UAE - Mubasher: DP World, a Dubai-based global port operator, announced that it has expanded its business in Peru into a fully-integrated maritime and logistics operation.
The trade enabler’s business in Peru, which began with container handling at the Port of Callao, now caters to the needs of customers across the entire supply chain, according to a press release.
The integration will turn Peru into a trade hub for the Latin America region, with DP World Callao acting as undisputed Gateway for import and export container traffic of the South American country, as well as a chief point for regional transshipments.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, group chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “Our operations in Peru show in action DP World's strategy of enabling smarter global trade. We run ports, logistics hubs, trucking companies and maritime services providing our customers in Peru with seamless services at every stage of the supply chain."
"Peru is an optimum illustration of how we are applying around the world the know-how learned at Jebel Ali Port and JAFZA in Dubai. It is a benchmark of what we aim to achieve bringing greater prosperity to the countries in which we work, and to the UAE," Bin Sulayem added.
DP World has been investing in the Latin American country since building the Greenfield Port of Callao through the acquisition of Cosmos Agencia Maritima (CAM), which offers maritime services, and Neptunia and Triton Transport, which run logistics hubs, warehouses, bonded storage and trucking.
DP World is playing a key role in enabling global trade in the Americas with a network of terminals in Peru, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Suriname, and Canada.
The global port operator is also targeting a broader strategy to extend footprint across the supply chain, as exhibited in Peru.
