MOL and DP World to explore automated logistics
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and DP World are joining forces to explore automated logistics capabilities at Jebel Ali Port, helping reduce carbon emissions in the port and maritime sector in the UAE and beyond.
The companies have pledged to conduct feasibility studies for opportunities related to stocking, enhancing, and strategically redistributing fully assembled cars through Jebel Ali Port.
“MOL is already a major operator at Jebel Ali, and the new initiative aims at investing in facilities to further widen the scope of our operation there,” said Ajay Singh, MOL Group managing executive officer for India and the Middle East.
“It will contribute to the development of our auto logistics business in the Indian Ocean region, within which Jebel Ali is a highly efficient and modern gateway.”
The companies say the new cooperation will centre on developing the regional market for clean fuels for maritime and port-based applications, and other related decarbonisation business areas.
“DP World and MOL have a shared vision for sustainability and excellence in global maritime logistics and we look forward to strengthening our partnership through this memorandum of understanding,” said Abdullah bin Damithan, chief executive DP World GCC.
