Under a 50-year agreement in principle with the Fujairah Ports Authority, DP World will develop two terminals on the Gulf of Oman: Al Rugaylat (container and multi-purpose) with annual capacity of up to 2.5 million TEU, 1.7 million tonnes of general cargo, and 190,000 CEU, and Dibba (general cargo) with 3.6 million tonnes. Construction will be phased over 24–30 months, raising DP World’s total UAE container capacity from 19.4 million TEU to nearly 22 million TEU, and the terminals will be linked to Jebel Ali via inland logistics.

Context

It is DP World's third infrastructure expansion announcement in the past week, following a EUR 25 million green loan for Constanța and the deployment of electric tractors at Jeddah.
