New Gateway port good news for the East
A new deep water container port on the banks of the River Thames in Essex, has been officially opened.

It will also have the biggest logistics park in Europe where containers will be stored and loaded.
It will be in direct competition with Felixstowe in Suffolk, the UK's largest container port, but Paul Dawson, the Managing Director at the Deben Transport haulage firm says that won't cause a problem.
