Why London Gateway Businesses Choose Our Grays Warehouse
London Gateway is one of the UK’s most modern deep-water container ports and one of the fastest growing on the Thames Estuary. Operated by DP World, it is purpose-built to handle the largest container vessels calling at UK ports and continues to grow in volume year on year. For importers using London Gateway, the challenge after the port is the same as it is at Tilbury getting goods off-port quickly, into a secure warehouse, and moving towards their end destination without unnecessary delay or cost.
The A1014 and A13 - A Direct Route That Makes 20 Miles Feel Like Nothing
The A1014 from London Gateway connects directly to the A13, a fast, largely uninterrupted dual carriageway that connects straight to our site in Grays. There are no town centre crossings, no roundabout pinch points, and no significant congestion on this route under normal conditions. The result is a 10-minute journey despite the 20 miles of road distance.
Why 10 Minutes Matters for London Gateway Importers
For an importer managing demurrage or a freight forwarder coordinating a tight collection window, journey time is what matters and not mileage. A 10-minute collection run means containers can be off-port and into our warehouse the same day they are released, minimising demurrage exposure and keeping the supply chain moving.
