UNLOCK OPPORTUNITY WITH DP WORLD ECONOMIC ZONES
We’re on a mission to unlock opportunity and make trade a force for good – and our Economic Trade Zones are making this possible. Our hubs, located in thriving economic centres across the globe, offer advantageous tax incentives, seamless connectivity through multimodality and prime locations for key markets. Many of these hubs operate as free trade zones, allowing businesses to benefit from reduced barriers and enhanced operational efficiencies.
WHY DP WORLD FOR ECONOMIC ZONES
Streamlined
We manage our customers’ supply chains from the factory floor to the customer door. Our Economic Zones and the clients that use them are integrated into this perfectly synchronised model.
Efficient
We deploy the latest technology to boost communication throughout our zones, eradicating inefficiencies, increasing resiliency and accelerating the flow of trade.
Value
We have the assets and expertise to offer you so much more than simple A to B logistics. Our Economic Zones are a testament to this, connecting your business with our world-leading operations so you can tap into added, cost-effective benefits.
CORE OFFERINGS
Sustainability
The electrification of our zones and terminals is cutting carbon emissions. Our multimodality reduces the footprint of your supply chains, too.
Location
Throughout our network, our economic trade zones sit in the world’s most strategic locations, giving businesses unrivalled market access throughout the globe.
Connectivity
Our economic zones are embedded within our ports, so your business is synced with our global terminal operations and multimodal solutions.
Flexibility
We offer a diverse range of facilities that can be tailored specifically to your needs, from plots of land to distribution warehouses.
Specialist
Industrial cargo can be hazardous or fragile, so our warehousing can be refrigerated or built in line with regulations for safe chemical handling.
Multipurpose
From manufacturing sites to offices, we can house every aspect of your company within our zones to cut costs and boost flow for your business.
WHY DP WORLD
Logistics Parks
Especially designed to manage storage and distribution, our Logistics Parks are directly linked to various transport options to streamline the flow of goods from your warehouse to your customers. Some clients also use our logistics parks for light manufacturing, such as packaging and assembly.
Industrial Parks
We offer vast areas of land within our port vicinity for businesses to adapt for their own needs. As well as offices, you may choose to build warehousing and manufacturing sites on these plots – all of which will be connected to our terminals and their world-leading multimodal solutions.
Free Economic Zones
Our Free Zones offer reduced or tax-free economic activity in line with local trade and commerce regulations. This means you can manufacture, store, import or export goods without being subject to customs duty. These zones, often referred to as free trade zones, are ideal for businesses growing into new markets or with high volume throughputs.
Special Economic Zones (SEZs)
Within our sites, we have areas similar to Free Zones where business and trade laws differ from those of the country we’re based in. This freedom often unleashes opportunities for foreign businesses in new markets, making higher investment levels easier and even easing regulatory administrations.
