Light Shell Haven

Shell Haven

Shell Haven was a port on the north bank of the Thames Estuary at the eastern end of Thurrock, Essex, England, and then an oil refinery. The refinery closed in 1999 and the site was purchased by DP World, who received planning consent in May 2007 for the new London Gateway deep-water container port at the site. The neighbouring Coryton Refinery remained in operation until 2012.

Light

Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometers (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz. The visible band sits adjacent to the infrared and the ultraviolet, called collectively optical radiation.
