  • Energy Transition Contribution at DP World in the UK
    London Gateway Port Limited 1 London Gateway Stanford-le-Hope Essex SS17 9DY United Kingdom T: + 44 1375 648 300 londongateway.com 29th June 2021 Customer Advisory Energy Transition Contribution at DP World in the UK At DP World we focus on making a positive economic and societal impact wherever we work. Our sustainability strategy ‘Our World, Our Future’ is woven into everything we do, supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals across safety, climate change, security, community engagement, people development, ethics and well-being. DP World has invested in many measures to enable sustainable trade at its port operations at DP World London Gateway and DP World Southampton (DP World UK). We have made significant progress to reduce carbon emissions through maximising efficiency, using renewable energy and displacing fossil fuels. An overview of some of these measures can be found at: www.londongateway.com/about/sustainability . We have been at the forefront of innovation including electrification of yard operations and trialling fully electric ‘shuttle carrier’ operations at DP World London Gateway. At DP World Southampton measures include scaling up our use of hybrid ‘straddle carriers’ and trialling fossil free HVO fuel as a transition step towards net zero. DP World UK has engaged Lloyds Register to independently verify the carbon dioxide (CO2) generated from our operations. In 2015, for each laden container imported through DP World UK facilities we generated approximately 65 kgCO2e. Through continuous operational improvements and the early introduction of carbon efficient choices, this has been reduced by 20% to around 52 kgCO2e in 2020. To continue our decarbonisation journey, we need to make considerable investments in the coming years to progress our energy transition.

  • The Role for Rail in Port-Based Container Freight Flows in Britain
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by WestminsterResearch The role for rail in port-based container freight flows in Britain ALLAN WOODBURN Bionote Dr Allan Woodburn is a Senior Lecturer in the Transport Studies Group at the University of Westminster, London, NW1 5LS. He specialises in freight transport research and teaching, mainly related to operations, planning and policy and with a particular interest in rail freight. 1 The role for rail in port-based container freight flows in Britain ALLAN WOODBURN Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 20 7911 5000 Fax: +44 20 7911 5057 Abstract As supply chains become increasingly global and companies seek greater efficiencies, the importance of good, reliable land-based transport linkages to/from ports increases. This poses particular problems for the UK, with its high dependency on imported goods and congested ports and inland routes. It is conservatively estimated that container volumes through British ports will double over the next 20 years, adding to the existing problems. This paper investigates the potential for rail to become better integrated into port-based container flows, so as to increase its share of this market and contribute to a more sustainable mode split. The paper identifies the trends in container traffic through UK ports, establishes the role of rail within this market, and assesses the opportunities and threats facing rail in the future. The analysis combines published statistics and other information relating to container traffic and original research on the nature of the rail freight market, examining recent trends and future prospects.
