London part of DP World global investment plan

AT THE London Gateway logistics hub, DP World is investing $1 billion to build two new shipping berths and a second rail terminal. The expansion will create 400 new jobs, support the UK’s growing role as a trade gateway and move the port closer to becoming Britain’s biggest container port by the end of the decade. 

Construction is also underway on a new $510 million terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat on India’s northwestern coast, while DP World is moving ahead with the development of the new deep-sea port at Banana in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Further up the West African coast, work is already underway on the new 1.2 million TEU a year Ndayane Port in Senegal. At the Port of Posorja in Ecuador, DP World has initiated a $140million berth expansion that will expand the dock to a total of 700m, enabling it to accommodate two post-Panamax vessels at the same time.
