DP World Mundra Sets Record with Eco-Friendly Innovations

Dubai-based logistics giant DP World achieved its highest-ever monthly throughput in July at its Mundra facility. The company has handled over 17 million TEUs since 2003. Recent eco-friendly upgrades include introducing electric cranes and vehicles, significantly reducing their carbon footprint.

Dubai-based logistics operator DP World reported a record monthly throughput of 1,29,368 TEUs in July at its Mundra facility.

Since its inception in 2003, DP World Mundra has handled a total throughput of 1,74,95,602 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The company shared this milestone in a recent statement.

The facility has implemented several green initiatives, including the introduction of new electric Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (e-RTGCs) and the electrification of existing ones. The terminal has also upgraded its Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) to electric versions (e-LMVs) and converted diesel Forklift Trucks (FLTs) to electric (e-FLTs).

"Our ongoing efforts in equipment electrification will further minimize carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices in port operations," said Ravinder Johal, DP World Chief Operating Officer for Ports & Terminals, Operations & Commercial, Middle East, North Africa & Subcontinent.
