For the first time, DP World has acquired 47,000 containers, registered and branded to the company, to increase its cargo capacity and ability to respond to customer needs.
The UAE-based port operator said this acquisition provides its customers access to container capacity, ensuring that even during peak demand periods or unexpected disruptions, they will be able to move their cargo.
By investing in a younger fleet with reduced maintenance needs, DP Worlds aims to reduce its operating costs-passing these savings directly to customers, who can depend on consistently high-quality service.
Ganesh Raj, Global Chief Operating Officer of DP World’s Marine Services, commented: “In today’s increasingly complex and competitive commercial environment, supply chains are under growing pressure. This injection of 47,000 TEUs into the existing ecosystem of DP World-owned assets will help our customers access the capacity they need, safe in the knowledge that their goods will be moved from end to end with a single partner.”
