Chatham Docks is a specialised industrial and breakbulk facility on the Medway in Kent, handling steel, aggregates and recycling materials alongside ship repair and maritime businesses around Basin 3 — not a container port. Critically for planning: in January 2026 the High Court dismissed the last legal challenge (brought by steel maker ArcelorMittal), making the closure and redevelopment into a business and residential quarter — the 'Basin 3' project with around 3,625 homes — legally certain. Operators should confirm current operational status before booking. For containers and larger regional volumes, London Gateway (DP World) and Tilbury are the appropriate alternatives, with nearby Sheerness for RoRo and vehicles.
