Chatham Docks has significant benefits for the local Co2 emissions by allowing products to come in by sea instead of road. 1 ship of 4000 tonnes of cargo would take around 145 heavy goods vehicles to transport. Chatham Docks has around 180 ships per year, therefore that would be a potential on C. 26,000 more heavy goods vehicles required on Medway roads if it is not protected from development.
