This submission is made by the Independent Lights Dues Forum (ILDF) and focuses on the three general lighthouse authorities (GLAs), the Department of Transport’s actions over the past eight years related to the GLAs and the future arrangements of the aids to navigation service (lighthouses, buoys and beacons) around the British Isles. 2. The ILDF’s members include APL (UK), Hyundai Merchant Marine, “K” Line (Europe) Ltd, Maersk, Mitsui O.S.K., NYK Line (Europe) Ltd, NYK Line Ltd, the Grimaldi shipping lines, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics and EUKOR and contribute about 60% of the annual light dues revenue. 3. Aids to navigation (lighthouses, buoys and beacons) around the British Isles are funded by a levy—known as light dues—on merchant ships calling at British and Irish ports. This is a tonnage-based levy, subject to a cap on the maximum chargeable tonnage and on the number of port calls that are chargeable in any one year. In nearly all other countries, this is funded by governments. 4. Light dues are paid into a central fund, the General Lighthouse Fund (GLF), from which they are disbursed by the Department for Transport (DfT or Department) to the three GLAs in England, Scotland and Ireland.

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

  • PRESS RELEASE – for IMMEDIATE USE 18 April 2018 London Thamesport Boosts Short Sea Capacity Dutch-Based Transport Company
    PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE USE 18 April 2018 London Thamesport Boosts Short Sea Capacity Dutch-based transport company A2B-online Container B.V. has added a fourth weekly sailing on its service between Hutchison Ports London Thamesport and Moerdijk in The Netherlands. The new sailing is inaugurated today (18 April 2018) by the first call of the m.s. A2B Spirit (ex- Norfeeder), a Sietas 151 type 508 TEU container ship, the fourth of this class owned and operated by A2B. Commenting on the new sailing, Clemence Cheng, Executive Director Hutchison Ports, said: “London Thamesport offers its customers a service tailored to their specific demands. We are seeing a growing demand in the short-sea container market as a response to increasing labour shortages in the driver-accompanied market and uncertainty around Brexit. We are delighted that, working closely with our partners at A2B-online, we are able to help them grow their business by providing a highly efficient service and direct access to key South East markets.” Gerard de Groot, Managing Director of A2B-online, said: “With all the initiatives we have developed to offer first-class customer service, volume is still increasing despite talks regarding Brexit. We have spare capacity to adjust more sailings to London Thamesport if and when required.” Bart van ‘t Hof, Group Sales Director A2B-online, added: “If it is decided to go for a hard Brexit more volume is expected to be routed from Moerdijk to London Thamesport. This because of customs procedures that may apply that will have a considerably (negative) effect on the supply chain for goods arriving the UK accompanied by either Channel Tunnel and/or Dover by ferry.” A2B-online Container B.V.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The range of deep water berths and terminals, found on both banks of the river Thames and Medway, plus the enclosed dock system at Tilbury, offer a range of facilities for food imports. Unlike the concentration of accompanied trailer traffic served by Dover and the Channel Tunnel and the dominance of deep sea container operations at Felixstowe and to a lesser extent at Southampton, the Thames and Medway facilities serve a whole range of shipping mode sectors. Significant RoRo ferry, short sea and deep sea container services and associated feeder services and dry bulk and liquid bulk operations are all undertaken on the estuary. There are alternative RoRo ferry and container vessel berths within the river system if one berth or terminal is put out of action and instances, such as at Dartford where a whole RoRo terminal that has been ‘mothballed’ could be brought back into action at short notice.
