DP World asset management

Global terminal operator, DP World, has launched an asset management programme – the largest in the industry – to improve efficiency across its global operations.

DP World's asset management policy will improve efficiency at its terminals

DP World says the new asset management framework, will brings all assets together under one system.

All assets, from quay and yard cranes, terminal yards and berth equipment, top energy supply outlets and plant machinery, will be managed across the full portfolio rather than terminal by terminal.

Mohammed Sharaf, CEO, of DP World, said: “This comprehensive programme will roll out over three years and will establish a consistent and coordinated approach to manage our substantial assets across our global portfolio. By ensuring that our assets are used to their absolute optimal level, we improve efficiency and reduce costs.”

DP World has awarded a three year contract to eAsset Management (eAssetM) to support the implementation of asset management practices globally and to create an Asset Management Centre of Excellence.

This follows a year long pilot study into the value and performance of asset management approaches in the company.
