About This Seaport

Operated by Forth Ports and sitting on the River Thames about 25 miles east of London, Tilbury ranks among the largest ports on the river and moves over 16 million tonnes a year. The London Container Terminal offers around 1,720 m of quay and can work container ships of up to roughly 10,000 TEU, giving Tilbury genuine deep-sea reach. A 9.4 m berth depth and extensive rail and road links close to the M25 support rapid hinterland distribution into Greater London. As part of the Thames Freeport, importers and exporters gain access to customs-advantaged zones, complemented by the Tilbury2 expansion for roro and construction materials. The cargo mix is unusually broad, spanning containers, vehicles, the UK's largest grain terminal, paper, recycling and project loads. This diversity makes the port attractive for many consignment types beyond boxes alone. For pure deep-sea container volumes, Felixstowe and the neighbouring London Gateway are the main alternatives, while Tilbury trades on its proximity to the London consumer market.
