The ports of Sheerness and Chatham form the core terminals of Peel Ports’ London Medway cluster. The cluster is named so as to highlight the strategic link and proximity to the nation’s capital of the Rivers Medway and Swale – of which we are the statutory harbour authority along a 27.3 mile stretch.
Our sites handle a vast array of cargo including automotive, steel, timber, paper and Project Cargo, as well as having the ability to process RoRo and LoLo cargo. At Sheerness, we also have seven deep water berths.
The River Medway has the largest catchment area in Southern England. Its reach and strategic location give it an influence that’s even greater. It’s positioned on the Thames Estuary, closer than Tilbury to Dover and within easy reach of Northern Europe. It also has deep water access,
perfect for ships of varying sizes coming from everywhere in the world. With excellent road, rail and water connectivity, coupled with a significant land footprint available for development, Peel Ports London Medway is perfectly positioned to connect London, the South East of England, and the Midlands to international trade.
