DP World Expands UAE Gateway Bypassing the Strait of Hormuz

DP World has signed an agreement in principle with the Fujairah Ports Authority to develop two new port terminals on the UAE’s east coast, expanding capacity at a strategically located gateway outside the Strait of Hormuz as regional shippers seek greater flexibility and resilience in their supply chains.

The agreement, structured as a 50-year concession, covers the development of the Al Rugaylat container and multi-purpose terminal and the Dibba General Cargo terminal. Together, the projects are intended to create a new deep-water trade gateway on the Gulf of Oman while strengthening connections with DP World’s existing logistics network centered on Jebel Ali.
