Busy scene on the Thames, which is at the heart of supply chains serving millions of people across the UK.

Introduction The Thames Vision project embraces all aspects of the river, from port trade to sport and recreation.

The Port of London ...so much more to come

The iconic river Thames is a magnet for passengers... tourists and commuters alike.

Employment, investment, health and wellbeing: the Thames is a force to be reckoned with. Two groundbreaking studies commissioned by the PLA have made clear the vital role that the River Thames plays in the economy, the movement of freight and the transport of passengers – and also, uniquely, in the well-being of the capital’s residents and visitors. The reports were launched in September 2015 at the start of London International Shipping Week, an event which focused attention strongly on London and its position as a global maritime centre.

Almost 10 million passenger journeys are taken on the Thames every year

12 Port of London Handbook

The Thames is home to the UK’s second biggest port and busiest inland waterway. Around ten million passenger trips are taken on the Thames every year and the capital is considered a ‘marquee’ destination for cruise ships. And, alongside all of this, the Thames is thriving in terms of leisure use. What else could be achieved? More cargo than ever before; twice as many passengers; more goods moving by river to take more trucks off the road; more sport and recreation on the water… and, the cleanest River Thames since the Industrial Revolution. There is no room for vague statements in the Thames Vision publication issued for consultation by the Port of London Authority at the end of 2015. The goals it sets out are unequivocal. The message is strong and clear: use of the Thames could be transformed over the next 20 years and there is every reason to believe that the Port of London will be busier than ever, handling between 60 and 80 million tonnes of cargo each year. The PLA launched the Thames Vision project in March 2015 and, since then, there has been intensive discussion and consultation with the public, river stakeholders and other organisations across

London and the South East, to hammer out a real framework for the development of the river over the next two decades. The Port of London is on the doorstep of the biggest consumer market in the UK – a consumer market and a capital city that’s poised for staggering growth over the next few years. The Thames Vision project is all about planning for the river’s future, clarifying the priorities and the potential, and taking into account the needs of all stakeholders. That’s a huge task: as well as more than 70 port, terminal and wharf operations along the tidal Thames and the associated shipping community, the PLA works with a large number of very varied stakeholders, including governmental and statutory bodies; local and county councils; tourist organisations; leisure users, from rowers and canoeists to walkers on the river banks; local residents; and countless others with a ‘stake’ in the commercial success and environmental health of the river. “The purpose of the study is to stand back and see what the potential is and how we can realise it,” says Port of London Authoriy CEO Robin Mortimer. Already, he says, two clear messages have emerged from the consultation process: “First and foremost, there is enormous potential for growth in the river in all forms of its use – so the potential for 60 million-

plus tonnes of cargo, a doubling of passenger numbers, increased leisure use and increased intraport freight. “The next message is that while the rapid growth of London and the South East, and the strong UK economy mean that the potential and demand is certainly there, in order to realise all of that, we need active management, intervention and leadership; it doesn’t just happen. It means being clear about where the appropriate areas are for different activities, whether that’s rowing or freight. “There is clearly massive potential to grow our freight traffic – particularly in the east, where new wharves will open. We must continue to place emphasis on the safeguarded wharves and on bringing them back into use.” Diversity is a real strength for London’s port operations. The cluster of port and terminal facilities handle containers and roro traffic, paper and forest products, cars and engines, steel and general cargo, grain, fertilisers and animal feeds, oil, petrol, chemicals and raw materials, aggregates and building materials, food and wine, clothing and toys, and scrap

metal and waste paper. Those cargoes add up to a total of around 45 million tonnes a year. The PLA has carried out some detailed economic modelling, based on economic forecasts, discussions with terminals and market intelligence, to identify a realistic growth trajectory for the various sectors. “That modelling has shown us that the ‘low case scenario’ takes us to 60 million tonnes a year, and the ‘central case’ is more like the high 70s,” says Robin Mortimer. “So basically the message is that the future is bright. London could easily surpass its historical size as a port.” The past two decades have also seen significant growth in the number of recreational and cultural events taking place on the river, he adds. “Both this and the industrial side of the port are sustained by major investments. And it isn’t a matter of ‘either or’, it can be both.” Overall, he says, it’s vital to stay ahead of the game. “We do not want to be market followers a long way behind. For example, there is the move towards alternative marine fuels. We are looking at LNG and being ready for the next generation of ship fuel technology, including the portside infrastructure that will be required.”

The River Thames Economic Prosperity study... l The tidal Thames and the Port of London generate 43,455 full-time equivalent jobs, of which 27,000 are people directly employed in port-related operations, with the remainder in the associated supply chain and support activities; l Port and maritime activities on the tidal Thames generate £4 billion gross value added (GVA) a year; l Some £1 billion of new investment is planned in the sector over the next five years, including: £692 million by port operators and processors, £128 million by ship and boat operators, £68 million in passenger and cruise-related services, £59 million in port and regulatory services, £59 million by port and ship suppliers, and £1 million in the boatyard and recreational craft sector; l Some 45 million tonnes of cargo is handled every year, as well as 5.5 million tonnes of inland waterways freight; l Almost 10 million passenger journeys are taken on the Thames every year; l The Thames was the location for 83 major sporting events in 2015.

A coordinated port The Thames Vision consultation has already highlighted the need for a more ‘coordinated’ Port of London community, for example, when lobbying for improved road infrastructure, says Robin Mortimer. “Some other UK ports have been able to speak more clearly to central government about what they need in the way of infrastructure because they are not as complex in terms of geography and have fewer players involved than we do here,” he says. “Perhaps the PLA has so far taken a rather soft position on lobbying. We are changing that. We want to act on behalf of the port, where people can come together to express their views.” One key issue, he says, is the strategic need for a lower Thames crossing – and the need for this to be not at Dartford, but below Gravesend. “That option will best enable the port to be open to customers, while the Dartford option would take land away from port use. We must strongly support a lower Thames option. “We will also press the government to deliver on the A13 widening and M25 interchange. And we will lobby for improved rail infrastructure, addressing some of the bottlenecks – particularly around level crossings, where only modest investment could make a significant difference to freight rates and time. “These are three examples. As we go forward, there will be more. The general point is, the Port of London needs to be able to speak with one voice on some of the key issues.” A new port infrastructure forum is being planned, to meet regularly and discuss what is needed. And that, says Robin Mortimer, reflects an important message on the Thames: l Competition where it is appropriate. l Cooperation where it is appropriate.

The Thames Vision In December 2015, the Port of London Authority launched for consultation a publication setting out the six goals proposed for the Thames Vision and the 24 priority actions needed to achieve them. The goals are... l The busiest ever Port of London, handling 60-80 million tonnes of cargo each year (in 2014 the port handled 44.5 million tonnes); l Double the number of people travelling by river – reaching 20 million commuter and tourist trips every year; l More goods and materials moved between wharves on the river, taking 550,000 lorry trips off the region’s roads; l The cleanest Thames since the Industrial Revolution, with improved habitats in the water and on adjoining land; l Greater participation in sport and recreation on the water; l A riverside which is a magnet for ramblers, historians, artists and others, whether living nearby, on the river or travelling from further afield. The 24 Priority Actions include improving the main navigation channels, reactivating safeguarded wharves, a long-term pier strategy, including new piers at Thamesmead, Erith, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Grays and Tilbury, development of sport opportunity zones along the river, and Tideway completing the Thames Tideway Tunnel (the ‘super-sewer’ project) as planned.

The cleanest Thames since the Industrial Revolution, with improved water and land habitats

Adding Value: The River Thames Public Amenity study... This is the first study of its kind. The economic value of cargo and passenger operations on the Thames might be relatively easy to assess, but quantifying the ‘intangible benefits’ is more of a challenge. This includes a place to play on the water; a place to enjoy the sights of a historic world city; a haven of peace in a bustling city. The Adding Value report found... l Tourism-related employment in wards next to the Thames generates 99,000 jobs; l £2.4 billion of GVA is generated by tourism associated with the river; l There are 23.4 million tourist visits to Thames-side attractions every year; l Annual Thames and maritimerelated attractions bring in 4.7 million visitors; l Residents take 10 million walks or bike rides on the Thames towpath every year; l There are around 5,800 regular rowers; l The value of Thames-side sport and recreation is put at £132 million; l The ‘wellbeing’ for residents and visitors provided by the Thames leads to a direct cost saving for the National Health Service – an estimated £500,000 a year. The data shows that the tidal Thames is thriving, PLA chief executive Robin Mortimer told journalists and guests at the launch of the reports. He emphasised that the PLA’s commitment to safeguarding wharves for port use remained crucial in making sure sites were available for moving freight on the river. Millions of people depend on the Port of London for warmth, heat, light, transport, food, drink, reading material, furniture, buildings and the whole range of consumer goods. To emphasise the Port of London’s importance in the supply chain, the London International Shipping Week launch event featured a ‘show and tell’ table – a collection of products that illustrated the wide variety of goods imported through the terminals and wharves on the Thames: golden syrup, grapes, wine, lamb, vegetable oil, car oil and laundry detergent were amongst the items on display.

Investment

Investment and expansion The findings of the Economic Impact report published by the Port of London Authority in 2015 make it clear: the Thames is poised for massive investment. Port and marine operators on the river are planning a total of £1 billion of new investment over the next five years, from major new developments at the Port of Tilbury and DP World London Gateway, to expanded facilities for handling liquid bulks, new vessels and piers for the everincreasing number of passengers on the Thames, and new and renewed facilities for cruise ships. Alongside all of this, the PLA itself continues to invest in equipment and facilities to ensure that that the needs and interests of the wide variety of stakeholders are met.

runs from Teddington Lock to the North Sea”, the Titan represents the largest single investment made by the PLA in the last two decades. The vessel was designed by UK-based naval architect MacDuff Ship Design, working in close collaboration with the PLA’s marine engineers, masters and crew to ensure it was fit for purpose – or, to put it more accurately, fit for many purposes. Built by Manor Marine in Portland, the Titan, 36.5 metres long and 13.5 metres wide, is designed to lay buoys, haul wreckage from the bottom of the river, support diving operations and carry London Titan out small plough dredging operations. It When it comes to making headlines in is squat and shallow enough to negotiate 2015, the mighty London Titan took top bridges as far upriver as Richmond, and spot. The £7 million mooring maintenance robust enough to operate in the outer vessel (MMV) was officially launched at estuary. Tower Pier, in central London, in The London Titan was officially named December. Described by one journalist by Thurrock MP Jackie Doyle-Price at the as “a good, solid answer to the puzzle of December ceremony, with shipping looking after 95 miles of the Thames that minister Robert Goodwill MP as guest of honour. It has replaced the PLA’s two salvage vessels, Crossness and Hookness, which have been sold, after 40 years of sterling service.

Investment

2016 brings another vessel into the PLA fleet – the Maplin, a new hydrographic survey vessel. The 17-metre catamaran was built by the Colchester yard of CTruk to replace the 15-metre Yantlet, which has been retired after 20 years’ service. Along the length of the tidal Thames, investments in port and terminal infrastructure and facilities continued in 2015: Tilbury: The Port of Tilbury expanded its land area by 25% with the acquisition of a large portion of the former Tilbury Power Station site and announced another major development at its 70-acre London Distribution Park. On the main port estate, a £20 million temperaturecontrolled distribution centre for NFT Distribution is in the final stages of construction and due to be operational in the first quarter of 2016. DP World London Gateway: DP World London Gateway started construction of its third deepwater berth – opening up another 400 metres of quay with a depth of 17 metres alongside, it is expected to be operational in the second half of 2016. UPS announced a £120 million investment in a 32,000 square metre facility on the adjacent logistics park, where the first distribution centre was officially opened. Thames Clippers: MBNA Thames Clippers took delivery of two new passenger boats – the Galaxy Clipper and Neptune Clipper. Built in Australia at a cost of £6.5 million, the high-speed catamarans carry up to 150 passengers

each and are the most efficient and technically advanced commuter vessels on the Thames. Meanwhile, a new £2.8 million state-of-the-art passenger pier was opened – Plantation Wharf, at Battersea, providing a much-needed extra stopping point on the RB6 route between Blackfriars and Putney. Stolthaven Dagenham: A bitumen distribution centre, supplying the UK’s road-building and construction industry, was opened at Stolthaven Dagenham. Tarmac: Tarmac’s cement and aggregates distribution hub at West Thurrock combines a deepwater wharf with railloading facilities and excellent access to the local road network. In 2015, Tarmac invested in new processing facilities at Thurrock for marine-dredged aggregates boosting both production capability and resilience at this location. Cemex: Building materials solutions company CEMEX developed a new sea-dredged aggregate wharf at Dagenham, making this the closest aggregate production north of the river to central London, with production capacity of 500,000 tonnes a year.

Five weeks of filming Spectre the latest James Bond film, including the scene of a helicopter crashing on to Westmister Bridge

Whether it’s leading a procession of historic vessels or coordinating the filming of the latest James Bond blockbuster, the PLA works to support all stakeholders on the river.

“Old Father Thames keeps rolling along”, Dr David Hilling said at the WISTA UK conference held during London International Shipping Week in September 2015. This “great street paved with water” is a four to eight-lane highway that goes right through the centre of London, but which has not perhaps been paid the attention it should have been paid in recent years, said Dr Hilling. He was giving a joint presentation with Commander David Phillips, the Port of London Authority’s chief harbour master, who described the work of the PLA in ensuring safety of navigation, looking after the environment, promoting the use of the tidal Thames, and working closely with all stakeholders. Meeting the very different priorities and needs of all stakeholders is a challenge – the PLA works with 22 local boroughs along the river, as well as Kent and Essex County Councils and the Greater London Authority. Who are the stakeholders? They range from Thames Clippers, carrying thousands of passengers on the river every day… to stand-up paddle-boarding

enthusiasts enjoying one of the newer activities on the river… to barges carrying tunnelling spoil and domestic waste out of the capital… to the world’s largest container ships calling at DP World London Gateway. And every year, the Thames welcomes the unusual, the expected and the unexpected, including in 2015... l Five weeks of filming for Spectre, the latest James Bond film, including the scene of a helicopter crashing on to Westminster Bridge. “We had to clear the river, manage the traffic and coordinate it all,” says Mark Towens, harbour master (upper). l The Tall Ships festival at Greenwich on August Bank Holiday weekend: 15 tall ships were involved in the Parade of Sail, including two particularly large vessels – the Santa Maria Manuela and Dar Mlodziezy. On the same weekend, the Clipper round-the-world yacht race started from St Katharine Docks. l A procession of historic vessels led by the PLA’s harbour launch, Barnes, helped to mark the day when the Queen became Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, in September. The Royal row barge Gloriana and former PLA survey vessel Havengore were amongst the boats which made their way from Tower Bridge to the Houses

of Parliament. A similar procession was organised earlier in the year to mark the 50th anniversary of Winston Churchill’s funeral. Bearing in mind the increasing pressure on river space, the PLA and London River Services worked together on a joint Thames capacity study. “Its purpose was to look at the use of the river in terms of the Mayor’s plan to double the number of passengers, along with the increased use of the waterborne freight from the Thames Tideway Tunnel project and Northern Line extension works,” says Mark Towens. “The study has been a real step forward in terms of collaboration between the two

organisations. We had identified current capacity issues – and also identified ways to increase capacity.” Work has also been ongoing regarding regulations for freight vessels operating in central London – again, with Tideway in mind. “We want to encourage a change in approach, to pusher tugs instead of towing – this is what they use on waterways like the Rhine, and it is considered safer,” he says. In addition, where the maximum length of vessel permitted in central London was 65 metres because of swinging limitations at Putney, this has been increased to 80 metres in total, for barge and tug combined. And again, at the other end of the scale, the PLA has drawn up new rules for stand-up paddle boards on the Thames. Previously these were only permitted between Putney and Teddington; the area has been extended, but under tight controls and safety guidance.

Victoria Deep Water Terminal for the HNLM Johan de Witte Construction materials company Hanson helped save the day when a berth was required at the last minute for a prestigious Royal Netherlands Navy vessel. A ceremonial visit in September 2015 by Her Netherlands Majesty’s Ship Johan de Witte, a 176-metre amphibious ship, had been in the planning for around two years. However, a few days before the vessel’s planned arrival, the Greenwich Ship Tier became unavailable because of damage caused by a mooring incident. The HNLM Johan de Witte was left without a berth and there were fears that the high-profile call might have to be cancelled. “I had an urgent call from a Royal Navy commander asking if we could help, as our Victoria Deep Water Terminal near Greenwich was the only other place that could handle a ship that size,” said wharf manager Steve Chidgey. Hanson rearranged its barge deliveries to provide space for the vessel to dock for its six-day visit. The HNLM Johan de Witte’s programme was planned to tie in with a number of key events, including Totally Thames, The Great River Race and London International Shipping Week. The vessel was also providing support for a Dutch rowing challenge across the North Sea. In addition, the Tower of London had granted the captain and officers of the vessel the honour of performing the historic ‘Ceremony of the Constable’s Dues’, a privilege rarely accorded to a visiting foreign warship.

The River

Freight by river: tideway of enthusiasm The role of the Thames as a ‘green superhighway’ for freight has been recognised and promoted by many. Now, the river’s credentials are to be tested as never before with the construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel, the new 25-kilometre-long ‘super sewer’ that is to be excavated straight through the centre of London.

“We are telling our contractors, ‘If anything goes by road, you have to justify it. Every barge carrying 1,000 tonnes should have a big sign on it saying Another 50 trucks off the road” Andy Mitchell, Chief Executive of Tideway 30 Port of London Handbook

Never has commitment to the use of the river for freight been so strong. Andy Mitchell, the chief executive of Tideway, believes that in terms of barges and tugs, the project will generate the largest civil marine fleet the river has ever seen. While millions of tonnes of excavated spoil will leave London via the river, massive pieces of construction equipment, cranes, tunnel boring machines, tunnel segments and construction materials will all be transported to the three main drive sites and other riverside sites by river. “We are committed in our Development Consent Order (DCO) to moving 90% of

the heavy transport by river,” he says. “But for me, that is not enough. I am turning it on its head and saying: if you have a river frontage, explain to me why anything goes by road. We are telling our contractors, ‘If anything goes by road, you have to justify it. Every barge carrying 1,000 tonnes should have a big sign on it saying Another 50 trucks off the road’. “However, we are not just talking big aggregate barges. If you are alongside the river, there is no reason why everything, even lightbulbs, can’t come and go by boat. This is a great opportunity for all of us to show how useful the river can be and what a contribution it can make to London – to reconnect London with the River Thames.” James Trimmer, the PLA’s director of planning and environment, says: “The Tideway project will demonstrate in the best way possible what the river can do and what we can all do to get lorries off the capital’s roads if we put our minds to it. This is a real step change in using the river for major infrastructure projects in London. The rebuilding of Blackfriars Station, the construction of the Lea Tunnel and Crossrail were all precursors to this project and we will be using all that we learned with those projects to ensure the maximisation of the use of the river. “Blackfriars was a great success in using the river within the centre of

London, but on a much smaller scale. Crossrail and the Lea Tunnel resulted in large volumes being transported by water east of the busy, central London reaches. Sites on the river for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project extend all the way to Putney and all three of the main tunnel drive sites will be served from the river. In addition to items such as the tunnel segments, what we want to achieve is that the sundries and consumables – lubricants, materials, and so on – will be delivered on an ad hoc basis by river, almost just-in-time. This is one of the ways we see the river developing in the future. We know that bulks and non timesensitive deliveries have formed the basis of river traffic up to now – but the legacy of the Thames Tideway project should be to move the river forwards as an integral part of the capital’s logistics framework.” The PLA has three roles to play in the progress of Tideway: l Consenting the river works l Promoting the use of the river and the project generally l Coordinating the day-to-day operations of this massive project across sites on the river from east to west, and straight through central London Construction of the £4.2 billion tunnel is due to start early in 2016; the first major moves on the river will be barges removing spoil as work begins on the shafts for the main drive sites. The Thames Tideway Tunnel will capture flows from 34 Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), dramatically reducing the amount of untreated sewage that can

overflow into the tidal Thames. The main tunnel will be 25 kms long with an internal diameter of between 6.5 and 7.2 metres – the equivalent to the width of three London buses. Its depth will be between 35 metres in west London and 65 metres in east London. Tideway has awarded three construction contracts: to a joint venture of BAM Nuttall, Morgan Sindall and Balfour Beatty for the west section; to a joint venture of Ferrovial Agroman UK and Laing O’Rourke Construction for the central section; and to a joint venture of Costain, Vinci Construction Grands Projets and Bachy Soletanche for the east section. “We are in discussions with all involved as part of the Optimised Contractor Involvement (OCI) process, to work out how they are going to use the river and where they are going to dispose of the spoil,” says Jim Trimmer. “But what is absolutely clear to the contractors is that the river will be the principal element of how it will be built. A big part of our role will be liaising between the project and those already operating on the river to make sure that this huge programme fits in as seamlessly as possible with existing movements.

River movement of materials keeps over 250,000 lorries off London’s roads.

Thames Skills Academy Jim Trimmer is the PLA’s project director for Tideway, while Terry Lawrence, formerly harbour master (upper), is now the PLA’s dedicated harbour master (Tideway). But the PLA’s involvement goes still further – to the matter of training and skills. Julian Parkes, the PLA’s deputy chief harbour master, has been seconded for nine months as project manager to establish the new Thames Skills Academy, being set up in partnership with Tideway to specifically address training and upskilling for those operating tugs, barges and other vessels working on the project. The aim is to provide training for 300 people, including boatmasters and mates, engineers and deckhands, through the Academy, which will be established with the support of the Skills Funding Agency. “The Thames Skills Academy will be established as a group training association – essentially a collective of employers coming together to provide local dedicated training,” says Julian Parkes. “There is a strong desire to have a common, effective marine training regime on the river – that need has been emphasised and highlighted by the fact that we have Tideway starting. Tideway will double the number of freight movements through central London at its peak – therefore we need the proper number of qualified, trained, scrutinised people to operate these vessels. As well has having the Boat Master’s Licence, they will also have to go through Tideway’s training scheme to be accredited to work with the contractors.” To be operating by September 2016, the new Academy will provide ancillary safety training and other courses as well as Boat Master’s Licence training. “We need to move fast to ensure we have sufficient trained people in place for the peak of the Tideway spoil movements,” says Julian Parkes. Tideway’s Andy Mitchell says, “We have done a lot of work with the PLA to define the competencies required. The Academy is due to open its doors in September – and we will do whatever we have to do to make that happen. Not only will we have created that legacy of a logistics boost for the river, but we will also have created hundreds of trained people to take that legacy forward.” Tideway: the ‘goldfish’ approach The Tideway project is going to be very visible and very high profile – as chief executive Andy Mitchell says: “We will be goldfish in a bowl, and that gives us two choices. Either we are apologetic goldfish or we are the biggest, brightest, loudest

Special delivery... thousands of tonnes of materials pumped direct by ship into cofferdams for the Wood Wharf scheme at Canary Wharf.

and most entertaining goldfish you can be. We call this “the theatre of engineering”. We will be moving huge, impressive pieces of kit – why not celebrate it? We have the opportunity to present ourselves and the industry in an imaginative way, while at the same time showcasing the river. “The tunnel follows the line of the river – the tunnelling machines will be covering 20-30 metres per day, tunnelling 24 hours, five days a week at the start but probably increasing to 24/6 or 24/7. We need to tell our story. We are working very closely with the PLA and strongly support the Vision project – explaining the use and value of the river to London. “From a road safety point of view, the roads are not getting any quieter and there are more and more cyclists in London. Every truck on the road is another opportunity to have an accident. From that point alone, getting trucks off the roads and freight on to the river has to be a good idea. “Second, trucks trying to get to anywhere in London have to get there so early – therefore you need lorry holding areas before it can go to the site. There is unpredictability of travel times and a restriction on the number of drops you can get out of a truck in a day when it is constrained by traffic. You don’t get traffic jams on the river – it makes commercial sense to use it.” “We will crack this and we will use the river over the next three to four years to the extent that we will demonstrate to London why the river is of such value to the city.” Preparing for Tideway Work has started at a number of sites along the River Thames in advance of, and in preparation for, the actual Tideway Tunnel construction project. Among them, VolkerStevin is working on sites at Blackfriars and at Victoria Embankment. l Blackfriars: VolkerStevin is constructing a new pier to replace the Blackfriars Millennium Pier and constructing a new lift and stairs connecting Blackfriars Bridge and Paul’s Walk. The jack-up barge Haven Seaway, with a 110-tonne telescopic crawler crane, arrived onsite at the end of 2015 – marking the start of the work, which includes sheet piling, tubular piling, dredging and landscaping works. Once the new pier has been commissioned and handed over to Transport for London and London River Services, VolkerStevin will remove the Blackfriars Millennium Pier, to free up that site for Tideway works. l Victoria Embankment: New moorings, with steps and gangways, are to be installed for the restaurant boat Tattershall Castle, so that it can be moved upstream to free up a site required for the Tideway project. VolkerStevin’s marine load-out facility for the project is located at Silvertown.

Special metals and alloys are delivered to the site and the ELG Haniel team gets to work in the yard – sorting by hand and machine to ensure that what goes out to steelworks around the world meets some very exacting standards Going for green Recycling metal and routine use of the river for moving it: the ultimate example of green virtues can be found at the premises of ELG Haniel Metals in Barking Creek. Part of the German group Haniel, the company has operated at Alexander Wharf for 20 years, receiving, processing and loading out stainless steel scrap. Special metals and alloys are delivered to the site by metal merchants, demolition contractors and others, and the ELG Haniel team gets to work in the yard – sorting by hand and machine to ensure that what goes out to steelworks around the world meets some very exacting standards. The processed stainless steel is pressed into large cubes by a mechanical baler and loaded to coastal vessels heading mainly up the east coast to Immingham or Keadby, but also to Rotterdam for consolidation and onward shipping by Haniel. What comes in to the Barking site? Everything including the kitchen sink, it seems. General manager David Cook says: “We receive sinks, catering and kitchen equipment, metals from paper mills, breweries and chemical works. Our job is to sort it, removing anything that isn’t stainless steel, and to clean and process it, ensuring that the material we send out is up to steelworks quality. “We load about one vessel a month, each vessel taking about 1,100 tonnes. At Immingham or Keadby, the stainless steel is picked up by trucks to be delivered straight to the steelworks nearby. The stainless steel that goes to Rotterdam will be transhipped into larger vessels to be transported to steelworks around the world.” In the case of the UK, the decision to take the bales out by water is a crucial one. “One vessel removes about 60 lorries from the roads,” says David Cook. “But it isn’t only because of the ‘green’ aspect. There is such a shortage of bulk road haulage – and it is very expensive. Moving the metal by water makes perfect sense.”

Cruise

London: a cruise ‘marquee destination’ With its history, culture, Royal traditions and iconic landmarks, it’s no surprise that London is recognised in the cruise industry as a ‘marquee destination’.

34 Port of London Handbook

May 2015 brought a remarkable sight to the River Thames; the 48,000-ton luxury cruise ship Viking Star, on her maiden voyage, being guided by the PLA’s pilots through the Thames Barrier on her way to the PLA’s cruise moorings at Greenwich, which were specially lengthened to accommodate her. The largest passenger ship ever to pass through the Barrier, the 228-metre long, nine-deck Viking Star attracted headlines, photographers and onlookers, turning the spotlight firmly on London’s unique attractions as a world-beating cruise destination. Figures from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) show that global demand for cruise holidays is rising rapidly – the number of people going on a cruise increased by 68% in the ten years from 2004, to reach a total of 22 million people in 2014. Among cruising’s top ten coun-

tries, the UK accounted for 15% of global passengers – 3.38 million people. London is recognised as a ‘marquee’ destination, which means a destination that can sell a cruise just by being included. Bearing in mind the history, culture, Royal traditions and iconic landmarks, that’s no surprise. Add in the capital’s excellent air links, and London’s attractions for both day calls and turnaround calls are clear. Historic Tilbury The number of passengers passing through the Port of Tilbury’s historic London Cruise Terminal nearly doubled in 2015, to more than 100,000 – and the numbers are expected to rise again, significantly, in 2016. The dramatic increase last year (2015) reflected Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ decision to bring in a second vessel, so the Magellan joined the Marco Polo as a regular caller at Tilbury.

The terminal’s other major customer is Fred. Olsen, with the Boudicca. “The cruise sector certainly continues to look positive,” says Perry Glading, chief operating officer of Forth Ports, which owns the Port of Tilbury. Built in the 1930s, London Cruise Terminal is a Grade II Listed building. It is famous for being the departure point for thousands of Britons emigrating to Australia and the Commonwealth before the arrival of affordable air travel; the terminal and its unique floating landing stage have been used as the backdrop for numerous films and television dramas. The building has benefited from some very substantial investment by Forth Ports in recent years, and this investment is continuing. Work in 2015 including refurbishing the floating part of the terminal, which

included renewing the buoyancy tanks and timbers underneath the landing stage. In addition, the cupola roof was renewed. “We invested £3.5 million in the course of 2015,” says Perry Glading. “During 2016 and into 2017, we will be finishing off the floating part of the terminal and also upgrading the old rail terminal. We are hoping to secure some Heritage Lottery funding for this.” Cruises departing from Tilbury generally head north to Scandinavia, the Baltic and Russia, or south to the Azores and the Caribbean.

London City Cruise Terminal In central London, the planned London City Cruise Port will provide berthing for cruise ships up to 230 metres long and eight metres draft. To be built at Enderby Wharf on the Royal Greenwich peninsula, the terminal is expected to welcome small to midsize ships, often in the niche luxury market and carrying between 50 and 1,600 passengers, with the average range of 600-800 passengers. The Royal Borough of Greenwich planning board has passed a resolution to approve the Enderby Place planning application. “This will allow Enderby

Riverside Ltd to drive forward the development programme, which will see an exciting new cruise facility in the heart of Greenwich,” says Kate O’Hara, CEO of London City Cruise Port. At the Meridian Line and in view of the famous Royal Greenwich World Heritage Site, the plans for London City Cruise Port are attracting huge interest among the world’s luxury cruise lines. “All the feedback is positive and shows that London is considered as a ‘marquee’ destination and of great interest to a number of luxury cruise lines for inclusion in their itineraries,” says Kate O’Hara. “It is a fantastic location and the fact that we are also planning to work with river buses

on the Thames means it is also very acceptable for both turnaround and transit calls.” London City Cruise Port has joined with Visit Greenwich, the Cutty Sark, the O2 and many other visitor attractions in the area to create a destination management organisation which is unique in London.

Port of Tilbury

Connected, creative, consolidated: Port of Tilbury The Port of Tilbury is expanding, and that expansion is dramatic – in volume, in connections, in land area, in access for larger vessels, in quayside facilities, in the number of jobs it is creating and also in the number of apprentices it is taking on.

38 Port of London Handbook

“As London continues to grow, so Tilbury is growing; it is an absolute must,” says Perry Glading, chief operating officer of Forth Ports, which owns Tilbury. Perhaps the most significant announcement in recent weeks has been Forth Ports’ acquisition of a large part of the site occupied by the now closed Tilbury Power Station – 152 acres, along with the facility’s deepwater jetties. Right next door to the main Tilbury port estate, the opportunities are immediately apparent. This, says Perry Glading, is ‘a significant step forward in our overall offering’. “This acquisition will give us up to 25% additional land area, with access to deep water,” he says. In parallel, the port has continued with the development of its 70-acre London Distribution Park, where Travis Perkins’ new forest products distribution centre is now up and running. In December 2015, a full planning application was submitted for a massive new sorting and fulfilment centre development in the southern part of the park. This facility will cover 2.2 million square feet; as well as the warehouse and distribution building, the development includes offices and yard

areas, security and amenity buildings, parking, roads and landscaping. Inside the main port estate, meanwhile, more land is being freed up for new opportunities. “This is an ongoing process of seeking to improve the use of assets, land and warehousing – ensuring that they work smarter for us,” says Perry Glading. As part of this process, Forth Ports has taken over the Berth 44 area, including 500,000 square feet of facility, which will now come entirely under the control of the port. “This will enhance our plywood and timber consolidation activities within the port and really puts us in an even stronger position to deal with the uplift in the construction industry in the South East of the UK.” This, he says, is very much linked to the London Construction Link (LCL), a construction alliance between the Port of Tilbury and S Walsh; combining consolidation and waterborne transport on the Thames, LCL is poised to play a major role in future infrastructure projects in the capital. LCL, which was showcased at the London Infrastructure Summit in March 2015, is now no longer a ‘concept’ but a reality, says Perry Glading.

The Port of Tilbury handles more than half a million containers a year.

“So far it has mainly involved spoil coming out of London by water – for example, for the Crossrail project. We have also handled other projects, such as materials for Blackfriars Bridge and the former Battersea Power Station cranes. The next step will be construction-related products being consolidated here and going direct to the construction sites in London by water. It is about us working with the construction companies, and the planners, to get as much as we can moved from road to water – the logical way. “We are a 24-hour port and we are on the doorstep of London, just 22 nautical miles from Tower Bridge. Large pieces of construction equipment can come here from all over the UK and the world; we can consolidate and sort it here. Waterborne transport is the target. However, if the cargo cannot go by water, trucks can deliver goods from here into London at non-peak times, giving haulage companies a much better level of productivity. Consolidation at Tilbury ticks all the boxes and is environmentally right for London.” The Port of Tilbury is a diverse, multimodal, multi-talented hub, handling an extraordinary range of cargoes: containers and roll-on/roll off, cocoa and coffee, bricks, timber and cement, paper, beer and wine, grain and animal feed, cars and yachts, along with a massive

range of ‘waste’ products for recycling, such as scrap, glass, ash, tunnelling spoil and shredded, baled household rubbish being exported for waste-to-energy projects in Sweden and other development markets in this sector. More than 120 companies operate within the port, which handles more than 16 million tonnes of cargo a year. Six miles from the M25 and with direct rail connections and dedicated barge facilities, the port covers close to 1,100 acres and has more than six million square feet of warehousing. There are 34 operational berths with a total quayside of about 7.5 kms In December 2015, Transport Minister Robert Goodwill visited Tilbury to see firsthand the impact of the port’s significant investment programme. He arrived by boat from central London – giving him the opportunity see the port’s London connection for himself. In the same week, the port handled its one millionth freight unit with P&O Ferries, whose Tilbury-Zeebrugge roll-on/ roll-off service has gone from strength to strength since it was first set up in 2007. “Recent growth in volumes has been somewhat supported by the problems on the Dover-Calais route, with shippers switching some of their trailers to this route,” says Perry Glading. “However, even without that factor, we are seeing sustainable growth on this service.” In December, it was reported that P&O Ferries was on course to carry a record 180,000 units of freight in one year on the

route. The service operates 24 sailings a week, with each ship able to double-stack containers. Another major port user with rapidly growing volumes is Hyundai, which imported more than 90,000 cars through the port in 2015 – most of these arriving on deepsea car carriers, but a significant 30% arriving on P&O Ferries’ service from Zeebrugge.

Waste and recycling Tilbury is the UK’s largest waste export facility, with an estimated 15% of its turnover linked to the recycling market. In 2014, the port signed a long-term partnership with SITA to create a major recycling and resource management hub at Berths 32-33. That processing plant is now up and running and volumes are picking up fast. Meanwhile, Tilbury has signed a new longer-term agreement with scrap processing and exporting company EMR, which will be investing in a new shipto-shore crane and additional handling equipment in 2016.

Containers Shortsea shipping specialists MacAndrews and OPDR announced in December that they would be joining forces at the Port of Tilbury’s London Container Terminal. On January 1, 2016, MacAndrews’ services joined OPDR’s existing services at the port, making Tilbury the group’s biggest North European hub, with nine calls per week and over 450 calls per year. MacAndrews and OPDR services link Tilbury with Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Poland, Morocco and Canary Islands. Till Ole Barrelet, chief executive of OPDR and

chief operational officer of MacAndrews, said: “The location, the port-centric logistics and the connectivity with the CMA CGM Group were the decisive factors for the decision to consolidate at the Port of Tilbury.” The Port of Tilbury handles more than half a million containers a year in total. Volumes through London Container Terminal grew by about 4% in 2015 and are expected to increase substantially in 2016.

The port spent nearly £250,000 refurbishing the former London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games building to create a new dedicated centre for logistics-related education and training 44 Port of London Handbook

Grain and animal feeds 2015 brought new partners to Tilbury in both the grain and animal feed operations. In January, a new five-year agreement was announced with Cefetra, one of the leading supply chain managers in the UK, to handle animal feed products into the port for the East Anglian area. The agreement will see the terminal at Tilbury handling thousands of tonnes of animal feed each year; the port has also provided a dedicated 60,000-tonne storage facility on the quayside. In the same month, a strategic partnership was announced between the port and Frontier Agriculture. Jointly owned by Associated British Foods and Cargill, Frontier is the UK’s largest crop inputs and grain marketing business. On the day that Frontier took control of the grain terminal in July, it also agreed its first sale. The vessel, the Aasfjord, loaded 6,000 tonnes of feed wheat two weeks later, with the cargo destined for Rotterdam.

Investments and announcements 2015 was a busy year of big announcements at Tilbury, as the port continued to expand in terms of both volumes and variety including... l The construction of a £20 million temperature-controlled distribution centre in a long-term partnership with NFT Distribution was announced. The 220,000 square foot building is next door to London Container Terminal – one of the largest reefer container facilities in Europe, with more than 1,400 reefer points and onsite examination services for Customs clearance… the perfect recipe for developing chilled port-centric distribution. l Pentalver, one of the UK’s leading container logistics providers, announced a significant investment – relocating from the depot it had operated at Tilbury for seven years, to a new purpose-built facility designed with a high level of automation. The 6.6-acre facility at Berth 43 is close to London Container Terminal. l The Port of Tilbury port hosted a briefing and networking day for retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers and food importers, to discuss the rapidly developing area of temperature-controlled

port-centric logistics, linked to the NFT development. With construction work finished at the end of 2015, the NFT centre is due to be operational in March 2016 and will handle up to 25,000 pallets per week. l Frontier Agriculture took control of the grain terminal. “Working with Tilbury means that we are able to offer a range of new markets and strengthen our position in terms of global exports,” said wheat trader Marc Rogerson. l A new weekly service into Tilbury was announced by container group CMA CGM. The Euraf1 service between Northern Europe and West Africa provides competitive transit times and is particularly in demand for transport of bananas from West Africa into the UK. The route, served by six 3,500 teu vessels has a rotation of Tilbury, Dunkirk, Antwerp, Montoir de Bretagne, Tanger Med, Algeciras, Dakar and Abidjan, and back again via Dakar and Algeciras.

More jobs, more training In terms of CSR, job creation is a prime driver at Tilbury, says Perry Glading. “At the beginning of 2015, approximately 3,500 people were employed by the port community; during the year, another 900 jobs were created. We also have many more apprentices in the port this year.” Tilbury was highly commended in the 2015 Containerisation International Awards for its new East of England Logistics Academy. The port spent nearly £250,000 refurbishing the former London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games building to create a new dedicated centre for logistics-related education and training. The Academy provides pre-employment training, traineeships and apprenticeships in partnership with Thurrock Council, Jobcentre Plus and Ixion Holdings, part of Anglia Ruskin University.

Green initiatives “We are still pushing forward with our green initiatives at the port, including some ‘softer’ changes during 2015,” says Perry Glading. The port operates four wind turbines, each with 2.3 mega watt capacity, together generating half of the port’s electricity requirements. A 3.5-acre haulage parking area has recently been opened at London Distribution Park – important for creating more space around the port for hauliers and keeping trucks off the local roads and out of laybys. In March 2015, the UK Green Investment Bank and Irish utility group ESB announced plans for a £190 million renewable electricity plant at the Port of Tilbury. The Tilbury Green Power facility, being built on the former Cargill site, will use waste wood to produce more than 300 GW of electricity a year, enough to power more than 70,000 homes. The partners said up to 370 jobs would be created during the construction phase and nearly 50 permanent jobs once the plant is operational. Up to 270,000 tonnes per year of waste wood fuel will be sourced from the local catchment area and processed at an onsite facility. Those environmental commitments tie in with the Port of Tilbury’s commitment to creating, enabling and supporting costeffective, low-carbon and flexible supply chains. “Tilbury is the critical hub for a vast array of port-centric supply chain solutions,” he says. “We are on the doorstep of a rapidly expanding capital city and we continue to invest and innovate in order to meet the growing and ever more complex logistics requirements of London and the wider region.”

“The new third berth will create many new jobs and is a signal that the UK maritime sector is continuing to grow” Patrick McLoughlin Transport Secretary

DP World London Gateway continues to invest in new deepwater berthing and state-of-the-art logistics facilities.

London Gateway is handling increasing numbers of ultra large container ships.

DP World London Gateway Port, the UK’s new deepwater container terminal opened in 2013, has continued on its path of development and construction, both water and land-side. Work is now well advanced on the port’s third deepwater berth; in the early part of 2015, contracts were awarded to VolkerFitzpatrick for civil and electrical works and four more giant quay cranes were ordered from ZPMC. Berth Three, which will open up another 400 metres of quay with a depth of 17 metres alongside, is expected to be operational in the second half of 2016. DP World London Gateway announced this next phase of investment during a visit by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin, who was able to take in the view of the container port and logistics park next door from the top of one of the world’s tallest quay cranes. “The continued expansion of DP World London Gateway Port proves Britain is a country where companies want to invest,” he said. “The new third berth will create many new jobs and is a signal that the UK maritime sector is continuing to grow.” He added: “Having visited the port, I have seen for myself what a fantastic piece of infrastructure it is and the opportunity that exists for even further growth and expansion at this site. Putting in place the right foundation, to allow businesses like DP World to prosper in the UK, is part of the Government’s long-term economic plan.” Meanwhile, DP World London Gateway continued to smash records in 2015. It handled the Triple-E class 18,300 teu Munkebo Maersk in February – the largest ship ever to sail up the Thames – the 18,800 teu UASC Barzan in

September and two more of Maersk Line’s Triple-E vessels in December. “We have demonstrated again that we are more than capable of handling the world’s biggest containerships,” says Simon Moore, chief executive of DP World London Gateway. “But ships are only going to get bigger and DP World London Gateway has been built to future-proof its operational capacity, delivering efficiency that simply can’t be achieved elsewhere. “Our weather-resilient quay cranes, which are the biggest in the world, can reach across 25 rows of containers and have a superior lift height – both wider and higher than any ship currently in service.” Connections, connections After finishing 2014 with a flurry of new shipping services, DP World London Gateway welcomed further new arrivals in 2015. Mediterranean Shipping Company added DP World London Gateway to its Australia Express Service, the fastest direct service between Northern Europe and Australia in the market. The rotation is DP World London Gateway, Antwerp, Le Havre, Fos-Sur-Mer, La Spezia, Naples, Gioia Tauro, Port Louis, Pointe des Galets, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle, Colombo, King Abdullah, Valencia, DP World London Gateway; the MSC Roberta made the first call on this service in August.

London Gateway

Another milestone: work begins on Berth Three

London Gateway will provide six berths along 2,700 metres of quay, with depth alongside of 17 metres. There will be a total of 24 quay cranes, and annual capacity of 3.5 million teu The past and the future... DP World London Gateway was built on the site of the former Shell Haven oil refinery – transforming the site from dereliction to brand new, state-of-the-art automated container port. The port was officially opened in November 2013. When fully developed, London Gateway will provide six berths along 2,700 metres of quay, with depth alongside of 17 metres. There will be a total of 24 quay cranes, and annual capacity of 3.5 million teu.

London Gateway... two berths operational and berth three well advanced.

Logistics Park While DP World London Gateway’s terminal operations continued to flourish – with just one closure due to weather, and truck turnround times at around 30 minutes – during 2015 it was very much the turn of the adjacent nine million square foot logistics park to shine, with developments moving on apace. The world’s largest packet delivery firm UPS announced that it will invest £120 million in a 32,000 square metre facility on the logistics park. This will be one of UPS’s largest ever infrastructure investments outside the United States and will act as a UK hub and distribution centre for the local area as well as a key gateway to its global transportation network. Once completed, this state-of-the-art facility will be able to process approximately 30,000 packages per hour, with room for further expansion. The first distribution centre on the park, the DP World London Gateway Logistics

Centre (formerly known as the Common User Facility), was officially opened by Transport Minister Robert Goodwill. Operated by Import Services Ltd, the new centre offers a menu of logistics services and activities on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ basis, ranging from devanning to cross-docking, storage and value-added activities such as pick-and-pack, labelling, pre-retail and distribution. The first phase of the centre has provided 16,800 square metre of distribution and logistics space – and is already full with cargo from Asia bound for shop floors across the UK. Fast-growing Essexbased freight forwarding firm Westbound Shipping Services was announced in 2014 as the first tenant to take office space at the Logistics Centre. Westbound had outgrown its offices in Brentwood and chose to relocate to London Gateway as it geared up for further growth. Director Ryan Clark said Westbound wanted to ‘absorb the positivity’ of the UK’s new deepwater container port and logistics park. Another early tenant was John Good Shipping, one of the UK’s largest and

longest established independent shipping companies, which has taken on 465 square metre of high-tech office accommodation. The last vacant office space was snapped up by Estuary Logistics. Running parallel to the development of the London Gateway Logistics Centre was the construction of a new 316,000 square foot distribution centre – a joint venture between DP World and Prologis providing 301,438 square feet of flexible distribution space together with office space and plenty of parking for trucks and cars. The development is expected to create around 100 full-time jobs, and there is potential to extend the unit to meet future demand. Work on that building was complete by October 2015, with an occupier announcement expected this year.

Amongst other developments at DP World London Gateway... l Pentalver’s new purpose-built container depot at DP World London Gateway is now fully operational – and the leading inland container service operator is already looking forward to future expansion. The five-acre site, opened in July 2015, is next to the port’s main gate; additional land available will enable Pentalver to expand to nine acres within five years. l Haulier Eddie Stobart announced it would be setting up a container transport base at DP World London Gateway, which it says will support its growth plans in the south.

Day in, day out, the PLA’s behind-the-scenes team of highly skilled marine professionals provide the vital services to ensure a busy, efficient and safe port.

Perhaps the sight of a PLA workboat quietly going about its business on the River Thames doesn’t inspire as much excitement as the arrival of a glamorous cruise ship, the University Boat Race, the filming of a James Bond film or a call by one of the world’s biggest container ships. But it should: because without the PLA’s highly skilled, highly professional marine services team, the Port of London simply couldn’t function as effectively as it does. These are the people who work away in the background, day in, day out, providing support to the commercial and leisure users of the River Thames across a remarkable variety of disciplines. They provide a breathtaking range of skills and expertise and carry out an extraordinary range of tasks along the length of the tidal Thames. What’s on the list? Diving, salvage, mooring maintenance, underwater inspections, wharf services, boat lifting, load-out services, storage, driftwood and rubbish clearance, maintaining aids to navigation and pollution response are all the responsibility of the PLA’s marine services team, along the 95-mile stretch of the tidal Thames. The team are based and coordinated at Marine House, the PLA’s £2 million purpose-built operational support facility at Denton Wharf, near Gravesend. Here, the PLA’s fleet of nearly 40 working vessels are maintained – including, of course, the

brand new £7 million mooring maintenance vessel, the London Titan. A 70-tonne capacity boat lift is in frequent use for these and also for commercial vessels; dredgers, cabin cruisers, barges, workboats and passenger boats are all lifted out of the water to undergo surveys, routine maintenance work, refurbishments and repairs. Meanwhile, the 40-metre jetty at Denton Wharf is much in demand as a strategically located and well equipped facility for serving the Thames, and the PLA also provides a jetwashing service for owners.

Day-to-day duties The PLA’s marine services team has a huge checklist of responsibilities, taking them from one end of the tidal Thames to the other. Divers based at Denton work with salvage teams to clear obstructions from the river and are also regularly called upon to clear fouled propellers and inspect dock gates. The marine services team is responsible for maintaining more than 60 aids to navigation, including buoys, and inspecting/ maintaining more than 230 PLA moorings along the river. They also play a vital role in events such as the University Boat Race, when they lay temporary moorings. The PLA operates two specialist craft, Driftwood II and Driftwood III, for removing rubbish from the River Thames. The team regularly empties passive driftwood collectors that are located along the river and works with the environmental charity Thames21, supporting their volunteer foreshore clean-ups.

The many faces of Marine Services... boat lift, divers, laying moorings and recovering driftwood.

The vital support act

Records are made to be broken – and the PLA’s pilots did it again in 2015!

“We have had two of the biggest ships in the world – both large and deep and brought in and out with no problem” Peter Steen, Director of Marine Operations

In October 2014, the 15,500 teu Edith Maersk was the largest ship ever to enter the Thames when she was guided safely to and from her berth at London Gateway. But only four months later, in February 2015, the record was broken again, with the arrival of the Triple-E class Munkebo Maersk: 399 metres long, 60 metres wide and weighing in at 195,000 tons, the vessel carries up to 18,300 teu. Records tumbled again in September with the arrival of the UASC Barzan, which carries up to 18,800 containers. The biggest ships in the world undoubtedly make headlines and bring out the ship-watchers. Clearly it would be wrong to talk of ‘routine’ work, but ensuring the safe arrival, berthing and departure of these giants is now a smooth and well-proven process for the PLA pilotage team. “We have had two of the biggest ships in the world – both large and deep and brought in and out with no problem,” says Peter Steen, director of marine operations. “Our pilots have done the training and they are becoming more and more used to handling the larger vessels as the visits become more frequent.” The PLA’s highly advanced ships’ bridge manoeuvring simulator, at Gravesend, continues to play a vital role in all of its pilots’ training, and also in

planning and preparing for ships of such immense proportions. Pilots can test out and perfect manoeuvres against a background of the highest wind speeds and worst weather – and the simulator also came into its own in planning for another big caller in May 2015. This time it was the brand new, 228-metre-long nine-deck cruise ship Viking Star which made her way through the Thames Barrier to tie up at the PLA moorings at Greenwich. The pilots responsible went through several days of trial runs in the simulator. “One of our sea pilots brought her as far as Gravesend, and then one of our specialist river pilots took her up to and through the Barrier,” says Peter Steen. “Of course, it was all heavily simulated beforehand. It was the first time we were also simulating the use of rotor tugs through the Barrier and everything was risk-assessed. The Viking Star was the biggest passenger ship to go through the Barrier.” Also notable was that this was the first time one of the Portable Pilot Units (PPUs)

Pilotage

A recordbreaking performance

Pilotage

“We have also started our new tablet project, equipping pilots with iPads and ADX2 pilot plugs, which carry electronic charts and deliver more direct communication with the VTS team” Peter Steen, Director of Marine Operations

introduced by the PLA in the past two years was used by the river pilots to help with a vessel’s transit of the Barrier. A PPU is a laptop computer unit which brings together electronic charts, Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) images, and other safety and navigation information, together with precise positioning to help pilots with their onboard decision-making. The technology is so precise that the PPU can almost detect the movement of a ship before the human eye can, and will identify exactly where the tugs are positioned, so really comes into its own when used as a docking aid. “The PPUs are proving increasingly valuable,” says Peter Steen. “We have added another three in the past year. Meanwhile, we have also started our new tablet project, equipping pilots with iPads and ADX2 pilot plugs, which carry electronic charts and deliver more direct communication with the VTS team. The laptops enable us to use our own bathymetric charts overlaid on the Admiralty

charts, so our pilots can see the very latest surveys carried out by our own hydrographic team, giving them absolutely up-to-the-minute information on channel depths, etc.” As he points out, the PLA’s pilots are highly trained, highly experienced experts, with the benefit of old-fashioned seamanship and a deep understanding of the River Thames and its currents and quirks. Combining this knowledge and experience with the latest technology delivers an unbeatable service. The team Altogether, the PLA has a team of 90 qualified pilots, including 15 ‘river pilots’ who have specialist knowledge of the bridges, jetties, piers and tidal characteristics of the upper Thames. Within that team there are also specialist ‘bridge pilots’. “They deal with the part of the river between London Bridge and Putney,” says Peter Steen. “We are training more bridge pilots in advance of the Tideway Tunnel work, so that we are ready for the

large amount of extra construction and project cargo traffic expected.” Meanwhile, the pilotage department is further improving the simulator and extending its geographical reach to include the river from London Bridge to Putney, so work connected with bridges and ship handling in that stretch can be practised and trained for, and tug and barge assessment work can be easily managed. A recent upgrade to provide a separate tug simulator station means that operators can practise driving a ship on the bridge simulator, while the tug working with that ship is controlled from the separate simulator, with the two linked. The tug simulator is programmed to model the full range of tugs, including Voith and rotor, and there are also plans

to include more barge models so providing more options for third party feasibility studies. “It is good experience and very realistic. We have had practising tug masters coming into the simulator to help us, and their feedback is that this is probably the most realistic one they have used,” says Peter Steen. Back towards the estuary, the PLA will recruit at least eight new pilots in the coming year. “As London Gateway traffic builds, we must be ready with additional resources,” says Peter Steen. “We are also seeing increasingly large ships calling at Vopak’s Purfleet facility and at Stolt Dagenham. Meanwhile, the larger Grimaldi vessels now calling at the Port of Tilbury do not go through the lock gates but discharge containers at London Container Terminal’s river berth and ro-ro cargo at the in-river ro-ro terminal – so additional support is

From cruise ships and super yachts to aircraft carriers and frigates... all in a day’s work for PLA pilots.

“We must be flexible, ready to adapt to changing trade patterns and prepared to ‘go with the flow’, providing pilots as quickly as we can wherever they are needed” Peter Steen, Director of Marine Operations

required from the pilotage team for repositioning between terminals. “We have had a busy year with an upturn in the number of pilotage acts in 2015, while seeing several changes to the trade patterns,” says Peter Steen. “There is a lot of concentration of traffic towards weekends and we have responded to some significant challenges. We are obviously always looking to improve our productivity and work closely with the London Pilots’ Committee. “And that is really what we are all about; we must be flexible, ready to adapt to changing trade patterns and prepared to ‘go with the flow’, providing pilots as quickly as we can wherever they are needed.” Port of London Handbook 57

Watching, co-ordinating... Port Control Centre in Gravesend.

The Port of London Authority is recognised as a leader and pioneer in the world of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS).

The Port of London Authority operates one of the largest VTS areas in the UK, contributing its expertise to regulatory and policy discussions at European and international levels, and providing a widely respected programme of VTS training courses. Developments continue apace, particularly as part of the ‘e-navigation’ agenda and in preparation for the UK ‘Single Window’ electronic reporting system which will be operational from 2016. “However, despite the speed at which VTS grows and develops at our own and at international level, we must never lose sight of the core values and principles, which are navigational safety and care of the environment,” says Kevin Gregory, VTS manager. “There is a tendency only to hear about VTS when something goes wrong – i.e. a delay – but for every one delay there are 99 positive stories that are never told. We need to emphasise the positive role VTS plays in maximising safety and efficiency for our customers; the message is, if there is not a lot happening, then we have done our job properly.” VTS has been compared to air traffic control on the water – with the added complexities of a ‘runway’ that moves, thanks to currents, tides and weather. The PLA’s VTS team covers more than 600 square miles of waterway. More than 10,000 large vessels make their way into and out of the Port of London every year, including cruise ships, container ships, roll-on/roll-off ferries, bulk carriers, chemical tankers and general cargo ships. The VTS team’s job is to coordinate all vessel arrivals and departures, berth availability, pilotage and towage, working closely with terminal and wharf operators

and all those involved to ensure a smooth, efficient flow of traffic. “VTS and the role of VTS is expanding around the world,” says Kevin Gregory. “Over the years since it was first formalised in the 1990s, the focus has always been on safety and the efficiency of navigation. But in parallel, VTS gathers huge amounts of information – and people are seeking new and innovative ways to deal with all the information, for the benefit of ports, terminals and the ships themselves. “We, in our turn, are placing a lot of attention on what more we can do on the efficiency side – to use all this investment and infrastructure for commercial success and get vessels in and out as quickly as possible. That means maximising the use of the tide, minimising time on the berths and avoiding delays. “It is all part of the e-navigation agenda – using vessel traffic management to gain efficiency, and pre-planning to reduce fuel consumption. There are, of course a lot of competing interests and demands; it is a case of ensuring safety and also recognising that we have a very good service we can use for commercial success.” With strong competition between the various terminals and wharfs, new facilities coming on line and new services calling, these are already busy times for VTS. The commencement of work on the Thames Tideway Tunnel, with all the associated river traffic and river works in central London, will add dramatically to this. “We are using the lessons we learned during the London Gateway project, as

Showing the way: VTS pioneers

The PLA oversees the biggest VTS area in the UK.

As well as providing training and refresher training for its own team, the PLA’s VTS experts and the simulator are in demand for providing training to outside customers, including from the UK and overseas

“We are looking at unprecedented growth in traffic in the central London areas. VTS will have a big role to play…” Kevin Gregory, VTS Manager

60 Port of London Handbook

we make our plans for managing all the freight traffic and obstructions that will be on the river for a long but temporary period to facilitate construction,” says Kevin Gregory. “At the same time, the Mayor of London is targeting substantial growth in passenger numbers on the river. “So we are looking at unprecedented growth in traffic in the central London areas. VTS will have a big role to play, as it is our responsibility to oversee this. We are looking at more active traffic management strategies, using more of a pre-planning approach to give vessel slot times and transit times; we are assessing the options to make sure it works well and in such a way that it leaves a really good legacy for freight transportation on the river long after the Tideway project is complete.” The VTS team is drawing up plans for liaising with contractors and arranging transits so that these don’t impact adversely on other river users, but also without holding up construction work. There are, of course, issues to consider:

what if the Thames Barrier is closed, or there is dense fog? How can safety be ensured where there are large barges and also people on stand-up paddle boards? “There has historically been very light activity upriver but we are going to see growth in all the sectors at the same time – passengers, freight and leisure,” says Kevin Gregory. “The river isn’t going to grow correspondingly, so we have to manage access to the resources as best we can – using infrastructure and technology and bringing the lessons we have learned from the big commercial operations up to the city.” Investment update l The VTS voice communication system – combining telephone, VHF and command and control – is to be replaced in 2016. l The programme to switch the entire network of 17 radars across to solid state coherent radars is continuing. l Work to make the Margate radar site in east Kent more resilient and robust – including the installation of a new generator – was completed in 2015.

International viewpoint The PLA has an influential role in the development of VTS and associated issues at national, European and international levels. At the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA), which is the world governing body of VTS, Kevin Gregory chairs the personnel and training group and is one of IALA’s eight global VTS experts. Also at IALA, deputy VTS manager Tom Southall is the vice chair of the operations working group. “We have a good presence there and that reflects the PLA’s expertise,” says Kevin Gregory; he is also chairman of the European Sea Ports Organisation’s (ESPO) marine affairs committee, and sits on the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) navigation, communications and search & rescue committee.

Going (even more) electronic The PLA has embarked on the development of the next generation of PISCES, its system for electronic reporting by ships. “This will be a complete relaunch and redesign to make it much more interactive for our customers and authorities to receive, process and manage information,” says Kevin Gregory. “We are preparing for the UK ‘Single Window’ in 2016, which will require information on ship security, waste and other issues to be reported centrally and electronically by ships. This will be a big change because it will rule out PDFs and hand-written documents entirely.”

VTS training The PLA was a pioneer in investing in a sophisticated VTS simulator more than a decade ago, and since then the simulator has been regularly updated and expanded. It plays a vital role in training and also in preparing and planning for unusual ship calls – for example, the 18,800 teu UASC Barzan in September, or the nine-deck cruise ship Viking Star, which passed through the Thames Barrier in May. As well as providing training and refresher training for its own team, the PLA’s VTS experts and the simulator are in demand for providing training to outside customers, including from the UK and overseas. The range of courses, overseen by a dedicated training manager, goes from new VTS recruits all the way up to VTS supervisor, as well as VTS refresher training. “We have been pretty much at capacity in our training in the past year, for clients in the UK and overseas,” says Kevin Gregory. “We continually upgrade and evolve our courses. We also focus on internal training, and during 2015 each member of the team had five days’ intensive training in the simulator.” Additionally, most of the PLA’s marine river inspectors have been through some VTS simulator training, to help them to simulate scenarios and situations they may come across in the river – for example, the closure of a bridge arch, or the need to manage river traffic at a local level if access on the river is restricted. Here there is a particular focus on central London, and for controlling and managing special events.

Hardware or software... the PLA’s navigation systems team are up for the challenge.

Ask the PLA’s navigation systems engineer Garry Shaw what’s been keeping his team busy and he doesn’t hesitate: “You name it, we’ve either been involved in it, or done it. If we haven’t done it before, we will certainly explore all avenues in order to tackle the challenges posed. We are the ‘back room boys’, working unseen in areas people scarcely know exist!” In fact, the navigation systems team boasts an extraordinary range of expertise; it could be called upon to fix computer-based electronic systems and software one minute and a high-end, complex radar system the next. “We are talking about completely different specialities – and it all comes to this department,” says Garry Shaw. “We have a complementary team that not only has the skill sets that provide the full extent and depth of knowledge to maintain the services in their own right – more specifically, we bring the level of integration needed to keep the show on the road.” The team of expert problem solvers, is responsible for the electronic hardware and software systems on which PLA departments such as VTS, hydrographic, pilotage, marine and fleet services all depend. And the day-to-day work can throw up unexpected complications. For example, some PLA equipment, such as London’s special signal Isophase river lights, are fixed on rail bridges and can only be accessed via rail industry land. So the navigation systems team must ensure

they meet the very specific health and safety rules, to the letter. The same applies to offshore wind farms and other third party locations being used for safety of navigation. “These kinds of operations have no direct need for the PLA, and we have no direct involvement with their business, nevertheless, co-existence is vital for safe operational oversight.” In the past year, perhaps the most unusual challenge for the team was thrown down by a pair of peregrine falcons who had taken up residence on a radar tower in the Thames area. As they are protected by law, it’s an offence to disturb them during the February-July nesting season; but it’s vital that the PLA team has year-round immediate access to the site, in case equipment maintenance or emergency repair is needed to ensure service continuity. “We needed to overcome the issue, and so set about the build of a whole new system and installed it at a temporary location,” says Garry Shaw. “We put together all the component products – there were at least ten contributing contractors – and the team had to manage the whole process in a very short space of time. “The new site took two days to build, once on site, and has been a great success – it is proposed to become established as a ‘permanent’ site for what could be an annual issue.” The new site makes use of containers and a specialist ‘world-first’ stainless steel shelter to house all the electronics. “The outcome of this challenge is that we have not only demonstrated our ability to set up shop pretty much anywhere and in a very short space of time, but we have learned about the utility of the components that could be used elsewhere,” he says. “So

the project delivered ‘added value’ in several ways.” To give just a flavour of the variety of projects the navigation systems team has been involved in over recent months... l AIS, weather and tidal data services are now being broadcast for mariners to use.

If you want something done... ask a busy team!

“Our team can be found unblocking drains and fixing windows – but also looking after a number of listed structures from the Grade II* Richmond Lock and Weir to the Grade II listed Royal Terrace Pier at Gravesend” Derek Maynard, Civil Engineer

A question: what do the fixing of a door handle, and planning of a new radar tower and the reconstruction/refurbishment of an historic causeway all have in common? The answer is the PLA’s civil engineering team.

Flexibility and variety are the watchwords here, for a compact team of civil engineers and skilled tradesmen who are responsible for the construction and maintenance of all the PLA’s infrastructure – including jetties and marine structures, offices and workshops, radar towers and lighthouses, tide gauges and some historic structures. “Our team can be found unblocking drains and fixing windows – but also looking after a number of listed structures from the Grade II* Richmond Lock and Weir to the Grade II listed Royal Terrace Pier at Gravesend, or providing expert advice for river licensing applications,” says civil engineer Derek Maynard. “We do cover a very wide range of roles and many different types of projects – sometimes as designers, sometimes as project managers.” Among the major projects completed in the past year has been the installation of a special cabin to house the new solid state radar equipment on the top of the 15-floor Invicta House in Margate. This required a 200-tonne crane to lift the Glasdon Cabin and massive drums of electrical cable on to the roof. “We have had a radar there for quite a while, but the issue was that the equipment was housed in a tiny cramped building on the roof and it did not have any back-up power supply,” Derek Maynard

says. “An onsite generator and UPS (uninterruptable power supply) system was necessary, so the scheme went ahead to provide the new cabin and generator building combined.” The cabin was delivered to Gravesend, where electrical and navigation equipment was installed before it was shipped down to Margate for installation. An added bonus from the project is that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and Estuary Services Ltd (ESL), which operates pilot cutters on the river, also have equipment in the cabin. “All three organisations now have equipment in the cabin and all are on the same back-up power supply, under the PLA umbrella,” says Derek Maynard. Bargehouse Causeway Built more than 100 years ago, the Bargehouse Causeway at the bottom end of Woolwich Reach was in dire need of repair and refurbishment, but there were some complications to be resolved first, about ownership and who was responsible for its maintenance. While the PLA owns nearly all of the river bed, some is owned by The Crown Estate – including the Bargehouse piece. The decision was made to split the refurbishment bill 50/50 between the PLA and The Crown Estate. “The Bargehouse Causeway is an access point for loading barges but also important for the emergency services, which can use it for picking up casualties from the river – for example, an ambulance can back along the causeway to get to foreshore level and meet a lifeboat,” says Derek Maynard. “It is also used for

launching fishing boats and other craft, and for public access.” The causeway is a mix of timber wall and granular fill, topped off with cobbles and concrete. The repair work, being carried out by contractors, has involved installing steel posts down either side, into which heavy horizontal timbers have been slotted to recreate the retaining wall. The entire structure was then refilled and re-topped with concrete. “This has been a notable project on an historical structure,” he says.

Recent projects another tidally constrained job for the civil engineering team. The PLA has about 60 sites along the River Thames, and the team schedules regular inspections and a programme of maintenance and repair works, employing contractors if required. Among recent projects carried out and overseen by the civil engineering team are... l Painting the Holland Haven radar tower l Redesign and refurbishment of the Richmond Lock and Weir offices l Alterations to the Tower Pier Cruise Terminal Rainham Pipe Bridge l Denton pontoon works, including new The PLA’s pump ashore facility at post-and-chains fencing and painting Rainham includes a jetty, pipeline, pipe l Water main upgrade works at Denton bridge over Coldharbour Lane, and l Extending fender panels at Tilbury approximately 300 acres of silt lagoons.

In a constant cycle of review and update, each PLA code of practice, byelaw and regulation is reviewed every three years.

Are rules made to be broken? Definitely not on the River Thames, where the PLA’s rules and regulations are in place to support the safety of everyone on and alongside the river – and to protect the environment. Rules are, however, made to be revised. “Of course, circumstances and the use of the river changes and safety can be enhanced after any incident, by lessons

learned and issues identified,” says Julian Parkes, the PLA’s deputy chief harbour master. He added, “There are often reasons to make adjustments to the rules and guidance here and there. We are not looking to over-regulate, but to make changes where we can improve the

management of marine operations or where trade patterns or other activities are evolving.” Each PLA code of practice, byelaw and regulation is reviewed every three years: “It’s a constant cycle of review and update, and it is a fair part of my team’s role to facilitate that,” says Julian Parkes. To give an idea of the range of activities covered, recent work has included the three-yearly review of the PLA’s general directions, the publishing of a new ‘rowing on the tideway’ code of practice and a review of the passenger vessel code of practice. In January 2015, a new byelaw was introduced requiring all vessels licensed by the PLA, and houseboats, not to dump sewage or ‘black water’ into the river. At the end of the year, the majority were

compliant, says Julian Parkes, and the PLA is working with the rest to ensure that within a reasonable time they will also comply. “They are all at various stages of an agreed solution, with implementation by a certain date. This can involve retrofitting and taking the vessel out of the water to do this work, and it makes sense that this is done at the next scheduled drydocking.”

In an emergency... From fuel to food: given that the Port of London plays such a crucial role in the day-to-day lives of millions of people, its strong focus on contingency and emergency planning is no surprise. The PLA holds regular emergency response exercises, working in partnership with terminal and wharf operators and the emergency services. A specialist consultant was brought in to facilitate a recent major tabletop emergency exercise, codenamed Minerva: “We knew that our emergency plans and procedures were due for refreshing, and a number of recommendations came out of that exercise,” says Julian Parkes. As a result, a consultant has been employed to review the emergency plans, procedures and command structure and bring the entire ‘package’ up to date. “This work will produce a revised strategic emergency plan and concept of operations and, for the first time, it will introduce a tactical emergency manual to support delivery of this plan,” says Julian Parkes. “This will bring us in line with recent developments in the national approach to contingency management and emergency response. A key part of that is cybersecurity, which is important across the wider port.”

A valued marine environment... the tidal Thames.

The PLA is leading the Cleaner Thames campaign to stem the tide of rubbish that is ending up in the river.

Monitoring alien species in the river… conducting detailed studies into sedimentation and erosion… overseeing compensation projects agreed by major developers… ensuring compliance with national and international regulations… consenting dredging… the PLA’s environmental commitments are wide-ranging, complex and often highly sophisticated. The PLA’s ‘green’ focus also, of course, encompasses the more traditional, everyday actions such as switching off lights and reducing fuel consumption. And then – there is litter. In September 2015, the PLA, in partnership with Thames21, the Thames Litter Forum and Tideway, launched the Cleaner Thames campaign to stem the tide of rubbish that is ending up in the Thames. The PLA has a fleet of ‘passive driftwood collectors’ stationed along the river to catch floating debris. They collect around 300 tonnes of rubbish every year – and it certainly isn’t all driftwood. What’s particularly alarming is the inexorable rise in plastic waste, from bags to bottles, from coffee cups to cartons, that is finding its way into the river. Researchers at the School of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London, in collaboration with the Natural History Museum, carried out tests and found that up to three-quarters of some

types of fish in the River Thames have plastic fibres in their gut. But the fallout of this problem is far greater. “We can’t put a boom across the Thames and we can’t pick up everything – so some goes down the river and out to the North Sea,” says environment manager Tanya Ferry. “Plastic ending up in the stomachs of fish, birds and animals is a real problem. People are aware of the issue with plastics in the sea but they don’t associate it with what they drop on the street of London. “The Thames is getting cleaner – there’s no doubt about it, we are seeing more seals, porpoises and birds – but still there is this hidden threat of plastics. This is not just a case of people casually throwing water bottles into the river and it’s vital that the problem is tackled before it even begins, she emphasises. “People may think that if they discard litter in Oxford Street, there is no connection. But if it gets into the drains, those drains could be discharging it into the Thames. The amount of litter that comes out of the river every year is only what we capture, and scientists are already finding plastics in animals that live in the river from Chelsea down to Sheerness. “We don’t think simply ‘clearing it up’ is the way forward. We have to increase the awareness of people across London that they should put their rubbish in the bin or take it home with them.” The Cleaner Thames campaign was launched at the Totally Thames event by explorer Paul Rose. Known for his BBC and National Geographic documentaries about the marine environment, he has taken on the role as ‘voice’ of the campaign. He says: “The message to people is simple: do the right thing. Bag up your rubbish and make sure it’s disposed of

properly. If you don’t, the wind will snatch it and blow it along until it finds the water, stops dead and stays there. It only comes back out again when people like the Port of London Authority, Thames21 and their volunteers come along to take it, bag it, and recycle it. If it’s not recovered it ends up in the stomachs of seals, fish and other marine life in the river.” The year-long campaign will feature films, events, art installations and posters. “We will release films on a monthly basis and have already gained huge support from other organisations, including the London Assembly, the Environment Agency, London Wildlife Trust, the Marine Conservation Society and the RSPB, as well as businesses and operators along the river, such as the Port of Tilbury and Thames Clippers,” says Tanya Ferry. “The campaign will culminate at the Total Thames 2016 event, after which we will analyse the results and what has been achieved.”

The green commitment

Rainham Silt Lagoons The PLA is reopening the Rainham Silt Lagoons for the disposal of dredged materials. The 152-hectare lagoons are between the Rainham to Thurrock rail line and the river and were historically used for receiving dredged materials. The site is part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and leased from the RSPB. “A management document has been written in consultation with Natural England and the RSPB, and Land & Water will be managing the site,” says Tanya Ferry. “Until now, dredged material has had to go out to disposal sites in the outer estuary or Cliffe. Often it is only small amounts from berths or not right for Cliffe. Rainham Silt Lagoons are obviously nearer, which means less fuel is consumed in disposing of the dredged material out of London. This change will benefit the SSSI because the site needs wetting on a regular basis, and it is good for the economy because it will enable some of the local operators to do dredging work.”

Environment

Tideway Tunnel The PLA’s environment team has been heavily involved in assessment and planning work in connection with the Tideway Tunnel project, including identifying mitigation sites to compensate for the impact of the work. This compensation work is now starting to gather pace – for example at Wandsworth, Tideway is to contribute to the removal of a half-tide weir at the mouth of Bell Lane Creek, to create several hectares of natural bank and reed beds. While the Tideway project is designed to protect the tidal Thames from sewage pollution, the PLA is continuing its work to reduce the sewage discharged from vessels even further, through a new byelaw.

their concerns,” she says. “When the PLA responds to environmental consultations, proposed regulation, etc., it is on behalf of the whole port. So this group will give companies the opportunity to tell us what they are concerned about – for example, when we were consulted about the EU Sulphur Directive and its impact on shipping. “This group will enable us to canvass everyone’s views so that we are not just responding on our own.”

Energy Saving Under the Energy Saving Opportunities Scheme, the PLA is statutorily required to make a submission to the Environment Agency which gives a full energy profile and audit of the organisation and puts forward proposals for reducing energy consumption both afloat and in the The Vision PLA’s offices.

Hydrographic

Mastery in all they survey The PLA is proud to have one of the best resourced and most respected hydrographic departments in the UK.

The PLA’s hydrographic department provides the eyes that can see what no one else can; it is the team’s job to survey the whole river from bank to bank, on a rolling programme over five to ten years, and that is just the start of what it does 76 Port of London Handbook

How does the master of a massive containership know that there’s enough water depth below his 16-metre draft vessel as he heads up the Thames? How does the master of a brand new cruise ship have confidence that the approach channel is clear of obstacles and not silted up or blocked with wreckage? And where does the information come from for those relying on tide tables and for the UK Admiralty charts covering the river and estuary? Clearly – or unclearly in this case – none of these people can see through the murky depths to the river bed to check. But there is an expert team that can ‘see’ and constantly update precisely what’s going on – thanks to long experience and the very latest high-resolution multibeam echo sounder (MBES) technology. The PLA’s hydrographic department provides the eyes that can see what no one else can; it is the team’s job to survey the whole river from bank to bank, on a rolling programme over five to ten years, and that is just the start of what it does. One of the best resourced and most respected hydrographic departments in the UK, it is responsible for surveying

the river and its depths accurately, publishing that information for pilots and other river users, producing charts and maps of the Thames, and providing accurate tidal predictions. As well as all that, the team carries out surveys in advance of and during major developments, and undertakes commercial surveying work for clients both on the Thames and further afield. Welcome to the Maplin At the start of 2016, the department received a very special delivery – the Maplin, a brand new hydrographic survey vessel. The 17-metre catamaran has replaced the 15-metre Yantlet, which has been retired after 20 years’ service. “We took the opportunity to secure a slightly larger boat with deck space – because the nature of the work we are doing is changing from pure bathymetry to also include sampling, geophysical work, bottom profiling, finding ordnance, and so on,” says port hydrographer John Pinder. “The Maplin’s design gives us the opportunity to deploy it for other things where in the past we have had to use the PLA Marine Services’ Driftwood vessels or other workboat.” The top-of-the-range spec Maplin was built at the Colchester yard of CTruk; the company has built nearly 30 vessels for the offshore wind farm industry and its experience also includes building THOR,

an 11-metre twin-hull offshore radar vessel for military use. CTruk specialises in resin infusion, a process which creates an ultra-light hull, delivering significant fuel savings. “Standard composite hulls are created by hand layering – the process of resin infusion is very precise and consistent,” says CTruk managing director Seb Shillaker. “In this way we can not only make the vessel even lighter but we can also calculate exactly how much it will weigh. Other processes can’t guarantee that – and we have perfected this technique at the yard.” Resin infusion involves laying the base materials dry, then using a vacuum process to suck the resin into the materials for a consistent result. Because a resin-infused structure is so much lighter, smaller engines could be specified for the Maplin. The boat is powered by a Volvo D13 engine, 800 HP de-rated to 700. It is

Time and tide Sixteen tide gauges are strategically positioned along the Thames, and these are monitored and controlled by the hydrographic department. This is particularly important for larger, deeper ships which are depending on often short tidal windows for access to and from the port. The PLA’s daily tide predictions stretch forward five years, so that ship operators are able to plan schedules according to the water depth available. The team produces a Tidal Booklet entirely from in-house information and software. The Thames has an incredibly fast tidal flow and this too is carefully measured and predicted, as understanding how fast the tide flows is very important for safe navigation. In 2014, the PLA invested in a new, state-of-the-art tidal monitoring system in

the lower river, replacing six tidal gauges and installing a highly responsive data transfer system which is used by the hydrographic team to monitor, measure and predict tidal heights. Tideway Tunnel The hydrographic team has played a major part in planning for the construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel, firstly as part of the PLA’s statutory responsibilities and secondly on a commercial support basis. “We have done seven baseline surveys since 2013, using laser as well as multibeam – and while these were mainly for Thames Tideway Tunnel planning, this has also given the PLA full river coverage from Hammersmith down to Greenwich, for updating navigational charts,” says John Pinder. “This is a very valuable resource; we have fine-tuned this combination of laser and multibeam so that the asset we have now is full mapping of everything, which is very useful for our planners.” In addition, the team has undertaken ground investigations (sampling and coring), sub-bottom seismic profiling and archaeological investigation support surveys for the Tideway project.

Sediment Study The capital dredge for DP World London Gateway was completed three years ago and, as anticipated, it’s now time for some maintenance dredging. “We are now planning for our first maintenance dredging campaign, which will happen in 2016,” says John Pinder. The process is expected to run smoothly thanks to a detailed study into sedimentation in the estuary, carried out by marine conservancy manager Alex Mortley with support from the PLA’s environment team. This study is a perfect example of the way in which the PLA must tread the balance between the environment and operations, particularly as environmental protection in the estuary is evolving. By comparing and analysing surveys over a number of years, Alex Mortley was able to establish how the contours of the river bed move, which will be hugely valuable in predicting what might happen next. “By doing this sediment morphology study, we are able to show how the sand dunes are moving and how things change; this will be hugely valuable in discussions with the regulators when planning to dredge in sensitive areas,” says John Pinder. “This study has improved our understanding of the processes in the estuary – and will allow us to make decisions that are best for the environment, while port operations continue.”

Ford Motor Company About one million diesel engines are manufactured each year at Ford’s Dagenham Engine Plant. The vast majority are shipped from Ford’s Dagenham Jetty to the company’s vehicle assembly plants throughout Europe. To support power train and vehicle manufacture, the Dagenham Jetty handles 60,000 trailer movements per year between the UK and continental Europe. In addition to freight, more than 280,000 finished Ford vehicles are imported, with a further 12,000 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles exported to Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. On behalf of Ford, Cobelfret operates vessels on the Dagenham/Vlissingen service, with two arrivals into Dagenham per day. In August 2012, a larger vessel was added into the loop, providing greater capacity and more flexibility. As well as handling Ford’s own business, the Dagenham Jetty moves third party business. Trailers are shipped for a variety of customers, as Cobelfret and Ford look to maximise both shipping and port operations. Ford has recently completed a year-long US$8 million jetty refurbishment at the terminal. The company invested approximately US$1.4 million in new tow tugs early in 2015. Although Ford operates its own in-house freight forwarding department, it remains committed to seeking additional third party freight business and any opportunity to export finished vehicles to the continent for other UK-based manufacturers.

Other Facilities In the UK, NuStar operates six whollyowned bulk liquid storage terminals. The company has excellent geographic coverage of the UK with terminals in Belfast, Eastham (Merseyside), Runcorn, Grangemouth, Clydebank and Grays. NuStar’s terminal at Grays on the north bank of the Thames has a storage capacity of 311,000 cubic metres. There are 51 tanks ranging from 1,700 to 20,800 cubic metres. The terminal has a vapour processing unit to comply with European Union Emission Control Regulations. The terminal currently stores Hydrocarbons only. The facility has two jetties (Nos. 1 and 2) with a depth of 10.6 metres at low water, maximum length of 228 metres, unrestricted beam and four docklines. Products are distributed to customers via rapid and efficient loading of vehicles through fully automated bottom loading facilities and computerised pre-loading authorisation. The terminal’s Thames-side location is excellent for receiving product from UK refineries and European markets. At the same time it is able to supply products to London and the South East using the easy accessible surrounding motorway network.

Oikos Storage Ltd Oikos Storage Ltd is a bulk liquid storage terminal strategically sited on Canvey Island at the mouth of the Thames estuary. At this prime location, the Oikos Storage Terminal is unique in the UK in having access to both the Government Pipeline and Storage System (GPSS) and the UK Oil Pipeline System (UKOP), allowing aviation fuel and road fuels to be pumped directly into both the civilian and military systems. A top tier COMAH site, the Oikos terminal handles the full range of liquid bulks, including aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, marine bunker fuels and other petroleum products and chemicals. The first phase of a £65 million investment programme at the site was completed mid-2012, including the rebuilding of Jetty 1 at a cost of £8 million to handle ships up to 50,000 dwt and 12.5 metres draft. Other work included replacing the entire onsite pipeline network, refurbishing or demolishing/ rebuilding dozens of tanks, building a high-tech control room and refurbishing road-loading racks. A second phase of investment was completed and commenced operation in 2013. Owned by the Australian financial services company Challenger, Oikos has signed up a number of major customers in the past few years and is planning further developments. The terminal is within easy reach of the M25 via the A13 and A127, and has recently benefited from a new road built as part of the Canvey Island regeneration. The opening of Roscommon Way enabled road tankers heading to and from the Oikos facility to bypass local homes, thus minimising disruption to residents.

Calor Gas Terminal The Calor Gas Terminal on Canvey Island handles a throughput of circa 150,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) a year and plays a major role in the success of Calor as the leading distributor of LPG. It has a dedicated jetty, which allows for refrigerated LPG imports from VLGCs of up to 250 metres loa, with the product being stored in eight separate insulated tanks at -42 degrees centigrade. LPG imports are distributed inland by road tanker and via a recently modified 8 km underground LPG pipeline that connects the Canvey Terminal to Calor’s Coryton Filling Plant – giving an important environmental advantage by reducing the number of road tanker movements in and out of the terminal. The new access road to the terminal, opened in October 2014 at a cost of £1 million following agreement between Calor, Oikos and the PLA, has significantly improved the amenity for the local residents as all LPG road tankers are now being routed away from the built-up areas on Canvey and use the Roscommon Way extension for access to the terminal. An additional road tanker loading facility has been constructed to further enhance the capacity available for tanker loading to meet peak winter demand and ensure supply security to customers. Some LPG is re-exported by ship via pressurised LPG carriers to many European countries, ranging from the France to Poland. The Canvey Terminal helps to ensure the continuity of supply to Calor’s UK customers and its strategic location provides Calor with access to a network of worldwide LPG suppliers. The terminal also plays a key role in the international storage and supply strategies of Calor’s parent company, SHV, which operates LPG business throughout Europe, Asia and South America.

NuStar Terminals NuStar Terminals Ltd is the UK subsidiary of NuStar LP, which operates more than 90 bulk liquid storage terminals, 9,113 miles of pipelines and four crude oil storage facilities, making the company one of the largest independent terminal operators in the world. NuStar’s Grays terminal has two 228-metre jetties with a depth of 10.6 metres alongside at low water. The terminal specialises in the storage and delivery of hydrocarbons and has storage capacity of 310,000 cubic metres in 53 tanks ranging from 1,700 to 20,800 cubic metres. Close access to the M25 London orbital motorway provides customers with a fast and efficient means of receiving products in London, the South East and nationwide. NuStar has an ongoing investment programme at the terminal in order to maintain its excellent level of safety and service. Fully automated bottom loading facilities, backed up by a computerised preloading authorisation system, are key to the terminal’s highly efficient distribution operation.

Aggregate Industries Aggregate Industries supplies and manufactures quarry products and building materials to the construction industry. Employing thousands of people in the UK, northern Europe and the Channel Islands, Aggregate Industries was the first company in its sector to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard, and the first to be certified to BES 6001: The Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products, currently rated ‘Very Good’ across the whole of its business. With operations in the centre of London and the Thames Gateway areas, Aggregate Industries is well placed to serve construction projects at the heart of the nation. Through its Brentfordbased ready-mixed concrete business London Concrete, it has supplied construction projects such as the Shard, the Olympic Park and Crossrail. As a quarrying company, Aggregate Industries owns sites across the UK and has major operations in Scotland, the East Midlands and Somerset, from which it moves construction aggregates to London by ship and rail. The company operates the world’s largest self-discharging aggregate carriers, which carry up to 97,000 tonnes. Along the Thames, it operates a fleet of tugs and barges through Bennett’s Barges. Bennett’s Barges transports hundreds of thousands of tonnes of aggregate products from the Isle of Grain depot to its Thames customers, saving more than six million lorry miles each year. It has a reputation for taking on the South East’s most technically complicated maritime projects. In 2012, Bennett’s Barges was at the forefront of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee pageant. The specially refitted tug Stephen B and barge Ursula Katherine underwent extensive redesign to carry the floating belfry containing the eight Jubilee Bells. Aggregate Industries is committed to use of the river for transporting freight through the capital without adding to road use. The amount of freight

being carried on the Thames will potentially treble over the next five years, and for good reason. The specialist barge fleet is used to reduce carbon emissions for a cleaner environment in the capital. Away from the rivers and canals, aggregates are transported by rail wherever possible into depots and terminals, hauled by energyefficient locomotives. At Blackfriars Bridge, Bennett’s Barges assisted in transporting more than 80,000 tons of material to and from the site by water – not a single lorry load being put on London’s roads. Aggregate Industries is looking to work on future London development projects that are committed to using the waterways, such as the Thames Tideway Tunnel, the Northern Line extension and the ongoing programme of flood defence works in the Thames Estuary. Aggregate Industries is a member of the Lafarge Holcim Group, the world’s leading supplier of cement, aggregates, readymixed concrete and asphalt.

Brett Aggregates Up to 1.5 million tonnes of sea-dredged aggregates from specific areas of the North Sea, the mid-Channel and off the southern UK coast around the Isle of Wight are landed each year at North Sea Terminal, Brett Aggregates’ main terminal in the Port of London. Rail accounts for the onward transit of more than 40% of Brett’s output from the terminal, with several trains departing every day. An on-site block-making plant utilises 25% of the terminal’s throughput to produce a number of products for Brett Landscaping and Building Products. Additional aggregate is landed and stored at Brett’s Northfleet facility before processing and onward transit to the construction industry. The site has very significant capacity for receipt of spoil from construction projects and is able to receive imported spoil by river, rail, and road. Brett Aggregates also has terminals at Northfleet, Ridham, Whitstable and Ramsgate, which handle bulk materials including minerals, supplying goods and services into the South East market.

CEMEX UK CEMEX is a global building materials solutions company with leading market positions in aggregates, cement and readymixed concrete. Its London terminals, including a plant at the Port of Tilbury, supply many major construction projects in South East England. The company operates four wharves on the river. It supplies several of its concrete plants with aggregates by river barges, reducing lorry deliveries into central London. Materials are supplied by barge to Cringle Wharf at Battersea for use in the onsite concrete plant, as well as to other CEMEX customers along the river, while Northfleet Wharf, Dagenham and Angerstein Wharf handle imports of sea-dredged aggregates from CEMEX UK Marine. A new wharf has been developed at Dagenham, making this the closest aggregate production north of the river to central London, with production capacity of 500,000 tonnes a year. The CEMEX concrete products factory at Northfleet produces paving and concrete blocks. The dual-purpose facility is CEMEX’s largest concrete products factory in the UK. It has a prime location by the Thames which enables it to maximise both the amount of dredged raw material it can use and the amount of material that is brought in by boat, as opposed to road. CEMEX’s 1.2 million tonne capacity cement grinding and blending plant at the Port of Tilbury is the only cement grinding plant in South East England. As well as CEM1 Portland cement, the main product manufactured at the facility is blended cement, which incorporates by-products from other industries to make cements for use in all types of concrete applications, including housing, hospitals, schools and roads.

Hanson Hanson operates three facilities on the Thames – a marine wharf, asphalt plant and rail depot at Dagenham, a wharf and readymixed concrete plant at Victoria Deep Water Terminal (Greenwich) and a wharf and ready-mixed concrete plant at Wandsworth. Volumes of marine-dredged sand and gravel through the Dagenham wharf increased for the third successive year in 2015 as the London construction market remained buoyant. As well as major infrastructure projects such as Crossrail, Hanson is also supplying sand, gravel and limestone for London Underground’s Northern Line extension at Battersea. The £1 billion project includes three miles of new tunnels and two new stations. The London commercial and office redevelopment markets have also been strong and boosted sales of aggregates and concrete. Looking ahead to 2016, construction activity in London and the South East is expected to increase again, fuelled by further investment in shops, offices and infrastructure and an increase in road maintenance funding confirmed in the Chancellor’s latest spending review. The Thames is crucial to Hanson’s operations, enabling the company to deliver materials close to where they are needed, eliminating thousands of road miles. Around 700,000 tonnes a year of marine-dredged sand and gravel from the eastern English Channel and the North Sea are landed at Dagenham Wharf. A barge-loading facility is used for the onward transportation of sands, gravels and limestone up the Thames to the ready-mixed concrete plants at Victoria Deep and Wandsworth. Rail also plays a key part in the distribution chain. Crushed limestone from the Mendips and hardstone from South Wales is imported into the Dagenham terminal to feed the site’s two asphalt plants, which make road surfacing materials for local roads, trunk routes and the motorway network. There is also a readymixed concrete plant on the site. Sand, gravel and crushed rock is exported by rail to depots at Acton, Brentford, Theale and Bow. From there it is transferred to Hanson’s network of ready-mixed concrete plants located within the M25. The Dagenham terminal, which receives vessels 24 hours a day, also incorporates a recycling depot and a bagging facility supplying bagged aggregates to the DIY and small construction sector.

Stema Shipping (UK) Ltd Stema has two operations on the Thames handling sand, gravel and aggregates on the Thames – at Red Lion Wharf in Northfleet and at the Port of Tilbury. The company had a very busy 2014, with volumes significantly up as it supplied aggregates to several major construction projects. Red Lion Wharf, which is owned by Stema, has a 220-metre jetty with depth alongside of seven metres and six acres of open storage for imported aggregates. About 750,000 tonnes of sand, gravel and aggregates from Stema’s own quarries in Norway, and sand from Denmark, are imported through this facility. Of this, about 150,000 tonnes goes back out by barge, and the company is looking at ways of increasing this. At Tilbury, Stema operates at 1 Berth, where it has 10.5 metres water depth and a 2.75 acre site. At present it handles about 300,000 tonnes at Tilbury. Stema invested about £95 million upgrading Jelsa Quarry to an output of 11 million tonnes a year. Work was completed in August 2010, and this is now the largest coastal aggregates quarry in the world. The company took delivery of three new selfdischarging 32,000 dwt vessels in 2010. A key strength for Stema is its fully independent supply of aggregates with an integrated supply chain from quarry through to delivery to the end user.

Tarmac Tarmac, a CRH company, is the UK’s leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions business. The company has over 150 years of experience and directly employs around 6,900 people across a nationwide network of over 400 sites. Its solutions span aggregates, asphalt, cement, lime, readymix concrete, road contracting services, building products and recycling services. Its innovative products and solutions not only help to safely deliver the infrastructure needed to grow the UK economy today but also help to create a more sustainable built environment for the country’s long term future. Tarmac has a number of operations along the tidal Thames, at Northfleet, Charlton, Erith, Thurrock and Greenhithe. Between them, these sites distribute millions

108 Port of London Handbook

of tonnes of cement, marinedredged sand and gravel, and crushed rock aggregate throughout the London and South East by road, rail and water. The business has contributed to a number of prestigious projects from its wharves on the Thames, including the Channel Tunnel terminus at King’s Cross/St Pancras, the Emirates Stadium, Canary Wharf, the Millennium Dome, the Olympic athletes’ village, Crossrail and the M25. Murphy’s Wharf, on the Greenwich peninsula, for example, is ideally placed to supply east and central London, being located on the south of the River Thames and near the Blackwall Tunnel. It is believed to be the largest marine aggregate terminal in Europe in terms of output, capable of operating 24/7 and complemented by an onsite concrete plant which supplies ready-mix concrete into the local market. Nearly half of all material made at the facility is transported to customers by rail. During 2013, a new rail loading facility and primary screens were installed to expand this capability. The sites at Riverside Wharf (Charlton), Mulberry Wharf

(Belvedere) and Pioneer Wharf (Erith) complement the Murphy’s Wharf operation, providing additional capacity and flexibility to supply the Kent and south/east London markets. The sites at Greenwich (Brewery Wharf) and Silvertown (Dock Road Wharf) both produce readymix concrete using aggregates transported to them by barge. Greenhithe processes seadredged sand and gravel for use in building projects across the region. Tarmac’s cement and aggregates distribution hub at West Thurrock combines a deepwater wharf with rail-loading facilities and excellent access to the local road network. The wharf allows ships to discharge at all times, regardless of the tide. The material is processed on site ready for onward distribution by road or rail. In 2015, Tarmac invested in new processing facilities at Thurrock for marine-dredged aggregates boosting both production capability and reliance at this location. Northfleet is a notable success story. The former cement plant has

been demolished and the company is planning for a new operation that will enable it to supply essential construction materials to and from the site by river, road and rail. A cement import cement terminal is operational at Northfleet and planning permission has been granted for an aggregates terminal to make use of the site’s deepwater wharf (42 Wharf) and its proximity to London. Tarmac has made a major investment in reconnecting its rail freight facilities at Northfleet to the main north Kent line. The new line was used up to 2014 to transport excavated material from the Crossrail tunnels in London, reducing HGV movements out of the capital. At Northfleet, the excavated material was then transferred to ship for the final part of its journey along the Thames to enhance the RSPB nature reserve at Wallasea Island in Essex.

T & L Sugars The T & L Sugars Thames Refinery at Silvertown is one of the largest cane sugar refineries in the world. The 13.6 hectare site can process 160 tonnes of raw sugar an hour, with an annual capacity of up to 1.1 million tonnes per annum. There is bulk storage for 65,000 tonnes, together with 2,000 tonnes of storage capacity for palletised refined sugar for export. The 161-metre raw sugar jetty has a guaranteed minimum depth of 10 metres at low water and receives up to 40 vessels each year in a range of sizes from 4,000 to 58,000 dwt. Raw sugar is imported by Tate & Lyle from a variety of suppliers who are granted preferential access to the EU under agreements with the ACP (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific), LDC (Least Developed Countries) and MFN (Most Favoured Nations), and under the terms of Free Trade Agreements with Central and South American suppliers, together with sugar from world market suppliers such as Brazil. Refined sugar and specialist products are transported directly to domestic retail and industrial customers from the site, either packed or as bulk dry and liquid products, and are also exported by ship or container worldwide. The 48-metre export jetty alongside the refinery can handle vessels of more than 3,000 dwt. The raw sugar jetty is equipped with two cranes, each with a capacity of 16 tonnes, installed in 2007. These, together with current stevedoring arrangements, ensure that raw sugar discharge at the refinery is a world-class operation. Tate & Lyle is committed to supporting Fairtrade, and sugar cane growers in Belize, Guyana, Jamaica and Fiji are already enjoying the benefits of the premiums paid to them over and above the normal prices for raw sugar they deliver to the refinery.
