DP World is investing $2.5 billion in global logistics infrastructure this year, creating nearly 5,000 new construction jobs across five countries as part of its push to strengthen trade routes and boost economic growth.
The projects span India, Britain, Ecuador, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting the company’s role in shaping international transport networks. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said the investment will deliver lasting benefits for communities and global trade.
India is a key focus, with 2,500 roles linked to a new terminal at Tuna Tekra and rail projects across the sub-continent. In Africa, 600 jobs are being created through the new deep-sea port at Ndayane in Senegal, while the Port of Banana in the DRC will employ 500 workers to build its first deep-sea facility.
In the UK, DP World’s $1 billion expansion of London Gateway will generate 1,000 construction jobs, positioning the hub to become Britain’s largest port. Meanwhile in Ecuador, the expansion of DP World Posorja is adding more than 300 construction roles and 100 operational positions.
Once complete, these projects are expected to support thousands more jobs and strengthen connectivity across regions, reinforcing DP World’s position as a key player in the global supply chain.
