Supporting major south-east construction projects

The Port of Sheerness plays a key role in connecting the UK with mainland Europe and the rest of the world, helping to deliver strong, robust supply chains for a range of sectors.

London Medway's latest investment - the £100k 'Iron Grip' rebar magnet is allowing the port to handle greater quantities of rebar steel in a more efficient manner to support the ever-growing UK construction sector.

Enabling success

The newly-installed 'Iron Grip' giant magnet allows customers too: 

  • Increase the volume carried in each shipment
  • Eliminate the need for manual handling, significantly reducing health and safety risks associated with traditional methods of processing rebar.
  • Discharge cargo faster, increasing efficiency.
  • Reduce emissions from more efficient shipments.

These benefits allow you to minimise delays and increase the reliability of your supply chain, allowing for projects to be completed on schedule and without issue.
