DP World UAE Region showcases strength in petrochemical sector at GPCA 2019
Global trade enabler DP World’s flagship Jebel Ali Port handles 65 percent of the polymer exports from the GCC region and has showcased this industry-leading strength at the 14th Annual GPCA Forum in Dubai, organized by the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association in early December 2019.
A highlight of DP World UAE Region’s participation at the three-day event was the port’s enormous capacity to handle petrochemical and chemical products, as well as the world class integrated logistics hub created by Jebel Ali Port and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA).
Over 10,000 petrochemical manufacturers and traders benefit from the high value added services offered by the hub, and JAFZA is home to more than 500 petrochemical companies.
“DP World UAE Region counts the chemical and petrochemical sectors as part of our key industry clusters. Jebel Ali Port and JAFZA as an integrated hub, caters to the extensive demands of the industry at local and international levels,” stated Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO and Managing Director, DP World UAE Region.
The GCC economies are quickly moving into leadership position along the downstream supply chain, including distributing and selling the petroleum products.
In light of this, DP World UAE Region is strengthening its bond with every manufacture, trader and business under the chemical and petrochemical umbrella in line with its policy of seeing them as true partners in the supply chain.
