DP World Expands Maritime Fleet to Accelerate Road-to-Sea Cargo Shift
Scaling up its specialized domestic maritime operations, DP World's Marine Services business division, Shipping Solutions, has formally expanded its fleet with the acquisition of the DP World Indus. The freshly inducted asset is a fully India-flagged container vessel boasting a carrying capacity of over 2,500 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). The strategic deployment marks an immediate escalation in DP World's local capacity footprint, aligning closely with central initiatives to reinforce domestic maritime corridors and build multimodal supply chain depth.
