DP World\u2019s Marine Services business, Shipping Solutions (\u201cShipping Solutions\u201d), has acquired the DP World Chennai, a 5,000+ TEU container vessel, and integrated it into its Red Sea\u2013Gulf\u2013India service, strengthening trade links between India and the Middle East.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vessel\u2019s maiden call at Jebel Ali marks Shipping Solutions\u2019 owned capacity of over 6 million TEU, and enhances schedule reliability for customers across key markets in the region.<\/p>\n

Ganesh Raj, Global COO, Marine Services, DP World, said: “The acquisition of DP World Chennai enhances our capability to offer consistent and scheduled connections throughout the India\u2013Middle East corridor. This initiative is not solely focused on expanding capacity; its core purpose is to enhance our product flexibility, thereby reassuring our customers that their shipments will be delivered as expected. Our customers rely on dependability and adaptability, so our solutions set us apart in contemporary supply chains.”<\/p>\n

This acquisition is an integral part of DP World’s comprehensive strategy to establish a more robust and varied network through a mix of proprietary assets, sustained investment, and enhanced synergy between port and marine services. With the continued expansion of trade volumes throughout the region, DP World is dedicated to refining service consistency, facilitating planning predictability, and accommodating the evolving logistical requirements of its clientele. The year began with DP World\u2019s Shipping Solutions advancing up to 15th place in Alphaliner\u2019s global Top 50 carriers ranking, reflecting the strength of its network and partnerships with customers.<\/p>\n

DP World is strengthening its support for India\u2019s trade infrastructure with plans for $5 billion investment in the coming years. Shipping Solutions has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with India\u2019s Sagarmala Finance Corporation Limited (SMFCL), a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways to collaborate on developing and scaling sustainable coastal and shortsea shipping services across the country.<\/p>\n
