Enables faster turnaround
January 1st 2012 Port centric logistics provider, The
Logistics Terminal (TLT), is
undertaking a phased takeover of one
of Tilbury Docks' largest multimodal
distribution warehouses. Situated on
a 10 acre site adjacent to the Port of
Tilbury, Dock Gate 2, it is expected
that in excess of 800 containers a
month could pass through the facility
as capacity is increased.
The move has already sparked
interest from those looking to gain
control over supply chain costs,
explains TLT partner Richard
Newbold: "For years, owners have
incurred the financial and
environmental costs of pointlessly
hauling containers hundreds of miles
across the UK only for them to be
returned to the port empty.
"Quite simply, TLT enables cargo
owners to gain control of both
supply-chain costs and the timely
delivery of their goods. Carbon
emissions are significantly reduced by
TLT quickly offloading the container
at the Port. The empty container is
immediately returned to the
Exporting Berth, allowing shipping
lines to achieve a faster turnaround." More articles from The Logistics Terminal: |
