DP World has opened 51 new freight forwarding offices around Asia Pacific (APAC).
This brings DP World’s global number of operating trading offices to 161.
Glen Hilton, CEO & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, DP World, said: “Global trade is in the midst of an unprecedented era of flux in the face of growing geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
“We have an opportunity to help businesses navigate increasingly complex supply chains, as they seek enhanced market access and streamlined but resilient logistics from factory floor to customer door.”
In addition to managing trade flows through its ports and terminals, DP World is now reportedly in a stronger position to provide a more comprehensive suite of logistical services and greater flexibility in fulfilling the particular demands of clients across multiple industries.
Order and origin management, port handling, and freight management for ocean and air, as well as at-destination services such as customs clearance and bonded warehousing, are all part of DP World’s comprehensive logistics package.
The firm also provides a range of value-added services such as embedded trade financing, commodity-specific services, vehicles in containers, transload and sophisticated hubs, and others.
Recently, DP World and Evyap Group completed a strategic merger to establish a new international logistics facility in Turkey.
