DP World Jebel Ali records highest container volumes since 2015

DP World handled 15.5m teu in 2024 at Jebel Ali Port, an up to 1m teu increase on the previous year, marking the highest throughput since 2015.

The figure represents nearly 18% of DP World’s total global container throughput of 88.3m teu for the year, which was an 8% year-on-year increase and demonstrates the company’s resilience amid macroeconomic headwinds and concerns over the outlook for global trade.

Container throughput growth was driven by strong local and regional demand, particularly from Asia and the Indian Subcontinent, new shipping services that boosted global connectivity, and efficient operations that kept cargo flowing smoothly, despite challenges like the Red Sea crisis.
