London Gateway Port Limited is the company behind DP World's London Gateway, a container port and terminal on the Thames within the Thames Freeport, roughly 28 miles from London. It links vessels, trains and lorries, offering direct connections to onward ports and a vehicle booking system for haulage collections and deliveries. The site adjoins London Gateway Logistics Park, providing warehousing and multimodal transport links for cargo owners. A fifth berth is under construction, intended to make the facility the UK's largest container port. The operation forms part of the wider DP World group, with the entity's role centred on running port and cargo handling activities at this Essex site rather than manufacturing or owning wider group assets.
