DP World to invest in London Gateway Logistics Hub

DP World is set to invest in London Gateway logistics hub to increase supply chain resilience and create more capacity for the world’s largest vessels.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said, “As a central pillar of Thames Freeport, London Gateway’s new fourth berth will allow even more customers to benefit from world class ports and logistics, with unrivalled global connectivity, on the doorstep of Europe’s largest consumer market. 

“DP World plans to be at the heart of Britain’s trading future and this investment shows that we have the ambition and the resources to boost growth, support businesses, create jobs and improve living standards.”

Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, will be guest of honour at today’s commercial launch of Thames Freeport at the Savoy Hotel in London. 

He added, “Our new freeports will create national hubs of trade, innovation and commerce, and attract more investment to regenerate communities and level up the UK.

“Bringing ports and business together to invest in their regions is crucial to the Freeports success story – that’s why I’m thrilled that DP World is investing £300 million to support Thames Freeport – creating new opportunities, boosting growth and supporting local jobs.”
