    In October 2024, our CEO and Group Chairman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem announced a £1bn project to expand London Gateway and establish the facility as the UK's largest container port. Today, we are pleased to share that construction work for the major infrastructure project, which will add two further 400m-long all-electric berths and a second rail terminal, will begin in May. As part of this update, the Chairman hosted UK Minister of State for Investment, Baroness Poppy Gustafsson, at London Gateway to discuss the investment, growth plans, and new permanent jobs that will be created at the logistics hub. The expanded container port, part of the Thames Freeport , will be able to accommodate six of the world’s largest container ships, which will be served by Europe’s tallest quay cranes. Baroness Poppy Gustafsson OBE, Minister of State for Investment, said: “The UK is open for business and DP World’s major investment is the latest vote of confidence in our economy, delivering economic growth and showing our Plan for Change is working. “DP World’s expansion in London Gateway will turbocharge the UK’s logistics sector and help deliver the long-term, stable growth that supports skilled jobs and raises living standards across the UK.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eDBaZ5vk
