With the vision of leading the future of world trade, DP World is built on the principles of creating growth, driving results, supporting people to excel and constantly adapting and evolving. It focuses on enabling smarter trade, providing logistical solutions and maritime services. Operating in 60 countries, it now handles 10 per cent of worldwide container traffic. It also runs Jebel Ali in Dubai, one of the largest ports in the Middle East and one of the most successful free trade zones in the world.
