DP World has surpassed 100 million TEUs in container handling capacity across its global network, marking a historic milestone since its founding. This achievement reflects over $11 billion in investments and infrastructure development over the last decade. It positions the company as a key player in global trade, enabling it to support customers’ business growth and provide comprehensive supply chain solutions.
In the past 10 years, DP World’s capacity has grown by 33%, largely driven by expansions, new greenfield developments, and acquisitions. Starting with 75.6 million TEUs in 2014, the company has focused on modernising its infrastructure to meet the changing demands of global trade.
The company’s global capacity increased by 5% in the last year, strengthening its platform for expanding into the supply chain. This growth secures DP World’s 9.2% share of the global container market, reinforcing its commitment to investing in the regions it serves while offering greater capacity to its customers.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, stated, “Surpassing 100 million TEUs is a significant milestone in our 45-year journey. This achievement reflects our commitment to world-class infrastructure, and we are confident the global container market will continue to grow, and we’ll have the capacity to meet that demand.”
DP World’s investments in ports and terminals worldwide have positively impacted developing markets. Notably, its recent acquisition of the Dar es Salaam facility in Tanzania has significantly improved port operations. Additionally, the company is investing in new ports in Senegal and India, further expanding its reach.
