Port of Tilbury Grain Department

Cargo type: dry bulks – cereals, feed beans, peas, rapeseed, maize and Soya beans
The Bulk Grain Terminal at Tilbury has been one of the most successful of the PLA initiatives of the 1960s. In 2002 the facility handled over 500,000 tonnes of imports (wheat, barley, oats, beans, peas, rapeseed) and nearly 300,000 tonnes of exports (wheat, maize, Soya beans). A large amount of grain is processed nearby, as Rank Hovis, Allied Mills and ADM Milling have flourmills near the terminal.
