Today we are proud to announce the opening of a new operational facility at London Gateway. This strategic expansion reinforces our commitment to delivering comprehensive Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo handling services across the UK’s key port infrastructure.
The new London Gateway depot will mirror our other service offerings currently being provided from the Grangemouth facility, creating a dual-hub operation serving customers throughout the United Kingdom. Both sites will specialise in Out of Gauge lashing, with dedicated teams equipped to handle all types of OOG cargo with precision and care.
At London Gateway, we will offer a full suite of services, including crane lifts, container devanning, load and lash operations, and storage facilities. We will also provide professional surveyor services on request at both the London Gateway and Grangemouth locations, ensuring our customers receive expert support throughout the entire logistics chain.
Central to this expansion is our “one stop shop” approach, streamlining operations for clients requiring haulage, devanning, and Load and Lash Services (LLS) across both locations. Our customers will benefit from consistent service standards, unified communication channels, and the same trusted points of contact regardless of facility.
“This expansion represents a significant milestone in our development and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to meeting our customers’ evolving needs,” said Richard Workman, Business Development Manager. “By establishing our presence at London Gateway, we’re positioning ourselves to provide the same exceptional service our clients have come to expect from our Grangemouth operation, but with greater geographic reach and flexibility.”
Jason and Candie Moir, Directors, explained the strategic thinking behind the expansion: “When the Grangemouth depot was established in 2019, it marked diversification from the road haulage business we were traditionally accustomed to. The team at Grangemouth has worked tirelessly, alongside our haulage arm, to develop a facility that offers both our long-standing and new customers a complete logistics solution.
“Always looking ahead, we identified a growing volume of work coming through London Gateway. As a result, the decision was made to expand our presence in that area, ensuring we continue to provide the high level of service our customers require and expect from Dyce Carriers Ltd. As Directors, we are excited about the future of the company and confident in the direction we are heading.”
All bookings will continue to be managed through established contact points: telephone 01324 357000 and email grangemouth@dyce-carriers.co.uk. Upon booking, you will receive full documentation, including container and seal numbers, followed by photographic evidence of loaded cargo. We also manage quayside container and flatrack bookings and arrange empty container releases.
With UK-wide haulage capabilities connecting both hubs, we are positioned to offer unparalleled flexibility for our customers requiring specialist OOG handling, whether cargo enters through Scotland’s central belt or via the Thames Gateway.
