Britain Is Constructing a Mega Port That Could Change Worldwide Shipping

Описание: Britain is building a mega port that could change global shipping: London Gateway on the Thames. We look at DP World’s £1bn expansion, how a container port works, and what it means for UK trade.
We look at how a former oil refinery site in Essex became a deep water port built for the biggest container ships on Earth.
You’ll see how London lost its great docks, why the location is so valuable, how quay cranes, automated stacking cranes and the all-electric berth actually work, why volumes jumped by more than 50% in a single year, and how the new fifth berth could make London Gateway Britain’s largest container port. We also ask the uncomfortable question: who really owns Britain’s front door?
