FAQs

What role does DP World’s transportation play in healthcare logistics?
We firmly believe that trade is a force for good and the healthcare industry is a perfect example of how vital trade plays a role in facilitating access of products to people in need. We pride ourselves on playing an important role in this process, and our end-to-end logistics network – in APAC and the rest of the world – offers visibility, efficiency and connectivity, ensuring products can reach people, no matter where they are.
To expedite trade, we strengthen links between our customers, transport and terminals, including Thailand, as part of our end-to-end innovation. We collaborate with customers to create cold chain storage solutions and specialised technology for various drug requirements. You can rest assured that your goods are handled safely at every step thanks to our skilled teams integrating with yours.
We harness technology to automate trade flows and boost visibility through our supply chains. In our ports, including Laem Chabang, we are leveraging AI technology to create digital tools that are transforming trade. We can even detect and pre-empt temperature fluctuations in reefer containers, helping us preserve medical goods throughout the supply chain journey.
Our healthcare services in Thailand sit within our integrated global network – an infrastructure built on efficiency. As part of our net zero 2050 goals, we are electrifying all terminals and eliminating carbon emissions at these vital trade hubs. We are also endeavouring to use rail and barge transport as much as possible to deliver more of your goods with less environmental impact.
It is crucial that healthcare and pharmaceutical products are handled properly. From our facilities in Thailand to our fleet of trucks, vessels and barges, we maintain these standards in line with your guidance, communicating with you to maintain the right conditions for your goods. We work closely with distributors to pass on this important information and harness our technological solutions to ensure that pharmaceuticals benefit from automated chilled environments.
