DP World Secures 50-Year Concession for Two New UAE Terminals

DP World has secured a 50-year concession from Fujairah Ports Authority to develop two new terminals on the UAE's east coast, positioning the facilities outside the Hormuz Strait. The Al Rugaylat container and multi-purpose terminal and the Dibba General Cargo terminal will collectively boost DP World's UAE container handling capacity from 19.4 million teu to nearly 22 million teu. The expansion significantly enhances general cargo and ro-ro capabilities. Group Chief Executive Officer Yuvraj Narayan said the development addresses capacity constraints at Jebel Ali, which operates at high utilization. The project delivers additional capacity for long-term growth while offering cargo owners greater flexibility, expanded choice, and improved supply chain resilience.
