DP World Chairman Meets Ecuador Minister Of Foreign Trade

DP World Group Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem met with Ecuador’s Minister of Foreign Trade, Pablo Campana, at the global trade enabler’s flagship Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone in Dubai recently.

The visit follows the ground-breaking ceremony held in September this year to mark the start of DP World’s construction of a greenfield multi-purpose port project at Posorja, Ecuador. The project is part of a 50-year concession the company won last year from the Government of Ecuador to build 750,000 TEU (twenty-foot container equivalent) of capacity to fuel the country’s economic growth and connect it with international markets.

Mr. Campana was taken on a tour of DP World’s semi-automated Terminal 3 in Jebel Ali which is a model for the facility being developed in Posorja. He also visited the Mina Rashid cruise terminal, which is the world’s largest single, covered cruise facility capable of handling 14,000 cruise passengers a day and Dry Docks, a market leader in the ship repair business with the largest ship repair yard in the Middle East.
