DP World’s $2.5 billion investment in end-to-end logistics infrastructure worldwide in 2025 is generating nearly 5,000 new jobs across four continents. The global supply chain solutions provider, which already employs more than 100,000 people directly, is driving economic transformation through major port and logistics projects. 

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DP World, said: “We are delighted that our investment is providing jobs for almost 5,000 people this year alone to help deliver major upgrades to the transport infrastructure of five different countries. Trade has the potential to transform people’s lives and these new jobs show one of the ways that works in practice.” 

In India, 2,000 jobs are being created at Tuna Tekra terminal in the north-west, along with 500 roles through rail and inland terminal projects. In Senegal, 600 jobs are linked to the construction of a new deep-sea port at Ndayane, while in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 500 positions are emerging at the Port of Banana, the country’s first deep-sea port. 

Britain’s London Gateway expansion, worth $1 billion, is generating 1,000 roles, while in Ecuador, the expansion of DP World Posorja is creating 300 construction jobs and 100 operational roles. Once complete, these projects will support thousands more direct and indirect jobs, strengthen trade flows, and boost regional economies.
