Dubai Trade is revolutionizing trade operations with the launch of Trade+, an advanced digital platform designed to streamline cargo release processes and enhance efficiency across Dubai’s supply chain and logistics sectors.
Evolving from the Digital Delivery Order (DDO) system, Trade+ facilitates seamless digital exchange of cargo release documents between shipping lines, freight forwarders, and consignees, significantly reducing processing times. The platform, integrated into the Dubai Trade Single Window, enables businesses to cut transaction times by 90%, completing tasks that previously took up to 48 hours in under 10 minutes.
Beyond improving efficiency, Trade+ supports Dubai’s sustainability goals by eliminating paper-based transactions. In 2024 alone, the platform has prevented the printing of an estimated 2.36 million documents, reducing carbon emissions associated with travel and fuel usage.
Dubai Trade continues to refine Trade+ to meet evolving business needs, reinforcing the emirate’s status as a global trade and logistics hub. The initiative aligns with Dubai’s Economic Agenda D33 and its Smart City vision, solidifying the city’s position as a leader in digital transformation and sustainable urban development.
