Default 'Super-port' opens for business

A new port has opened which could create 27,000 much needed jobs as well as well as pumping as much as £2.4 Billion to the British economy and the Unite trade union are already creating a fuss.

London Gateway, the UK's newest container port, has welcomed its first vessel.
The £1.5bn facility at Thurrock, Essex, is 20 miles (32km) down the River Thames from London.
It is owned by Dubai-based DP World, which says it will be able to handle 3.5 million containers a year.
