Up and running: DP World's digital platform
Dubai-headquartered DP World has launched several online tools, covering its sea, land and air shipping services on a global scale. The connected system of platforms enables freight forwarders and shippers to book shipments of cargo from and to destinations worldwide, by any combination of sea, land and air.
The port and terminal operator said in a press release it has accelerated the already planned roll-out of the platforms to help companies meet the challenge of the Covid-19 crisis. The initiative follows DP World's acquisition of Searates.com, a digital platform along with Landrates.com and Airrates.com. DP World has also created the Digital Freight Alliance which is an online association that brings freight forwarders globally onto one platform. (mw)
