Anyone know what its used for? There's usually a ferry docked there when
I've driven over the bridge.
Cobelfret?
Cross-channel. Don't know where.
Zebrugge and Rotterdam.

Cobelfret Ferries’ vessel : maiden call on the Thames
C.Ro Ports at Purfleet has welcomed the latest vessel to join Cobelfret
Ferries fleet, Wilhemine, on her maiden call on the Thames. Wilhemine
is the third vessel in a series of four being built for the company by
Kyokuyo in Japan. The vessel will be a regular caller on the Thames on
the route from Purfleet to Zeebrugge.
C.Ro Ports and Cobelfret are jointly the busiest operator on the Thames,
with vessels travelling from their terminal at Purfleet (just upriver of
the QEII road bridge) and Ford Motor Company's facility at Dagenham to
destinations in Belgium and the Netherlands offering around 40 sailings
every week. Cargoes carried on their services include everything from
cars and machinery to foodstuffs and supermarket supplies.
