Freeport status on film
Since DP World’s terminals at Southampton and London Gateway were both part of bids which were awarded freeport status by the British ministry of transport in early March, the Dubai-headquartered company published a film to illustrate its operations.
Over the last decade, DP World invested almost GBP 2 billion (EUR 2.35 billion) in its British affiliate, which constitutes the group's largest international investment outside the Middle East.
Ernst Schulze, chief executive of DP World in UK: “This two minute film explains the capabilities that we already have in this country and our ambitions for the future.”
Just one aspect is that the emphasis on rail services in both ports brings significant environmental benefits by taking 300,000 trucks off UK roads each year. The DP World in the UK film was produced by Studiomade. (cd)
