 DP World, for the first time, has acquired 47,000 TEUs, which have been registered and branded for the company.

The new containers will increase DP World’s cargo capacity and ability to respond quickly and flexibly to customer needs, says an official release.

"This acquisition provides DP World’s customers seamless access to critical container capacity, ensuring that even during periods of peak demand or unexpected disruptions, they have the ability to keep goods moving. By enhancing its control over delivery schedules, DP World can minimise risk of delays, which makes customers’ supply chains more resilient and responsive in today’s fast-paced environment."
