Dubai’s Jebel Ali Port Sets New Record in Container Volumes for July 2024
In July 2024, Dubai’s Jebel Ali Port achieved a significant milestone by handling 1.4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), surpassing its previous record set in July 2015. This remarkable achievement underscores the port's critical role in global trade and its importance to Dubai's economy.
For the first half of 2024, Jebel Ali Port managed a total of 7.3 million TEUs, reflecting a 3.9% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth has been driven primarily by increased inbound cargo from key Asian markets such as China, Japan, and South Korea.
Operated by DP World, a global leader in port operations headquartered in Dubai, Jebel Ali Port is renowned for its efficiency and capacity. The port's strong performance is a testament to DP World's strategic investments in technology, infrastructure, and the expansion of its global network.
The adjacent Jebel Ali Free Zone, home to over 10,500 companies, has also benefited from the port's increased activity, further boosting Dubai's economic vision. Looking ahead, DP World anticipates continued growth in container volumes at Jebel Ali Port, fueled by robust regional trade and new trade agreements. This ongoing success positions Jebel Ali Port as a pivotal hub in global commerce and a cornerstone of Dubai's economic ambitions.
