DP World runs Jebel Ali as its global flagship, and in 2024 the port moved 15.5 million TEU – close to a fifth of the operator's worldwide volume and its highest container tally in nearly a decade. Four container terminals, more than 100 berths and roughly 25 kilometres of quay give it a nominal capacity near 19.4 million TEU, enough to turn around 24,000-TEU mega-vessels; in July 2024 it set a new monthly record of 1.4 million TEU. Beyond boxes, the port handles breakbulk, heavy-lift and Ro-Ro, with breakbulk up 23% to about 5.4 million tonnes in 2024. The adjacent Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) folds handling, warehousing and light manufacturing into a single customs regime, anchoring the port's role as the leading transshipment gateway for the Middle East, East Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Hinterland access rests on an extensive motorway network, with rail links through Etihad Rail now coming online. For shippers this translates into fast clearance, deep carrier coverage and dependable reefer capacity for food and pharma. Khalifa Port (Abu Dhabi) and Hamad Port (Qatar) are the closest alternatives for direct Gulf calls.
