The docks consist of loading areas, warehouses, and cranes that facilitate the transfer of containers and bulk materials between ships and land transport like trucks and trains. Today, Tilbury remains an important gateway for international trade, supporting industries such as manufacturing, retail, and distribution. Its strategic location near London makes it a key hub for commerce, contributing to regional economic activity and connectivity.
