OVERVIEW

POWERING ENERGY AND TRADE

With a versatile fleet and decades of expertise, we support the full offshore and port lifecycle, enabling efficient and sustainable operations. Our end-to-end solutions span offshore energy, renewable projects, port services, and specialised logistics for complex operations.

 

From tender response through vessel mobilisation and daily execution, our operations and technical teams support you at every stage. When a charter is awarded, we prepare the vessel to meet client-specific compliance requirements, local regulations, and operational demands before mobilisation. Charter contracts range from short-term requirements to multi-year commitments.

Uncompromising Standards 

We maintain our fleet to the highest international standards, meeting SOLAS, IMO, OCIMF, and class requirements. Certified equipment, rigorous maintenance, and approved engineering keep every vessel operating safely.

Shore-Side Expertise 

Every offshore operation is supported by our onshore team through planned maintenance, dry dock coordination, incident prevention, and responsive engineering and operational support.

Fleet Renewal and Sustainability 

We are committed to continuous fleet rejuvenation and emissions reduction. Our forward programme includes investment in dual-fuel and diesel-electric hybrid propulsion technologies, supporting the energy sector’s transition toward lower-carbon operations.

OUR FLEET

We operate one of the youngest and most diverse fleets in global port and offshore maritime, with over 400 vessels spanning port and harbour craft, inland waterway tugs and barges, offshore support vessels, and specialist cargo carriers. 

 

Built for safety, performance, and sustainability, our fleet is deployed flexibly across regions, with ongoing investment in asset upgrades and innovative vessel design.

    MARITIME SOLUTIONS FAQs

    DP World provides comprehensive maritime solutions, including vessel chartering, towage, pilotage, crew transfer, offshore logistics, and cargo handling. We deliver integrated services to enhance operations and support global trade.

    Maritime solutions and shipping solutions serve different purposes. Our Shipping Solutions focus on feedering, shortsea, and multimodal container transport, while Maritime Solutions cover offshore energy support, port services, bulk modalities, and specialised vessels such as module carrying vessels for oversized cargo.

    We operate across offshore energy hubs, ports, and coastal waterways worldwide, including established offshore energy markets where our OSV fleet supports major energy sector operators. Vessel deployment is flexible, moving between regions as project and charter requirements change.

    Our cargo ranges from energy infrastructure and renewable energy equipment to dry bulk, agricultural commodities, and heavy-lift, out of gauge loads. Module Carrying Vessels illustrate the range: their shallow draft has been used to move oversized modular structures through remote, environmentally sensitive waterways that conventional vessels could not access.
