Jebel Ali port opens new integrated gate

The 88,906 sq m ‘Gate 3’ complex is designed to facilitate quicker movement of cargo-laden vehicles by bringing together in one place various departments and clearing authorities, such as the DP World Documentation Section, Dubai Customs and Dubai Municipality Food Control.

The facility provides parking spaces for 188 trucks and pick-up vehicles, including 30 inspection bays for container trucks plus 28 inspection bays for pick-up vehicles used by Dubai Customs. There are also another 29 inspection bays for container trucks to be used by Dubai Municipality in a separate area within the complex.

Gate 3 has two entry and three exit lanes for vehicles, which connect directly to Dubai’s arterial road network. There is a further exit lane for returning to Jebel Ali Free Zone.
