Two cranes for London Gateway
DP WORLD is investing £12m in two new Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes at London Gateway to meet demand for rail connections from customers at the logistics hub, which will increase its capacity by a third when a fourth berth opens next year.
The cranes will be used for the quick, safe and automated handling of containers and will be operational in time for the new berth’s opening, and will lift rail capacity at London Gateway by 50%.
London Gateway port operations director Andrew Bowen, says: “We are delighted to be making a further investment in our rail capability and rail capacity with two new RMG cranes which will arrive in the same year that we open a new fourth berth. After the disruption of recent years, shipping lines and cargo owners are looking for capacity, reliability and growth opportunities and DP World will deliver on all three fronts.”
