FAQs

Further to the tax and cost perks our zones offer, we also integrate them into supply chains within our terminals, streamlining the flow of goods for you and your customers, wherever they may be.

Our largest zones include:

  • Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone (Jafza), UAE
  • London Gateway Logistics Zone, UK
  • Caucedo Logistics Centre, Dominican Republic
  • Mumbai Free Trade Warehousing Zone, India
  • Berbera Economic Zone, Somaliland.

Because DP World zones are integrated into our end-to-end logistics network, they are plugged into our supply chain software. This provides total visibility of cargo within our network and open avenues of communication for all parties, meaning synchronised trade flows throughout our zones and beyond.

Our network was built on our people, a family of 150 nationalities who live in the communities where we operate. This and our longstanding relationships with world governments keep us in tune with regional needs - and our zones operate in accordance with these. Read our Sustainability page to learn more.
