DP World Unveils $2.5 Billion Global Logistics Expansion Across Four Continents in 2025

Ambitious infrastructure projects in India, Africa, Europe, and South America reinforce DP World’s leadership in building resilient, integrated supply chains for the future of global trade.

DP World has announced a bold $2.5 billion investment plan in 2025 aimed at expanding its logistics infrastructure across key regions including India, Africa, Europe, and South America. This strategic move comes in response to rising global demand for resilient and integrated supply chain solutions, positioning DP World as a vital enabler of international trade.

The logistics giant revealed four major development projects, set to break ground this year, that will significantly increase capacity and connectivity across its global network of ports and terminals.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and Group CEO of DP World, emphasized the company’s commitment: “Global trade is evolving fast, and we are investing boldly to shape its future. Despite short-term uncertainty, this $2.5 billion commitment reflects our confidence in long-term trade growth and our determination to build the infrastructure needed to keep the world connected.” He further added, “Nobody can match us for the diversity and breadth of our supply chain solutions.”

India’s Gateway to Global Markets
In Gujarat, India, construction is underway on a state-of-the-art $510 million terminal at Tuna Tekra, featuring a 1.1-kilometer berth and an annual capacity of 2.19 million TEU. This facility will link India’s vast hinterland to global markets through enhanced road and rail connectivity, accelerating trade and boosting efficiency for Indian businesses.

Boosting Trade in Africa
DP World is progressing with the development of the deep-sea port at Banana in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). With a projected capacity of 450,000 TEU annually, this new Atlantic coast port will attract direct calls from larger vessels operating between Asia and Europe, delivering substantial time and cost savings that will spur economic growth across the region.

Further strengthening Africa’s trade infrastructure, the company is investing $830 million in the Ndayane Port project in Senegal. Designed to handle 1.2 million TEU annually, this port is set to play a strategic role in supporting Senegal’s development throughout the 21st century.

Expanding in South America and Europe
At the Port of Posorja in Ecuador, a $140 million berth expansion is underway, increasing dock length to 700 meters and enabling the accommodation of two post-Panamax vessels simultaneously, enhancing the port’s operational capacity.

Meanwhile, at the London Gateway logistics hub, DP World is injecting $1 billion to build two new shipping berths and a second rail terminal. This expansion is expected to create 400 new jobs and bolster the UK’s stature as a leading trade gateway, with ambitions for London Gateway to become Britain’s largest container port by the end of the decade.

A Fully Integrated Global Supply Chain Platform
These investments reflect DP World’s comprehensive approach to logistics, encompassing ports, inland terminals, marine services, warehousing, freight forwarding, and advanced technology solutions. Supported by over 240 freight forwarding offices worldwide, the company’s integrated model offers unmatched visibility and control across the supply chain, helping partners minimize risk and costs.

“Our integrated model gives us visibility and control across the entire supply chain, helping our partners reduce risks and costs. No one else can offer this breadth of capabilities, and we are proud to deliver long-term value to the customers and communities we serve,” concluded Bin Sulayem.

As DP World advances these transformative projects in 2025, the company is setting new benchmarks for global logistics, driving economic growth, and fostering stronger international trade links in a rapidly changing world.
