This comes after a robust first half of 2024, during which the port handled 7.mn TEUs
This achievement follows a robust performance in the first half of 2024, with the port handling 7.3mn TEUs, a 3.9 percent increase year on year. The growth was driven by robust inbound cargo movement, particularly from key Asian markets including China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
The ongoing expansion of Jafza has also been instrumental in driving container traffic through Jebel Ali Port. Hosting nearly 10,500 companies, Jafza continues to attract leading international corporations, bolstering trade volumes and contributing to economic diversification.
“As one of the largest and most efficient ports in the world, it remains a cornerstone of our global network, significantly contributing to Dubai’s economic vision and regional trade,” commented Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO, DP World Group.
“The port’s ability to consistently break new ground in container handling is a testament to the strategic investments we have made in technology, infrastructure, and the robust trade environment in Jafza and Dubai,” remarked Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & Managing Director, DP World GCC.
Jebel Ali’s growth is part of DP World’s broader success globally, with total consolidated throughput for the group reaching 42,580,000 TEUs, up 6.8 percent compared to the same period in 2023.
