after all, a busy cargo-handling, transport and logistics centre – but its “green” credentials are incredibly strong and its commitment to the environment is unrivalled. And in 2009, the port renewed its message of sustainability by launching a new campaign under the slogan “Britain’s greenest port”. “Geography is something people can’t question,” says Port of Tilbury managing director Perry Glading. “Tilbury is the nearest deepwater port to London, with over 23 million people living within a three-hour radius, and shipping is the most carbon-friendly form of mass transportation. We are the closest port to the market and we offer the perfect mix of water, road and rail transport solutions.” While cargo volumes have fallen at ports around the world during the economic downturn, Tilbury has drawn strength from its diversity. “We have performed well in a challenging market during 2009 – a reflection of the broad range of commodities and methods of transportation that we deal with, ” says Perry Glading. When it comes to port league tables, Tilbury is in the top flight across numerous sectors. Tilbury is: • Britain’s largest forest products port; • Britain’s third largest container port; • A leading facility on the Thames for ro-ro and new cars; • One of the UK’s most important ports for grain, animal feeds and fertilisers; • A top port for aggregates; • A port with real commitment to sustainability and with plans for major investments in support of “green” transport solutions. “Most ports tend to be in the peripheral parts of the country – we offer a route into the heart of London and the South East. We find that more and more people are directly positioning

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

themselves here, to be on the doorstep of the UK’s largest market,” says Perry Glading. “If you use Tilbury, you can bring your goods by sea to the closest point of the population. And, in addition, we are working on a host of environmentally friendly transport and development projects for the future.” The ‘green’ credentials A truly sustainable approach requires several strands of “green” thinking. Transport The Port of Tilbury is getting increasingly involved in developing low-carbon transport solutions into the centre of London. The “sustainable”

ambitions of the London Olympics and the creation of a dedicated barge terminal have been key factors here, but the port’s ambitions go a good deal further. Tilbury has been in discussions about its potential role as a hub in the push to bring redundant, safeguarded wharves on the Thames back into action. Retailers, for example, could import goods into Tilbury’s container and ro-ro facilities and then barge these goods upriver into London. And the opportunities for aggregates and other construction materials are obvious, particularly in connection with the London Olympics, Crossrail and the Tideway Tunnel. The opening of the

energy-efficient CEMEX cement plant in 2009 is an excellent example of the way forward. Tilbury has three rail terminals, again key to an all-round sustainable offering. “If there is an opportunity to take a lorry off the road, we should do it,” says Perry Glading. “London won the Olympics bid by focusing on sustainability and this focus has had the effect of reinvigorating the Thames. We must continue the push to ensure more use is made of water in effective supply chains. “Tilbury could become a lifeline for moving commodities and there are retailers, particularly supermarkets, that are very interested in waterborne

transport. The reopening of the barge terminal at Tilbury was a leap of faith – but we went ahead with this because we believe this is the way forward. Our customers are coming to us stating that they are under pressure to find environmentally friendly logistics solutions.” With the London Olympics park moving from construction to fit-out phases, Tilbury continues to be perfectly placed to handle the materials needed. That could include everything from food kiosks to bathroom fittings for the athletes’ village. “2010 will be hugely important from the logistics point of view,” says Perry Glading. “And if we can show that water transport works for

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

PORT OF TILBURY W drives the green agenda

the Olympics, why not for the future of London and the South East of the UK?”

Port projects The Port of Tilbury has planning approval in place for the construction of four 126-metre high wind turbines which would generate up to 2.3 MW each. Added together, they will provide up to 20% of the port’s power requirements, saving an estimated 10,625 tonnes of carbon emissions a year. Work is due to start on this mini wind farm in 2010. Planning approval was achieved in 2009 for a 60 MW biomass power plant within the Port of Tilbury and this development is also likely to move ahead in 2010. Tilbury is also home to a major recycling operation – the Nordic Group Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) receives paper, plastic, glass and aluminium for sorting and reuse, with capacity to handle up to 100,000 tonnes a year. These materials are sorted, baled and packed at the site by state-ofthe-art machinery; recycled paper is shipped out from Tilbury on the return leg of various forest products shipping services, or containerised to go out to the Far East, much of this through Tilbury Container Services. Another environmentally important project at Tilbury is linked to Cory Environmental’s £250 million waste-toenergy plant under construction at Belvedere, on the south bank of the Thames. This facility will dispose of the main waste streams for most of the London boroughs, while generating energy. The incinerator blast ash (IBA) will be containerised and transported downriver to Cory’s custom-built container facility at 22 Berth in Tilbury, and associated support facilities within the port. Short Sea Container Terminal The deepsea container operations of Tilbury Container Services (TCS) are complemented by the port’s own in-dock Short Sea Container Terminal (SSCT), serving the European market. While the past year has been a tough one for the container sector, SSCT

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

has succeeded in attracting some important new services which have expanded its coverage across Europe while also providing increased feeder and transhipment opportunities. Established callers at SSCT include Samskip, operating services to and from Rotterdam and Bilbao, and UCI, operating to/from Moerdijk. MacAndrews launched a new service linking Tilbury with Bilbao on a weekly basis in March 2009, and in February 2010, Delta Shipping launched a new weekly container service linking Tilbury with St Petersburg. SSCT has 549 metres of quay with depth alongside of 9.7 metres. Ro-ro Larger ships and increased frequency underline the ongoing success of P&O’s Tilbury-Zeebrugge service, which has built up steadily since its launch in July 2007. In October 2009, P&O increased capacity on the route in response to demand from unaccompanied freight customers. The freight vessel Norqueen was introduced on to the route, to replace the smaller Norcape and to operate alongside the Norking. The sisterships Norqueen and Norking each have a carrying capacity of 145 freight units and offer an eight-hour crossing time to Zeebrugge. Frequency has been stepped up to ten return trips a week. Ronnie Daelman, freight director of P&O Ferries, said: “This matched pair of ships is the perfect combination to help take the development of our Thames service to the next level. We are seeing strong demand for the service and we are working closely with the Port of Tilbury to ensure our port capacity is also increased to accommodate the extra traffic.” The Port of Tilbury invested £1.25 million in improvements to the ferry terminal during 2009, and is moving forward with plans to build an riverside ro-ro berth for the P&O service.

The inside effort The Port of Tilbury has held the ISO14001 environmental certification for five years. It actively encourages employees to turn off lights, reduce waste, recycle and come up with new suggestions for improving the port’s environmental performance. “Anyone can have a certificate on the wall – but unless they follow it through, it can be meaningless,” says Perry Glading. “We have real employee commitment. We are also members of the Essex Wildlife Trust; we meet regularly with the trust, seeking their opinions early on in any plans.”

Working together A critical ingredient to sustainable solutions is working together. The Port of Tilbury works closely with its customers to help find supply chain advantages and prevent unnecessary duplication of effort or double handling. That could include finding loads for empty haulage legs, providing ancillary services, or developing so-called “port-centric” ideas that eliminate haulage legs altogether. “In these difficult times we have increased our focus on networking and communication, often to find that supply chain trick that will save money and improve efficiency.”

The perfect mix Tilbury is a truly multimodal, multi-cargo hub, at the centre of a network of shortsea, deepsea, lo-lo and ro-ro, bulk and breakbulk shipping services. It has more than 30 operational berths, 16 independent terminals, 7.5 kilometres of quay, more than 500,000 square metres of warehousing, and significant storage space within a 325 hectare estate – with substantial room to expand port and logistics activities beyond the present boundary.

Forest products Tilbury is the UK’s leading port for forest products – and in line with the “green” message, everything from plywood to paper is produced within certificated sustainability schemes. There has been a growing trend in recent years to ship forest products in containers from all trade areas, and Tilbury is perfectly equipped to handle this traffic through both TCS and the Short Sea Container Terminal. Plywood/Timber is a major import through Tilbury, with customers including Altripan, Caledonian Plywood, Finnforest, International Plywood, Lathams, MBM Forest Products, MLM, Travis Perkins and UPM Wood. Containers can be transferred within the port estate directly to the plywood areas or via Tilbury’s Plywood Freight Station, operated by Denholm Handling, for devanning before storage, repacking or direct dispatch. Customers are increasingly concentrating their distribution activity at Tilbury because products can be sourced from all the major supply areas of the world and the port’s location ensures the shortest route to market for mixed loads. MLM Montague L. Meyer (MLM) is one of the UK’s foremost distributors of wood-based panels. The company won the Timber Trade Journal’s Timber Trader of the Year award in September 2009, for the third time. A long established customer of the Port, MLM is very proud of its environmental record; it has played a key role in the past few years in ensuring that the industry leads the way in sustainability. “We have worked very hard to deliver sustainable products and are working with the port to investigate ways to transport our goods in the most environmentally friendly way. Water and rail transport are key to our logistics strategy,” says MLM purchasing director Richard Lazenby. Most of MLM’s imported wood panels arrive into the UK through a central distribution warehouse at the Port of Tilbury, with nationwide

Automotive Hyundai Car UK imports vehicles through a shared riverside ro-ro berth which can handle vessels of up to 220 metres in length and 10.5 metres draft. The British government’s scrappage scheme and the increasing demand for small cars were two factors behind a highly successful 2009 for Hyundai, which became the year’s most improved mainstream car firm. The company brings up to 33,000 cars a year through Tilbury. The service offered by the port has been important in improving sales, says Hyundai Car UK manager Rob Gearing. “We are able to get an imported car to the dealer within hours of arrival in the UK. It is an increasingly popular brand because it is a quality environmentally friendly product, and demand remains strong.”

Grimaldi Line Grimaldi Line has recently signed a new long-term agreement with the Port of Tilbury, to continue operating its services linking the port with West Africa and South America. Grimaldi operates multipurpose con-ro vessels designed to carry a wide variety of cargo, including containers, ro-ro and project cargo. During 2009, volumes on the West Africa service were particularly strong as the weak pound led to increasing demand for second-hand vehicles in West Africa. Grimaldi offers a comprehensive service for a wide variety of products, from South American plywood to West African cocoa and timber, many of which are destined for customers based within the port. Another important feature of the service is new cars, which require specialist handling and storage. “We have worked very closely with the port this past year and are delighted to have signed a new agreement,” says Roy Postlethwaite, managing director of Grimaldi Agencies.

Tilbury Grain Terminal had a successful year in 2009, with volumes exceeding all expectations in terms of products shipped in and out. One of the UK’s largest grain terminals, the facility handles exports of wheat, barley, peas, beans and rapeseed, and imports of wheat, maize and soya beans. Panamax vessels can be handled on the terminal’s outer berth, which has 12.5 metres water depth, while shoreside facilities include 120,000 tonnes of storage in 200 separate silos for product segregation. The terminal is accredited to handle wheat products by the Organic Food Federation and has drying and blending facilities and other processing options. Vessels are discharged at the terminal by continuous bucket unloaders and suction to the silos or direct to trucks – or both at the same time. Loading is carried out by conveyor with hold trimming equipment. Allied Mills and ADM Milling operate mills next to the terminal, and Glencore is the major exporter of wheat through the facility. The Port of Tilbury is also a key centre for the handling of animal feeds and agricultural bulks, which together with grain add up to more than 1.3 million tonnes a year. An extension of Bunge’s agreement within the port was signed in 2009.

sustainable operation. Stema’s operations are based at 1 Berth, where it has a 2.75-acre site. About 300,000 tonnes of sand, gravel and aggregates from the company’s own quarries are imported through the facility. Stema is investing about £95 million in upgrading one of its quarries to an output of 11 million tonnes a year. When the work is complete, in spring 2010, this will be the largest coastal aggregates quarry in the world. The company has also purchased three new 32,000 dwt vessels, which were delivered between spring 2009 and spring 2010. East London Logistics Centre East London Logistics Centre is an exciting new development at Tilbury. The company operates from a site with a 200,000 square foot warehouse

Cruise Tilbury is an established port of call for cruise ships, both for day calls and turnround calls. The port’s London International Cruise Terminal handles between 25 and 30 calls a year, and is getting ready for a big increase in the London Olympics year. “We are receiving a huge number of enquiries from the cruise industry in connection with the 2012 Olympics,” says Perry Glading. Plans are being drawn up for a major refurbishment of the cruise terminal in readiness for 2012.

TCS is the first terminal in the UK to have received all four of the major external accreditations; ISO9001 (Quality), ISO14001(Environment), ISO28000 (Supply Chain Security Management) and ISO18001(Occupational Health & Safety). In addition, TCS is a member of C-TPAT and enjoys AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status.

PORT OF TILBURYW drives the green agenda

adjacent to road, rail and barge facilities in the southern end of the port. In recent years there has been increasing demand for value-added and ancillary services directly at the port, particularly for containerised goods. This reduces the need for double handling and unnecessary inland haulage to inland depots. ELLC’s vision is to offer the complete range of warehousing and logistics services, including container devanning and stuffing, sustainable transport solutions, logistics planning, vehicle consolidation, heavy lifts, groupage work, customs clearance and freight forwarding. The company also provides valueadded services such as palletising, shrink-wrapping, pick-and-mix, labelling and inventory control. “Tilbury is perfect for us because of its proximity to London and the South East, and because we expect to be very busy in the run-up to the London Olympics”, says Carl Clark, managing director of ELLC. “We can also advise customers seeking to use sustainable transport solutions including barges.” Enterprise Distribution Centre Tilbury’s highly automated Enterprise Distribution Centre was built at a cost of £38 million in 2005. It is the first automated high bay in the world to be specifically built for paper and has the capacity to handle over 800,000 tonnes a year. The terminal and warehouse complex

was designed around the unique Stora Enso Cargo Unit (SECU), which has a maximum load of up to 85 tonnes, almost three times the payload capacity of a standard 40-foot ISO container. The SECUs, holding reels, palletised and sheet paper, arrive three times a week on DFDS Tor Line’s vessels Tor Selandia and Tor Hafnia. DFDS vessels also carry annually 20,000 third party import and export trailers, as well as containers (ro-ro), cars and tracked vehicles. Tilbury is strategically situated for Stora Enso haulage into the South East and Midlands of England. Rail cross-dock facilities also complement the company’s distribution network to the North and West, says EDC terminal manager Steve Lyons. EDC handles in excess of 120,000 tonnes of large newsprint reels for News International’s newly constructed printing facilities at Broxbourne. The terminal has the ability to lift seven-tonne “jumbo reels” for the Prinovis printworks in the North West – these arrive in SECUs carried in cradles which are removed and returned to the mills for reuse. Investment at EDC continues. In 2010, this includes the replacement of various lift trucks and the purchase of new Auramo paper clamps, including two bespoke clamps for News International’s reels.

Interforest Terminal London Interforest operates an 8.8 hectare paper terminal at 44 Berth in Tilbury, handling throughput of around 500,000 tonnes a year. The terminal has a 230-metre quay with depth alongside of 11.6 metres, and 50,000 square metres of warehousing. Part of SCA Transforest, Interforest Terminals operates a network of strategically located forest products facilities in Europe, offering forwarding, stevedoring, warehousing, ships agency and administrative services. The Tilbury terminal handles the import of Swedish paper products via SCA Transforest’s specialist ro-ro vessels, which were purpose-built to carry cassettes. The vessels are 171 metres long with a beam of 28 metres can carry 165 cassettes each with a load capacity of 60 tonnes. The balance of throughput at Interforest London is third party business, with imports mainly from Scandinavia, France and North America, including office paper, pulp and kraftliner. SCA is heavily focused on the environment and received the EU’s Clean Marine Award in 2004 for its low-emission logistics policy.The Interforest terminal at Tilbury has both ISO9001 (quality) and ISO14001 (environmental) accreditation.

TCS W Plenty of room for optimism

Plenty of room for optimism 64

AFTER a record year in 2008, Tilbury Container Services (TCS) took a hit from the global downturn during 2009 – but still emerged stronger than many of its competitors. TCS, the deepsea container terminal right on London’s doorstep, had seen volumes rocket to 545,000 teu in 2008. For 2009, throughput was down about 15%. And there were clear positives within that figure: • This was a far smaller decrease than many other comparable container terminals in the UK and around the world; • TCS saw an increase in reefer containers during the year as perishable cargoes held up well and the increasing trend towards shipping fresh produce in containers continued; • The terminal secured some important new services, even in the downturn. • TCS continued with its investment plans; it is preparing for the delivery of two super-post-panamax ship-to-shore cranes in 2010, and pushing ahead with plans for a rail upgrade. Jointly owned by DP World, Associated British Ports and Forth Ports, TCS specialises in north-south trades. “2009 was undoubtedly a tough year but it could have been a lot worse if we had been on the east-west trades,” says business development manager James Leeson. “Our results for 2009 will show the benefit of a full year of new services that started part-way through 2008, as well as new services gained during 2009.” Towards the end of 2008, TCS welcomed the ECS service operated by CMA CGM and the Safran service by CMA CGM and Maruba, which have stepped up links to the Caribbean, Central America and East Coast South America. And June 2009 saw the launch of another new service – the CSAV/Maruba Euroatlan service to East Coast South America. TCS has 600 metres of riverside quay with minimum depth of 13.5 metres and 575 metres of in-dock quay, with 10.7 metres depth. This is the largest

THE PORT OF LONDON HANDBOOK 2010

reefer terminal in the UK, with capacity for 1,300 reefer boxes and the ability to stack reefer boxes up to four-high. More than half its throughput is Latin America trade, 18% is Australia/New Zealand, and Africa and India are the other two major trading countries. Reefer boxes represent up to 20% of volume. Tilbury Container Services’ response to the recession has been a determined one. “This slowdown has given us an opportunity to try out different ways of working, and different ways of stacking and organising – which we couldn’t do before, because we were too busy,” says James Leeson. “But it has also given us an opportunity to focus on training. All staff have been going through the DP World Institute course “Fundamentals of Terminal Operations”, a one-week course with outside trainers and guest speakers. “A lot of companies have stopped training this year because they see training as an unnecessary expense – but we have taken the view that we have time to do this, and a better trained workforce will deliver benefits to the company in the months and years to

come.” Above all, the focus has been on continued best service to customers, he says. “We believe that we are good at that – but we can always improve. And training the workforce to better understand the customer’s needs has been a part of that, as well as regular briefings on what’s happening in the container shipping industry.” The TCS workforce has responded admirably to the crisis, he adds. A reduction in numbers has been necessary but most of this has been achieved through sabbaticals, voluntary redundancies and non-replacement. “The workforce has really helped this year. Nobody has had a pay rise, and everybody understands the need to pull together in times of crisis.” TCS has also taken steps to increase efficiency and reduce costs, including rotating the straddle carrier fleet to cut maintenance costs. Meanwhile, a series of strategic investments has continued. • TCS is due to take delivery of two Liebherr super post-panamax cranes in the second quarter of 2010. Two older

panamax cranes are being refurbished and moved in the first quarter of 2010 from the riverside quay to the in-dock berth, where crane rails have already been laid. • Six new Kalmar straddle carriers were delivered in 2009, including one environmentally friendly model now going through trials. • TCS has applied for a freight facility grant to support plans for a new rail loop on the terminal. About 16% of containers travel to and from the terminal by rail but this could be substantially increased, says Mr Leeson. If the grant is approved, the project should be completed by the third quarter of 2010. With the London Olympics construction moving into the fitting out and equipment phases, TCS is gearing up for an expected increase in related imports. Much of this could be unloaded from deepsea services at the terminal and loaded to barge for final transit to the sites. “We certainly see the Olympic Games as an important opportunity and expect to see goods coming through

here,” says James Leeson. “We have customers who are very interested in moving into barge work, for the Olympics and for other supply chains, and we are working with them.” The barge option is attracting the interest of major high street names, he adds. “The environmental drive has not gone away, despite the recession. It is now so ingrained in companies’ visions and targets. Retailers are committed to finding environmentally friendly solutions and looking at Tilbury for their distribution bases. And we are ready to work with them to develop those solutions.” 2009 ended on another positive note for TCS, with the announcement of a new container service from South Africa operated by MBG Shipping. The service, aimed particularly at the South African fruit trade, started in December with the arrival of the first 1,350 teu ship from Cape Town. Also later in the year, TCS received the DP World award for “Safest Terminal in the World”. “We are still chasing more business and are optimistic that we can get more in – we are talking with other customers,” said Mr Leeson.

CALOR GAS The Calor Gas Terminal on Canvey Island handles a throughput of 90,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) a year. The Canvey Terminal plays a major role in the success of Calor as the leading distributor of LPG. It has a dedicated jetty, which allows for refrigerated LPG imports from VLGCs of up to 200 metres loa, with the product being stored in in eight separate insulated tanks at -43 degrees centigrade. LPG imports are distributed inland by road tanker and pipeline, while some is re-exported by ship. The Canvey Terminal helps to ensure the continuity of supply to Calor’s UK customers, while maintaining the

stability of LPG market prices. Its strategic location provides Calor with access to a network of worldwide LPG suppliers. The terminal also plays a key role in the international storage and supply strategies of Calor’s parent company, SHV, which operates LPG business throughout Europe, Asia and South America. LPG has traditionally been used to fuel homes and businesses not connected to the mains gas supply. However, Calor is continuing to develop new “green” applications for its products and has led the way in the UK with initiatives such as Autogas for road vehicles, Marine Gas for boats and CFC-free refrigerants and aerosol

propellants. A 17-kilometre LPG pipeline connects the Canvey Terminal to Calor’s Coryton Filling Plant, giving an important environmental advantage as it reduces the number of road tanker movements in and out of the terminal. As well as the construction of the pipeline, recent investment at the terminal has included an improvement to the product heating facilities that has assisted the installation’s export capability. Exports via pressurised LPG carriers have been sent to many European countries, ranging from the Canary Islands to Poland.

products and chemicals and has more than 100 tanks ranging in capacity from 10 cubic metres to 20,000 cubic metres. The 220 metre jetty has a depth of 11 metres which is suitable for accommodating a variety of seagoing vessels and barges. The site is also equipped with road loading facilities and is within easy access of the M25 via the A13 and A127.

PETROPLUS Situated on the north bank of the river, Coryton Refinery has been part of the Thames landscape since 1953. On 31 May 2007, the refinery was acquired by Petroplus AG Holdings. Petroplus, the largest independent refiner and wholesaler of petroleum products in Europe, has a diverse portfolio with assets located in the UK, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Germany. Total throughput at the Coryton Refinery is 172,000 barrels of crude per day, with additional throughput capacity of up to 70,000 barrels per day of other feedstocks. Crude is shipped from all over the world, including the North Sea, Africa and Russia. Well over 650 ships called in 2008. Production is split roughly equally between gasoline and diesel; the

investment programme at the terminal in order to maintain its excellent level of safety and service. Fully automated bottom loading facilities, backed up by a computerised preloading authorisation system, are key to the terminal’s highly efficient distribution operation. Additional bottom loading distillate facilities came into operation during 2008.

majority is sold in the southern UK, with the exception of gasoline and fuel oil, some of which is exported to other regions. Coryton Refinery typically sells the majority of its output to oil majors, resellers, industry and retail petrol stations. Products are distributed via the refinery’s own on-site truck-loading rack, railcar loading facilities, oil product pipeline and marine facilities. Petroplus believes not only that its activities should generate economic benefits and opportunities but that good corporate citizenship and the handling of safety, health and environmental (SHE) issues are core responsibilities of the business. For this reason, there are sophisticated systems and projects onsite to ensure that the refinery

protects the environment and works to the highest safety standards. Petroplus works with the PLA in the provision of TOSCA (the Thames Oil Spill Clearance Association), which provides a rapid response in the event of any oil spill – just one example of the refinery’s work in environmental protection. The strategic relationship between the PLA and Petroplus at Coryton provides first-class management of risk. This includes working together on real-time simulation training for Coryton pilotage activities.

Dry Bulks AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES Aggregate Industries is a manufacturer of quarry products and heavy building materials. It supplies a wide range of products and services to the construction industry. Committed to sustainability, the company was voted on to the Sunday Times Best Green Companies list for the second time in 2009. Employing about 6,000 people in the UK, northern Europe and the Channel Islands, Aggregate Industries also became the first company in its sector to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard and the first to be certified to the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing Framework standard across its whole business. This independent certification scheme assesses responsible sourcing policies and practices throughout the supply chain of construction products. With its operations in the heart of

London and the Thames Gateway areas, Aggregate Industries is ideally placed to serve the planned rapid growth in construction to 2012 and beyond. The Olympic Delivery Authority awarded the company two key contracts to supply the ready-mixed concrete needed for the construction of the Olympic Park, along with all aggregate materials. It is a well-established ready-mixed concrete supplier through its Brentford-based business, London Concrete. Aggregate Industries operates over 80 quarries across the UK, with major quarrying operations in Scotland, the East Midlands and Somerset, from which it moves construction aggregates to London by ship and rail. The company operates the world’s largest self-discharging aggregate carriers, which carry up to 97,000 tonnes. Along the Thames, it operates a fleet of tugs

l l and barges through its Bennett’s Barges business. In 2008, Bennett’s Barges transported more than 150,000 tonnes of aggregate products from the Isle of Grain depot to its Thames customers, saving six million lorry miles. Looking ahead, the specialist barge fleet will substantially exceed this important contribution to the efforts to reduce carbon emissions for a cleaner environment in the capital. Away from the rivers and canals, aggregate is transported by rail wherever possible into depots and terminals, hauled by energy-efficient locomotives. Aggregate Industries is a member of the Holcim Group, one of the world’s leading suppliers of cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt.

BRETT AGGREGATES

More than a million tonnes of sea-dredged aggregates from specific areas of the North Sea, the mid-Channel and off the southern UK coast around the Isle of Wight are landed each year at North Sea Terminal, Brett Aggregates’ main facility in the Port of London. Rail accounts for the onward transit

of more than 40 per cent of Brett’s output from the terminal, with several trains departing every day. An on-site block-making plant utilises 25 per cent of the terminal’s throughput to produce a number of products for Brett Landscaping and Building Products. Additional aggregate

CEMEX UK MATERIALS CEMEX is a global building solutions company with leading positions in aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete. Its London terminals supply many major construction projects in south-east England. The company operates six wharves on the river, as well as a joint company operation with Hanson Aggregates, named Purfleet Aggregates, and supplies several of its concrete plants with cement by river barges that are loaded at Northfleet and Angerstein, reducing lorry deliveries into central London by an estimated 2,000 a year. Materials are supplied by barge to Cringle Wharf at Battersea and Comleys Wharf at Fulham for use in the on-site concrete plants, as well as to other

CEMEX customers along the river, while Northfleet Wharf and the new concrete plant at Angerstein Wharf handle imports of sea-dredged aggregates from CEMEX UK Marine. The CEMEX concrete products factory at Northfleet produces paver and concrete blocks. In 2009, CEMEX commissioned a new 1.2 million tonne capacity cement grinding and blending plant at the Port of Tilbury – the only cement plant in South East England. This £49 million project, the largest in the UK cement industry for five years, and increases CEMEX UK’s cement capacity by 20%. The primary product manufactured at the new facility is blended cement, which incorporates by-products from other industries to make cements for use

HANSON AGGREGATES Hanson Aggregates operates three facilities on the Thames – one at Dagenham, another at Victoria Deep Water Terminal (Greenwich) and one at Wandsworth, as well as a joint venture operation with CEMEX, called Purfleet Aggregates. Volumes of marine-dredged aggregate through the Dagenham wharf are expected to reach 1.2 million tonnes this year (2010). Rail is crucial to Hanson’s

operations. Crushed rock from the Mendips is imported into the London terminal and around 500,000 tonnes of sand and gravel is exported to depots at Acton, Brentford, Heathrow, Theale and Bow. In addition, five-times-a-week rail movements to the Olympics/ Stratford City site in East London began in February 2008, carrying 6,000 tonnes a week. The non-tidal Dagenham operation, which receives vessels 24 hours a day,

is landed and stored at Brett’s Northfleet facility before processing and onward transit to the construction industry. A significant investment was made in 2007 to provide a faster ship unloading facility. The ship-to-shore discharge system can handle up to 3,500 tonnes per hour of aggregate.

in all types of concrete applications, including housing, hospitals, schools and roads. The plant is well positioned to take advantage of CEMEX’s extensive network of London wharfs and depots, connected by a system of river and rail transport to further minimise emissions and relieve the pressure on congested roads.

incorporates three asphalt coating plants, a concrete plant, a recycling depot and a bagging facility so that bagged materials can be supplied to the DIY and small construction sector. Its barge loading facility is used for the onward transportation of sands, gravels and limestone up the Thames to the Hanson ready-mixed concrete plants at Greenwich and Wandsworth.

INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS LTD Industrial Chemicals Limited has operated in the Thurrock area since 1976 and purchased its 80-acre site at the former West Thurrock Power Station 12 years ago. The company employs over 250 people and handles in excess of one million tonnes of materials per annum, with sales of over 300,000 tonnes of finished materials and products. Industrial Chemicals operates 20 chemical manufacturing plants throughout the UK and supplies products to the detergent, paper, water treatment and chemical industries on a global basis. The company made major investments during 2009 at the West Thurrock facility, not only to accommodate

the company’s “in-house” products but also to attract third-party cargoes to this prime location facility. Recent investments have included installing a Siwertell mobile screw unloader on the jetty for environmentally friendly discharge of bulk dry powder shipments, and the commissioning of a KE Kranbau Eberswalde rail-mounted travelling quay crane to handle bulk, general and container cargoes. The crane has a lift capacity of 48 tonnes at 16 metres, and 16 tonnes at 25 metres. The West Thurrock Jetty handled a significant increase in volumes in 2009, to more than 110,000 tonnes of various products during the year. The signs are even more promising for 2010, with

LAFARGE AGGREGATES & CONCRETE Lafarge Aggegates & Concrete operates several facilities along the Thames, including operations at Greenhithe, Thurrock and Belvedere, which between them distribute more than one million tonnes of aggregate throughout the area by road and rail. Greenhithe processes sea-dredged sand and gravel for use in building projects across the region. The facility’s £1.5 million ship-to-shore conveyor won the Quarry Products Association’s Safety Award for Innovation in 2005, for a whole range of

measures to minimise operational hazards. This includes a clever system for ensuring that maintenance can be conducted safely. Greenhithe and Belvedere also have readymix concrete plants. Lafarge’s distribution hub at West Thurrock combines a deepwater wharf with rail-loading facilities and excellent access to the local road network. The wharf allows ships to discharge at all times, regardless of the tide.The material is then processed on the site ready for onward distribution by road, rail or river.

LAFARGE CEMENT UK Lafarge Cement UK has invested significantly at its two terminals on the Thames, at Northfleet and West Thurrock. December 2007 saw the final commissioning of a new £10 million cement import terminal at Northfleet. This facility has annual handling capacity of over 500,000 tonnes. Bulk powder is transported to the terminal by ship from other parts of the Lafarge European network. The Northfleet terminal has three enclosed storage cells,

each with 17,000 tonnes capacity, and six bulk loading points, each with its own weighbridge, one of which can be used for PFA. Lafarge invested more than £10 million in the purchase of its West Thurrock terminal in June 2005. Since then, the company has invested heavily in the site, spending over £3 million to upgrade the bulk loading and discharge facilities and rail sidings, and another £3 million on facilities to pack cement in

l several new customers declaring intent to use the facility. Situated only two miles from Junction 30/31 of the M25 and also close to the Dartford Crossing, the facility offers an ideal location for serving end-markets both north and south of the Thames. With deep water and sufficient storage land, it has much to offer importers of construction materials and project cargoes destined for the Olympics site at Stratford – supporting the timecritical coordination of onward deliveries to the development site by water or road. Industrial Chemicals has an on-site approved weighbridge as well as 24/7 security operations across the whole site.

l l l Mulbury Wharf in Belvedere is used to bring high-PSV stone (used in road surfacing because of its skid-resistant properties) into the heart of London. Lafarge is a world leader in building materials and prides itself on product innovation and customer service. It is also the only company in its sector to appear in the global top 100 most sustainable companies. In the UK, the company’s Aggregates & Concrete business has consistently been the safest in the industry in recent years.

plastic for its unique Mastercrete product. More than £1 million was spent on new paper packaging facilities and a palletiser in 2008. In addition to this, Lafarge completed £15 million of investment in the rail infrastructure at its Hope Works in Derbyshire during 2008, providing capacity for more than 1 million tonnes to be transported down to the South East by train.

STEMA SHIPPING (UK) LTD

Stema has three operations on the Thames handling sand, gravel and aggregate on the Thames – at Red Lion Wharf in Northfleet, at Victoria Deep, Blackwall, and at the Port of Tilbury. Red Lion Wharf, which is owned by Stema, has a 220-metre jetty with depth alongside of 7 metres and six acres of open storage for imported aggregates. About 750,000 tonnes of sand, gravel

and aggregates from Stema’s own quarries in Norway, and sand from Denmark, are imported through this facility. Of this, about 150,000 tonnes goes back out by barge – and the company is looking at ways of increasing this. At Tilbury, Stema operates at 1 Berth, where it has 10.5 metres water depth and a 2.75 acre site. At present it

terminal in Europe in terms of output, regularly producing in excess of 1.8 million tonnes per year in recent years, although the economic slowdown in 2009 saw volumes drop to 1.2 million tonnes. Nearly half of all material sold from the facility is transported to customers by rail and the terminal is also able to load material into barges. Murphy’s Wharf is clearly well placed to serve the Olympic construction site, due to its capacity and location. There are significant environmental benefits to be gained from transporting the raw material right into the heart of London by ship, and processing locally. In 2009 Tarmac invested £850,000 in replacing dewatering screens and a stocking conveyor at the site. Planned investment for 2010 totals £1 million, including replacing two further conveyors, a silt thickener and river

l l

handles about 300,000 tonnes at Tilbury. Stema is investing around £95 million in upgrading one of its quarries to an output of 11 million tonnes a year. When the work is complete, in spring 2010, this will be the largest coastal aggregates quarry in the world. The company has also purchased three new 32,000 dwt vessels, being delivered between spring 2009 and spring 2010.

TARMAC Tarmac Quarry Materials has three terminals on the Thames – one at Riverside Wharf in Charlton since 2002, and two more recent additional wharves, at Erith and Charlton, following Tarmac’s acquisition of the remaining 50% of United Marine Holdings in 2008. Riverside Wharf is going through some changes, with supplies going predominantly to external customers. Throughput is about 95,000 tonnes a year and a dredging project has created the potential to increase this total. The site complements Mulberry Wharf asphalt plant particularly, providing flexibility for out-of-hours operations. Murphy’s Wharf in Charlton is ideally placed to supply east and central London, being located on the south side of the River Thames near the Blackwall Tunnel. It is believed to be the largest marine aggregate

pipework. Pioneer Wharf, further downriver, is well placed to support Murphy’s Wharf and to supply Kent and south/east London markets. It handled 280,000 tonnes in 2009. Projects supplied with material from the former UMA wharves have included the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, particularly for the new terminus at Kings Cross/St Pancras, the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal Football Club, Canary Wharf and the Millennium Dome. More recently, supplies of circa 7,000 tonnes a week have been despatched to the company’s on site concrete batching plants at the 2012 Olympics athletes’ village site. Both wharves have benefited from ongoing investment in processing plant and equipment such as loading shovels, crushers, conveyors, feeders and screens.

TATE & LYLE SUGARS EUROPE The Tate & Lyle Sugars Thames Refinery at Silvertown is one of the largest cane sugar refineries in the world and supplies about 7% of the total EU27 demand for sugar. The 13.6 hectare site processes 160 tonnes of raw sugar an hour, with a current annual output of about 1 million tonnes. There is bulk storage for 65,000 tonnes, together with 2,000 tonnes of storage capacity for palletised refined sugar for export. The 161-metre raw sugar jetty has a minimum depth of 10 metres at low water and receives approximately 50 vessels each year in a range of sizes from 4,000 to 56,000 dwt. Raw sugar is imported by Tate & Lyle from a variety of Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Least Developed Countries (LDC) and Most Favoured Nations (MFN) suppliers which are granted preferential access to the European Union, together with sugar from world market suppliers such as Brazil. Refined sugar is transported directly to domestic retail and industrial buyers from the site, either packed or as bulk dry and liquid products, or it is exported by ship or container worldwide. The 48-metre export jetty can handle vessels

of more than 3,000 dwt. A new crane for this jetty is currently being commissioned. Also on the raw sugar jetty, the two new cranes, each with a capacity of 16 tonnes, which were installed in 2007 at a cost of £6 million are performing well. These, together with new stevedoring arrangements which have been introduced on the jetty, ensure that raw sugar discharge at the refinery is a world-class operation. Other major investments in response to the transforming EU sugar market are under way at the site. Tate & Lyle has announced its intention to switch all of its retail

TILBURY POWER STATION The coal-fired Tilbury Power Station produces power on three 350 MW units, generating enough electricity for the needs of a million people. This is fed into the National Grid system. The power station handles about 1.5 million tonnes of coal a year. Following an £11.5 million investment in extending the power station’s riverside jetty, owner and operator RWE npower can directly import a variety of coals using panamax size ships of up to 70,000 tonnes capacity from the world

markets, without the need for transhipment from Europe. This has cut out transhipment costs, reducing fuel costs overall. Most deliveries are from the Baltic, particularly from Russia and the Latvian port of Riga, and the Tilbury terminal has also received coal from the Far East, South America, Australia, the US and South Africa. As more ports in the Baltic develop so that they can accommodate panamax ships, RWE npower has continued to

l sugars to Fairtrade, and sugar cane growers in Belize are already enjoying the benefits of the premiums paid to them over and above the normal prices for raw sugar they deliver to the refinery. Construction of a £20 million biomass boiler on the riverfront is now complete and commissioning is at an advanced stage. This will enable the refinery to switch 70% of its energy use and carbon emissions from fossil fuels to renewable biomass – helping to reduce energy costs and the environmental impact of the refinery. It is planned that some of the biomass feed for this boiler will be delivered by river.

l see an increase in larger tonnage at Tilbury. Jetty A can accommodate vessels up to 13.8 metres draught, without tidal constraint, providing a good deal more flexibility for shipping and the suppliers RWE npower uses – thus adding great commercial value to the overall business. Jetty B, accommodating ships with draughts of 7.2 metres at low water, is used for heavy fuel oil.

TERMINAL FACTFILES W Port of Tilbury

Port of Tilbury DIVERSITY, geography and sustainability are the key words at the Port of Tilbury, which provides the critical hub for a myriad of cost-effective, low-carbon supply chains. At first sight, Tilbury may not look all that green – this is, after all, a busy cargo-handling, transport and logistics centre – but its “green” credentials are incredibly strong and its commitment to the environment is unrivalled. And in 2009, the port renewed its message of sustainability by launching a new campaign under the slogan “Britain’s greenest port”. “Geography is something people can’t question,” says Port of Tilbury managing director Perry Glading.

“Tilbury is the nearest deepwater port to London, with over 23 million people living within a three-hour radius, and shipping is the most carbon-friendly form of mass transportation. We are the closest port to the market and we offer the perfect mix of water, road and rail transport solutions.” While cargo volumes have fallen at ports around the world during the economic downturn, Tilbury has drawn strength from its diversity. “We have performed well in a challenging market during 2009 – a reflection of the broad range of commodities and methods of transportation that we deal with, ” says Perry Glading.
