Why Proximity to Tilbury Port Matters for Warehousing
Tilbury is the UK’s busiest container port by volume. Millions of tonnes of goods pass through it every year including furniture, appliances, food and drink, consumer goods, construction materials, and more. For any business importing through Tilbury, what happens to goods once they leave the port is a live operational and financial question. Distance from the port gate is where that question starts to be answered.
Demurrage Costs Accumulate Fast And Distance Makes Them Worse
Demurrage charges accumulate quickly at the port once a container has sat beyond its free days. Port-side congestion can cause delays. The faster goods can move from the port into a nearby warehouse, the lower the cost and the greater the control over what happens next.
