In a significant move to enhance its operational capacity, DP World has acquired 47,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) registered and branded under its name.
This acquisition marks a pivotal step in expanding the company’s cargo capacity, enabling it to respond swiftly and flexibly to customer needs.
The newly acquired containers will provide DP World’s customers with seamless access to essential container capacity, ensuring that even during peak demand or unforeseen disruptions, the movement of goods remains uninterrupted. By improving its control over delivery schedules, DP World aims to minimize the risk of delays, enhancing the resilience and responsiveness of its customers' supply chains in today’s fast-paced market.
This initiative aligns with DP World’s fleet renewal strategy, demonstrating the company’s commitment to offering reliable and efficient equipment. Investing in a younger fleet with reduced maintenance requirements will lower operating costs, allowing DP World to pass these savings directly to customers while ensuring consistently high-quality service.
Ganesh Raj, Global Chief Operating Officer of Marine Services at DP World, emphasized the importance of this acquisition, stating,
“In today’s increasingly complex and competitive commercial environment, supply chains are under growing pressure. This injection of 47,000 TEUs will help our customers access the capacity they need, with the assurance that their goods will be moved seamlessly from end to end with a single partner.”
DP World’s owned assets encompass a comprehensive multimodal logistics supply chain, including vessels, ports, terminals, economic zones, and more, across 78 countries. The containers will be transported using fuel-efficient vessels, trucks, and trains, aligning with DP World’s sustainability commitment and ongoing efforts to streamline trade flow while minimizing environmental impact.
