emirates7 - DP World plans to invest $2.5 billion in 2025 to expand its global logistics network, launching key infrastructure projects in India, Africa, South America, and Europe. This investment aims to meet the growing demand for integrated, resilient supply chain solutions by strengthening the company’s global port operations and reinforcing its role in international trade.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World's Chairman and Group CEO, emphasized the company's forward-looking approach, stating, “Global trade is evolving rapidly, and our investment reflects our confidence in long-term growth. We are building the infrastructure necessary to ensure continued global connectivity, helping our customers stay competitive and supporting economic development worldwide. Our supply chain solutions are unmatched in scope and diversity.”
Among the major projects:
India: A $510 million terminal is under construction at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat, with a 1.1 km berth and annual capacity of 2.19 million TEU. It will link inland India to global markets via road and rail, enhancing trade efficiency.
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Development is progressing on a deep-sea port in Banana with a capacity of 450,000 TEU. Located on the Atlantic coast, the port will attract larger vessels and reduce shipping costs and times, spurring regional economic growth.
Senegal: Construction is underway on the 1.2 million TEU capacity Ndayane Port. The $830 million project is seen as vital for the nation’s long-term economic development.
Ecuador: At the Port of Posorja, DP World is investing $140 million to extend the berth to 700 meters, allowing two post-Panamax vessels to dock simultaneously.
United Kingdom: At London Gateway, a $1 billion investment will fund two new berths and a second rail terminal. This expansion will 400 jobs and strengthen the UK’s position as a trade hub, moving the port closer to becoming Britain’s largest container port by 2030.
These investments align with DP World’s strategy to offer an interconnected logistics platform encompassing ports, inland logistics, marine services, warehousing, freight forwarding, and advanced technologies. The company now operates over 240 freight forwarding offices globally.
“Our integrated supply chain model gives us end-to-end control and visibility, allowing us to help partners cut costs and mitigate risks,” added Bin Sulayem. “This unique capability enables us to lasting value for both our customers and the communities we serve.”
