DP World
DP World is the Dubai-headquartered global ports, terminals and logistics operator — originally Dubai Ports World — that runs Jebel Ali Port and a large portfolio of container terminals, economic zones and logistics operations across the world. It is one of the largest marine terminal operators globally.
In the UAE, DP World is the port side of the Dubai Trade single window: container bookings, gate transactions and terminal operations flow through its systems, integrated with Dubai Customs (Mirsal) and the free zones. Beyond the ports, DP World has expanded across the end-to-end supply chain — feeder shipping, logistics, economic zones and digital freight.
DP World is the operator behind the region's most important port and a global network of terminals — so its systems, schedules and gate processes shape how cargo moves through Dubai and dozens of other hubs. For anyone moving containers through the UAE, DP World is the terminal counterparty that matters.
