DP World will invest $2.5 billion this year to expand its global logistics footprint, launching major infrastructure projects across India, Africa, South America, and Europe. The move comes as part of the company’s strategy to meet rising demand for resilient, integrated supply chain solutions.
“These investments reflect our confidence in long-term trade growth and our determination to build the infrastructure needed to keep the world connected,” said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World Chairman and Group CEO. “No one else can offer this breadth of capabilities.”
Among the headline projects is a $510 million container terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat, India, with a 1.1 km berth and annual capacity of 2.19 million TEU. In Africa, DP World is progressing with the new deep-sea port at Banana in the DRC (450,000 TEU capacity) and the $830 million Ndayane Port in Senegal, designed to handle 1.2 million TEU annually.
In South America, DP World is investing $140 million to expand the Port of Posorja in Ecuador, enabling it to serve two post-Panamax vessels simultaneously. Meanwhile, in the UK, a $1 billion investment will add two new berths and a second rail terminal to London Gateway, creating 400 jobs and supporting the UK’s role as a global trade hub.
These developments are part of DP World’s mission to build an integrated global trade platform, from ports and terminals to freight forwarding and digital services, backed by a network of over 240 offices worldwide.
Bin Sulayem concluded: “We are building a platform that delivers long-term value to customers, partners and communities — because we believe trade is a force for good.”
