With DP World, sea transportation is just one of the many services we offer that integrate to create a seamless end-to-end experience for all of your shipping logistic needs. Our comprehensive supply chain solutions leverage advanced technology, industry expertise, and streamlined operations to ensure your shipping experience is fast, efficient, and reliable across all modes of transportation.

Supporting your sustainability goals 

Partner with DP World for sustainable sea freight solutions that align with your corporate environmental objectives. Our eco-friendly shipping options combine innovative vessel technology, carbon offsetting programs, and operational efficiencies to reduce your supply chain's environmental impact. We understand the growing importance of sustainability to your business and stakeholders, which is why our services are designed to help you meet environmental targets without compromising on reliability or efficiency. 

Flexible container transport options 

Your business is not one-size-fits-all, and your sea container options shouldn’t be either. DP World offers a wide variety of ocean freight shipping solutions that are scalable to fit your unique needs, including a full array of shipping container dimensions, full- and less-than-container load shipping, and break bulk cargo options. These flexible options ensure we can provide the best possible container transport experience for customers of all sizes. 

Full Container Load

When you are transporting a large quantity of goods, our Full Container Load (FCL) services give you exclusive access to a designated container space for your shipment. With a variety of shipping container dimensions available, this option allows you the flexibility to pick a container transport solution that is right for you. FCL services are the most secure and cost-effective solution for your high-volume sea freight shipments.

Less-Than-Container Load

Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) shipping consolidates goods from multiple shippers into a single container. Rather than paying for the entire container, you only pay for the space you occupy. This is a great solution for smaller shipments when you need the flexibility to move cargo frequently or to accommodate fluctuating supply and demand.

Breakbulk cargo

No matter the shape or size of your goods, DP World is prepared to seamlessly handle even the most specialised shipments. Across the vast international DP World shipping network, we have handled all types of break bulk cargo with speed and care. Our skilled terminal operations teams are equipped to  ensure the safe and efficient loading, securing, and unloading of all break bulk shipments.
