DP World To Invest USD 2.5 Billion In 2025 Global Port Expansions

04 Jul 2025 CW Team

DP World will pour USD 2.5 billion into four flagship projects next year to enlarge its worldwide logistics network and meet rising demand for resilient, integrated supply chains. Chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem said the spending underlines the company’s faith in long term trade growth despite current economic headwinds.

In India, work has begun on a USD 510 million container terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat. With a 1.1 kilometre berth and annual capacity of 2.19 million TEU, it will link the hinterland to overseas markets via upgraded road and rail corridors.

Across Africa, DP World is building the deep sea Banana Port in the Democratic Republic of Congo, designed for 450,000 TEU and capable of attracting larger Asia and Europe bound vessels. In Senegal, the firm is pressing ahead with the Ndayane project, initially a USD 830 million investment that will handle 1.2 million TEU and become a linchpin of West African trade.

In South America, capacity at Ecuador’s Port of Posorja will rise after a USD 140 million berth extension to 700 metres, allowing two post Panamax ships at once.

Meanwhile, a USD 1 billion injection into the London Gateway hub will add two berths and a second rail terminal, creating four hundred jobs and positioning the site to become Britain’s largest container port by decade’s end.

Beyond concrete and steel, DP World’s integrated model—covering ports, inland logistics, marine services, warehousing and more than 240 freight forwarding offices—gives it end to end oversight of cargo flows. This visibility, Bin Sulayem said, helps customers curb risk and cost while underpinning economic development and job creation in host markets. As trade patterns evolve, the company is expanding strategically to serve cargo owners with improved capacity and connectivity worldwide.
