DP World handled nearly 200,000 TEU through Jebel Ali Port's truck and rail corridors in the past two months as Dubai reviewed new multimodal capacity at the Middle East's largest port, reports Saint Petersburg's PortNews.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum visited the port to inspect operations, the Jebel Ali Rail Terminal, the BOXBAY automated storage system, and Terminal 2's operations centre.

The Jebel Ali Rail Terminal is running up to eight daily services and has an annual capacity of 800,000 TEU, with expansion plans to 1.6 million TEU depending on market demand.

Jebel Ali Port supports 12,000 companies through the Jafza ecosystem and remains DP World's core regional gateway for container, road, and rail flows.

DP World stated that BOXBAY increases effective port capacity without requiring additional terminal footprint, while rail integration is being used to add resilience to Jebel Ali's maritime and road network.

DP World, headquartered in Dubai, operates terminals, logistics assets, forwarding offices, and maritime services across six continents.

Jebel Ali Port is DP World's flagship Dubai facility and the anchor of Jafza, the Jebel Ali Free Zone, which hosts companies across manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare, automotive, and food sectors.
