In a bold move to reshape global trade routes and strengthen supply chain resilience, DP World has announced a $2.5 billion investment plan for 2025, targeting logistics infrastructure projects across four key continents—Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe. This strategic expansion marks a significant step in the company’s journey as a global trade enabler and reflects its confidence in the long-term growth of international commerce.



Driving Global Connectivity Through Flagship Projects



The investment will support the development of four flagship infrastructure projects that are set to enhance port capacity, multimodal connectivity, and economic integration in critical regions. With growing demand for seamless and integrated supply chain solutions, DP World is positioning itself to be at the forefront of future-ready trade systems.



India: Strengthening Port Access to Global Markets



In India, construction is already in progress on a $510 million terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat. This state-of-the-art facility will feature a 1.1-kilometre berth with a capacity of 2.19 million TEUs annually. The terminal will connect India's vast hinterland to global trade routes through improved road and rail infrastructure, boosting export-import efficiencies.



Africa: Unlocking Regional Trade Potential



In Africa, DP World is developing two major port projects. The first, a deep-sea port at Banana in the Democratic Republic of Congo, will have a capacity of 450,000 TEUs. This Atlantic coast terminal is expected to reduce logistics costs and improve transit times by attracting large vessels from Asia and Europe.



The second African initiative is the Ndayane Port in Senegal, backed by an $830 million investment. With a projected annual capacity of 1.2 million TEUs, this facility is poised to become a logistics powerhouse in West Africa, supporting economic development in the region well into the future.



South America: Expanding Capacity at Ecuador’s Port of Posorja

In South America, DP World is enhancing operations at Ecuador’s Port of Posorja with a $140 million berth expansion. The extension will allow the port to accommodate two post-Panamax vessels at once, significantly increasing throughput and strengthening Ecuador’s role in regional and global trade.



Europe: Making London Gateway the UK’s Premier Container Hub



In the UK, a massive $1 billion investment into the London Gateway logistics hub aims to position it as Britain’s largest container port by the end of the decade. The expansion includes two new shipping berths and a second rail terminal, with 400 new jobs expected to be created—further boosting the local economy and trade capabilities.



A Unified Global Vision



More than just physical expansion, DP World’s investment strategy highlights its commitment to building an integrated, digitally connected global supply chain ecosystem. With operations spanning ports, inland logistics, marine services, warehousing, and a network of 240+ freight forwarding offices, the company is leveraging its full suite of capabilities to offer end-to-end trade solutions.



Commitment to Trade-Driven Development



DP World’s announcement reinforces its belief in trade as a transformative force. From job creation to increased market access and economic development, these infrastructure projects are designed not only to support business but to drive societal progress. As global trade patterns evolve, DP World is investing in the future—ensuring that its infrastructure keeps pace with the demands of tomorrow.
