Mohammed Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World, announced that the company is committed to investing 9.17 billion dirhams (approximately 2.5 billion USD) in 2025 to expand its global network, creating new growth opportunities in India, Africa, South America, and Europe.
In a recent post on LinkedIn, he highlighted that these investments include a long-term concession in Tartus, Syria, achieving record volumes in Peru, and new investments in the London Gateway project. He emphasized that these achievements reflect the company’s focused approach to building trade infrastructure in strategically important locations.
Bin Sulayem added that the integrated logistics platform of DP World now spans 58 countries, with 255 offices worldwide, enabling teams to deliver enhanced services to clients. The company is also developing a stablecoin payment system to foster transparency and expedite operations starting in 2026.
In the maritime services sector, he noted the integration of Unifeeder, P&O Ferrymasters, and P&O Maritime Logistics under a unified identity to strengthen the company’s global offerings. Furthermore, a major EPC contract has been secured for the world’s largest floating LNG facility, along with new agreements in Syria and Afghanistan to establish crucial regional trade corridors.
Regarding sustainability, bin Sulayem mentioned that 65% of the electricity used in company operations now comes from renewable sources. Additionally, a crucial initiative was launched at Jebel Ali to facilitate electric container throughput between terminals, marking a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions. This aligns with the recent issuance of DP World’s blue bonds worth 100 million USD at the end of 2024.
He continued by stating that the 2025 impact report demonstrated how business success can lead to tangible changes in communities, with the company’s social programs positively impacting 4.48 million people, backed by nearly 100 million USD invested over the past decade.
Bin Sulayem reaffirmed that the company’s employees are at the heart of this journey. DP World has prioritized career development through its inaugural Global Learning Week and expanded initiatives for early career stages. Fourteen countries achieved a “Great” rating in the Great Place To Work survey, reflecting the company’s cultivated corporate culture.
To conclude, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem stated that as they enter 2026, their focus remains clear: to provide lasting value to clients, partners, and communities. He expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to the firm’s progress throughout 2025.
