Purfleet

Situated within the Thames Gateway in South Essex, just to the East of London, the Borough of Thurrock covers an area of 64 square miles with over 18 miles of riverside stretching along the Thames Estuary and is home to Dartford’s busy freight terminal.

Dartford Freight Terminal

Situated next to the M25 at Dartford, adjacent to Crossways Business Park and only 16 miles from central London in the centre of the Thames Gateway, the Dartford Freight Terminal offers the shortest overall routes to the industrial heartlands of Northern and Central Europe via three daily Dart Line Ro-Ro freight services to Zeebrugge in Belgium, Vlissingen in Holland and Dunkerque in France.

The site is a deep water facility with no cargo restrictions and there are plans to develop a further 200m of quayside and add Lo/Lo berthing to the existing two Ro/Ro berths.  Twenty-four hour a day ship and cargo processing services are available and a purpose built terminal will provide facilities for ferry and cruise passengers.
