  • Shell Haven is the historic name for the port on the north bank of the Thames Estuary at the eastern end of Thurrock, Essex, England. DP World, which now owns the port, received planning consent in May 2007 for a new major deep water container port at the site, which is known as London Gateway. Shell Haven was mentioned in Samuel Pepys Diary on June 10th 1667. The site previously known as Shell Haven or Shellhaven was originally an inlet on the north bank of the Thames, about a mile to the west of Canvey Island. This was the mouth of Shell Haven Creek, which runs east and south of the village of Fobbing, and originally separated Corringham Marsh from Fobbing Marsh. To the east was Shell Haven House. Sources differ on when Shell Haven first became associated with the oil industry; the first edition Ordnance Survey map of the early 1800s shows Oil Mill Farm a mile or so up Shell Haven Creek. Shell Haven was for over 80 years the site of a large Shell oil refinery, but there seems to be no evidence for the company taking its name from the site.
