Dubai-based logistics giant DP World has announced a $2.5 billion investment to expand its global logistics network across key markets in India, Africa, South America, and Europe. The strategic move aims to strengthen global supply chains and improve connectivity between ports, inland regions, and international trade routes.
In India, DP World is investing $510 million to build a new terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat. With a 1.1 km berth and capacity of 2.19 million TEUs annually, the project will connect hinterland cargo to global shipping routes via road and rail.
Africa will see the development of two critical ports— a deep-sea terminal in Banana, DRC (450,000 TEU capacity), and the $830 million Ndayane Port in Senegal, expected to handle 1.2 million TEUs a year.
In South America, DP World is expanding Ecuador’s Port of Posorja with a $140 million dock extension to accommodate larger vessels. Meanwhile, in Europe, a $1 billion investment in the UK’s London Gateway will add two berths and a second rail terminal, creating 400 jobs.
DP World Chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem emphasized the commitment to long-term trade growth, saying these projects aim to ensure global connectivity and resilient supply chains.
