DP World Unveils Eco-Friendly Vessel at Jebel Ali Port
DP World has officially welcomed the latest addition to its Marine Services fleet, the DP World Jebel Ali, marking its maiden call at its namesake, Jebel Ali Port. The DP World Jebel Ali is a Sapphire 5300 compact gearless container vessel, equipped with advanced maritime technologies aimed at improving cargo handling efficiency, reducing operational costs, and supporting a more sustainable shipping industry. Its compact design allows greater manoeuvrability, making it ideal for accessing smaller ports and inland terminals — a move that opens up new opportunities for expanding regional and global supply chains. To commemorate the vessel's inaugural call, senior executives from DP World and Unifeeder hosted a special reception at Jebel Ali Port, highlighting the port's continued importance in facilitating global trade. The vessel will be deployed on Unifeeder's Asian Gulf ISC Service (AGI), further boosting the network's connectivity. Designed with sustainability in mind, the DP World Jebel Ali is expected to save approximately 1,700 metric tonnes of bunker fuel annually, resulting in a 15–20% reduction in carbon emissions on its designated routes. Ganesh Raj, Global Chief Operating Officer of Marine Services at DP World, noted, 'The addition of the DP World Jebel Ali to our fleet strengthens our commitment to providing agile, efficient services that deliver value to our customers. This state-of-the-art vessel will help reduce our environmental impact while enhancing our network, which plays a critical role in regional and global supply chains.'
