DP World will invest $2.5 billion this year to expand its global logistics network, launching major infrastructure projects across India, Africa, South America and Europe in response to rising demand for resilient, integrated supply chain solutions.<\/p>\n


The four major developments \u2013 across four continents \u2013 extend DP World\u2019s end-to-end capabilities, significantly expanding capacity in its network of global ports and reinforcing its positions as a key enabler of global trade.<\/p>\n


Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and Group CEO of DP World, said: \u201cGlobal trade is evolving fast, and we are investing boldly to shape its future. Despite short-term uncertainty, this $2.5 billion commitment reflects our confidence in long-term trade growth and our determination to build the infrastructure needed to keep the world connected.<\/p>\n


\u201cWe are building a unique array of assets and suite of capabilities, helping our customers stay competitive, support local economies and enable global access. Nobody can match us for the diversity and breadth of our supply chain solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n


Construction is underway on a new $510 million terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat on India\u2019s northwestern coast. Featuring a 1.1 km berth and annual capacity of 2.19 million TEU, the terminal will connect India\u2019s vast hinterland to global markets through a network of roads and railways, enabling faster, more efficient trade access for Indian businesses.<\/p>\n


DP World is moving ahead with the development of the new deep-sea port at Banana in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The 450,000 TEU a year facility on the DRC\u2019s Atlantic coast will bring significant cost and time savings for the country’s trade, as it will attract more direct calls from larger vessels from Asia and Europe, boosting economic growth across the region.<\/p>\n

Further up the West African coast, work is already underway on the new 1.2 million TEU a year Ndayane Port in Senegal. An initial investment of $830 million is being made in this strategically vital project, which will support the country\u2019s development for the rest of the century. At the Port of Posorja in Ecuador, DP World has initiated a $140million berth expansion that will expand the dock to a total of 700m, enabling it to accommodate two post-Panamax vessels at the same time.<\/p>\n


Finally, at the London Gateway logistics hub, DP World is investing $1 billion to build two new shipping berths and a second rail terminal. The expansion will create 400 new jobs, support the UK\u2019s growing role as a trade gateway and move the port closer to becoming Britain\u2019s biggest container port by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n


The 2025 investments underscore DP World\u2019s strategy to create a uniquely connected global platform, from ports and terminals to inland logistics, marine services, warehousing, freight forwarding and technology. It\u2019s married to a growing network of freight forwarding offices \u2013 now standing at more than 240 worldwide — to meet the needs of ever more cargo owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur integrated model gives us visibility and control across the entire supply chain, helping our partners reduce risks and costs. No one else can offer this breadth of capabilities, and we are proud to deliver long-term value to the customers and communities we serve,\u201d Bin Sulayem added.<\/p>\n


The expanding footprint reflects DP World\u2019s belief in trade as a force for good \u2013 creating jobs, accelerating development and improving access to goods for millions worldwide.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
