About DP World
DP World is one of the largest marine terminal operators in the world, with 44 terminals and 13 new developments across 28 countries. Its dedicated, experienced and professional team of nearly 30,000 serves customers in some of the most dynamic economies in the world.
DP World aims to enhance customers’ supply chain efficiency by effectively managing container, bulk and other terminal cargo.
The company constantly invests in terminal infrastructure, facilities and people, working closely with customers and business partners to provide quality services today and tomorrow, when and where customers need them.
In taking this customer-centric approach, DP World is building on the established relationships and superior level of service demonstrated at its flagship operations in Dubai - Port Rashid and Jebel Ali. Jebel Ali has been voted “Best Seaport in the Middle East” for 14 consecutive years. DP World’s international achievements were recognised in 2006, when Lloyd’s List’s awarded it the prestigious Port Operator of the Year Award.
In 2007, DP World handled more than 43.3 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent container units) across its portfolio from the Americas to Asia – an increase of 18% on 2006. It has global capacity of more than 48 million TEU, which is set to increase significantly in coming years with a committed pipeline of expansion and development projects in key growth markets, including India, China and the Middle East. Capacity will rise to around 90 million TEU by 2017.
