“In today’s increasingly complex and competitive commercial environment, supply chains are under growing pressure. This injection of 47,000 TEUs into the existing ecosystem of DP World-owned assets will help our customers access the capacity they need, safe in the knowledge that their goods will be moved from end to end with a single partner.”
DP World’s owned assets span the full, multimodal logistics supply chain– from vessels, ports and terminals, economic zones, warehouse facilities, and specialist pharma-grade cold storage centers, to electric shuttle carriers, HVO-trucks, and digital wallets, all spread across 78 countries on six continents.
In line with DP World’s sustainability commitment, these containers will be transported on fuel-efficient vessels, trucks, and trains. DP World continues to focus on the strategic expansion of its assets and expertise, as part of its efforts to streamline the flow of trade, lower costs, and reduce environmental impact. Fundamental to these efforts is DP World’s commitment to its customers, and effort to simplify processes and boost technology to reduce friction and help trade flow.
