Port-Centric Logistics Model

London Gateway, UK’s most automated port, has adopted a port-centric logistics model. “This uniquely gives us the opportunity for customers and supply chain partners to have a port-based solution, allowing more efficiency when servicing the UK market,” explains John Trenchard, Commercial and Supply Chain Director UK. Ernst Schulze, DP World’s UK CEO says this model has proved particularly popular in recent years, with the Covid pandemic and geopolitical issues making the supply chain more complex than ever before. “A lot of cargo owners don’t want to be involved in the supply chain, and that’s where we come in,” he says. The world has become more complex, and DP World has jumped right in.”On average London Gateway has 30 services (ships) per week.
