DP World, the global logistics leader, announced it has exceeded 100 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in container handling capacity across its global operations. This achievement highlights over a decade of strategic investments worth $11 billion in infrastructure upgrades and expansions.
In the last 10 years, DP World’s capacity has grown by 33%, starting from 75.6 million TEUs in 2014. The company credits this growth to new greenfield projects, acquisitions, and continuous infrastructure improvements to meet the demands of the evolving global supply chain. Over the past year alone, its gross container handling capacity increased by 5%.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, told WAM, “Crossing the 100 million TEU mark is a momentous milestone in our journey, which began 45 years ago. This achievement reflects our commitment to investing in world-class ports and logistics infrastructure to make trade flow.”
The company’s market share now stands at 9.2% of the global container market. With new ports under development in Senegal and India, DP World is poised to further expand its footprint. Analysts, including Drewry Container Forecaster, expect global container throughput to grow by 2.8% this year, a trend DP World is ready to support with its expanding network.
The company’s investments in infrastructure, multimodal transportation, and tailored logistics solutions continue to strengthen its role in global trade, connecting businesses to customers efficiently.
