Roughly 635,000 TEU a year, a 655-metre quay, eight ship-to-shore gantry cranes and draughts up to 14.5 metres define the container side of the Isle of Grain, operated as London Thamesport by Hutchison Ports. Set where the River Medway meets the Thames Estuary in Kent, the deep-sea terminal handles containers and complementary bulk cargo with highly automated, robotic crane systems. Alongside it, the Grain LNG terminal ranks among Europe's largest, with capacity up to 15 million tonnes of LNG per year, two jetties on the Medway, large-scale storage and regasification into the UK gas network. The peninsula therefore pairs container logistics with strategic energy imports on a single site. Hinterland links run via the A228 and rail connections toward London, the Midlands and beyond, supported by feeder and Thames river services. Customs clearance follows the UK's post-Brexit border regime. Reefer, breakbulk and project cargo can be accommodated at the specialised berths. For higher-frequency mainline container calls, shippers also use Felixstowe and London Gateway nearby.
