Cory Cruise London Central Cruise Moorings

London Central Cruise Moorings: Gateway to the Capital

London Central Cruise Moorings was created to serve the contract awarded by the Port of London Authority (PLA) to operate under franchise, all cruise vessels using the London Cruise Moorings.

Vessels are received and dispatched mainly from Tower Bridge Upper, Tower Bridge Lower and Greenwich Ship Tier, with the additional facility of the floating pontoon terminal named ‘Welcome’. This latest investment by the PLA enables larger vessels to be handled at Tower Bridge Lower and further provides for additional turnaround calls at Greenwich Ship Tier, with further options of movement supply of persons or stores to ship, from any pier.

The port handling is undertaken by LCCM with the movement of passengers both debarking, embarking and in transit, with the discharging, loading and xray screening of baggage and stores. LCCM also provides the necessary security cover at ‘Welcome’ and the service piers.

To supply and operate security, our staff had to undertake appropriate training with the airport/airline standards being selected.
