Chairman and Group CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem stated the bold investment signals long-term confidence in the fundamentals of international trade. “This commitment reflects our belief in building the infrastructure needed to keep the world connected,” he said.

In India, construction is progressing at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat, where a $510 million container terminal is being built. It will feature a 1.1-kilometre berth and a 2.19 million TEU annual capacity, enhancing multimodal access for India's hinterland.

In Africa, DP World is building the Banana Port in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a 450,000 TEU terminal on the Atlantic coast aimed at cutting logistics costs and attracting larger ships. Another flagship African project, Senegal’s Ndayane Port, is also advancing. With an $830 million initial outlay, it will support 1.2 million TEU annually, positioning itself as a top West African trade hub.

In South America, a $140 million expansion at Ecuador’s Port of Posorja will stretch the quay to 700 metres, enabling two post-Panamax vessels to dock simultaneously.

In Europe, DP World is investing $1 billion in expanding the London Gateway logistics hub in the UK. The works include two new berths, a second rail terminal, and the creation of 400 jobs. The upgrade aims to make it the country’s largest container port by the decade’s end.

This investment programme is also a step toward a more integrated global logistics model, with DP World’s operations spanning ports, terminals, rail, marine services, warehousing, and over 240 freight forwarding offices worldwide.

“Our integrated model provides end-to-end visibility, helping partners cut risk and cost,” said Bin Sulayem, highlighting the firm’s unmatched scale and connectivity.

The strategy aligns with DP World’s belief in trade as a driver of economic development, job creation, and improved access to global markets—positioning the company to meet shifting trade flows with world-class infrastructure.

DP World has unveiled a $2.5 billion investment plan for 2025 to accelerate the expansion of its global logistics network amid rising demand for integrated and resilient supply chain solutions. The capital will fund four major infrastructure projects across India, Africa, South America, and Europe, reinforcing DP World’s role as a global trade facilitator.Chairman and Group CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem stated the bold investment signals long-term confidence in the fundamentals of international trade. “This commitment reflects our belief in building the infrastructure needed to keep the world connected,” he said.In India, construction is progressing at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat, where a $510 million container terminal is being built.
