DP WORLD IN THE UK
DP World is a leading provider of smart logistics solutions, helping trade flow across the globe. Through its network of logistics terminals, marine services, ports, and economic zones in 76 countries, the company is leading global trade into a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable future for customers.
In the UK, DP World is proud to be at the heart of Britain’s trading future. Whilst providing the right infrastructure, smart logistics solutions, and the benefit of Freeport status, the company has the ambition and resources to boost growth, support businesses, create jobs and improve living standards.
This ambition, coupled with DP World’s commitment to customers, has been demonstrated through London Gateway and Southampton – two deep water ports with freight rail terminals. Within a decade, London Gateway is likely to be the biggest port in the UK handling up to 30% of the country’s containerised trade, whilst Southampton is facing similar investments to increase the port’s capacity and improve its infrastructure.
DP World has £2 billion invested in the UK over the past 10 years, supporting the creation of thousands of jobs. With £1 billion earmarked for the next 10 years, the company is a catalyst for the regeneration of some of Britain’s most deprived areas.
The company aims to minimise the environmental impact of its global operations, with ambitious plans to reduce its emissions. At both London Gateway and Southampton, the rail connectivity capabilities ease congestion by taking 300,000 trucks off the UK roads annually, and Southampton recently became the first terminal in Britain to eliminate fossil diesel from its operations entirely.
DP World aims to think ahead, anticipate change and deploy industry-leading technology to create the smartest, most efficient and innovative trade solutions, while ensuring a positive and sustainable impact on economies, societies and our planet.
