The port of Tilbury has welcomed a new 10,000 tonnes floating terminal to its base.
The 125m long Vesper will remain at the port for the next four years under its new agreement with London Container Terminal and Cemineral.
Commenting on the agreement, Kai Grotterud, CEO of Eureka Shipping, said: “We in Eureka are confident that the VESPER will become an important addition to our fleet.
"The barge has advanced equipment and is rather unique.
"The cooperation with Cemineral and the port of Tilbury to make the project become a reality has been excellent and we are looking forward to starting up the operation.”
