About This Seaport
On the Kent bank where the Thames narrows before the open estuary, Gravesend functions less as a cargo port than as the operational nerve centre of the Port of London Authority, whose pilots board here and whose VTS directs every vessel movement on the tidal river. Commercial calls are modest — general-cargo ships, tankers and aggregate barges at riverside wharves — while containers and unitised freight are handled downstream at Tilbury and London Gateway. For shippers, Gravesend is best understood as a pilot and anchorage station rather than a loading point, with Tilbury (GB TIL) the nearest full-service alternative.
