DP World opens 'smart' logistics centre linked to the port of Callao, Peru
DP World, which operates a container terminal at the port of Callao located near the Peruvian capital of Lima, has opened a smart logistics centre that is connected by optical fibres to the port. This connection helps transfer data to the port and customs, and will enable clients to control their goods using their own devices.
DP World Group chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, said: "The new platform is designed to drive trade flow in the surrounding area, west of South America, with focus on making customers happy through providing smart logistics services that ensure time saving and cost efficient cargo movement and management between the logistics centre and the port of Callao."
Sultan bin Sulayem added: "Today DP World is serving and enabling about 53 per cent of global trade, an achievement we couldn't have attained without sound strategic planning and innovation in all aspects of our business."
He was cited as saying in a report by Al-Bawaba Business from Amman, Jordan that the group is planning to open more logistics centres across Peru to ease container traffic at the Callao terminal by means of smart control and monitoring of shipments for the best benefits of traders, investors and Peru's overall economic growth.
