London Gateway volume surge encourages CMA CGM to continue diverting to Southampton
The article reports that Britain’s modern deep-water hub at London Gateway, operated by DP World, is experiencing growing operational strain due to yard-density build-up, bunching of vessels, and a boom in imports. These factors are combining to create congestion which is adversely affecting schedule reliability. As a result, carriers such as CMA CGM are choosing to divert certain service calls to neighbouring Southampton, also run by DP World, in order to maintain more predictable operations.
