Over the last year we have heard so much about the need for more UK port capacity. In this Sponsored Podcast The Loadstar explores one project that will deliver just that. Managing editor, Gavin van Marle examines DP World’s decision to construct a fourth berth at its London Gateway complex in the UK.
Gavin gets answers about why this is so important for UK plc and European shipping and logistics from his guest Ernst Schulze, UK CEO of DP World and the company’s ambitions to transform itself into an end-to-end supply chain operator.
