Geographical advantage

TCS is London's only true deep sea container terminal. Situated on the River Thames, around 20 miles from London Bridge, it is easily accessible from the sea and can handle deep drafted vessels.

Other benefits are equally attractive:-

  • Some 35% of the nation’s GDP is generated in London and the Home Counties – within one hour of the terminal
  • TCS is a short distance from the M25 London Orbital Motorway, with links to every principal arterial motorway in the UK
  • TCS enjoys dedicated Freightliner links to all the country’s major cities including daily trains to Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Leeds
  • The terminal has its own railhead directly connected to the National Rail system
  • Short sea feeder links complete TCS’s comprehensive intermodal capabilities – including regular sailings to Ireland, the Baltic and Europe

Its exceptional position and the accompanying benefits provides TCS and its customers with highly attractive advantages with regard to limiting inland costs for door to door movements.
