Expanded Footprint Capitalizes on Strong Growth Prospects in APAC

APAC presents a significant opportunity for businesses, and DP World is poised to help them achieve their ambitions as an end-to-end supply chain solutions provider. The region is the largest and fastest-growing for outsourced logistics, projected to account for 40% of global revenues for contract logistics services by 2027. This year, APAC is also the fastest-growing region in terms of both exports and imports, with over 5% growth each.

Beyond expanding its APAC freight forwarding network, DP World has been strengthening its logistics capabilities in the region, including:

• Busan Logistics Centre: A US$50 million investment to develop DP World Busan Logistics Centre in Busan New Port, offering comprehensive value-added logistics services and processing nearly 80,000 TEUs per year by 2028.
• Savan Logistics Acquisition: Acquiring Savan Logistics, operator of Savannakhet dry port in Laos’ first special economic zone, located at the heart of the East-West Economic Corridor linking markets across Indochina.
• Sydney Rail Service: Introducing a daily rail service connecting Sydney’s Port Botany to Yennora Intermodal Terminal, providing cargo owners in New South Wales with a viable alternative to trucking, enhancing connectivity, reducing transit times, and creating cost efficiencies.
