'''DP World''' is a [[multinational corporation|multinational]] [[logistics company]] based in [[Dubai]], [[United Arab Emirates]]. It specialises in cargo logistics, port terminal operations, maritime services and [[free trade zone]]s. Formed in 2005 by the merger of Dubai Ports Authority and Dubai Ports International, DP World handles 70 million [[ISO Container|containers]] that are brought in by around 70,000 vessels annually. This equates to roughly 10% of global container traffic accounted for by their 82 marine and inland terminals present in over 40 countries. Until 2016, DP World was primarily a global port operator, but since then, it has acquired other companies up and down the [[value chain]].

==History==

===Early history===
Dubai Ports International (DPI) was founded in 1999.<ref name=DPWHistory>{{cite web |url=http://webapps.dpworld.com/portal/page/portal/DP_WORLD_WEBSITE/About-DP-World/History |title=About DP World – History |access-date=2012-11-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105071829/http://webapps.dpworld.com/portal/page/portal/DP_WORLD_WEBSITE/About-DP-World/History |archive-date=5 November 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref> Its first project was at [[Jeddah]], [[Saudi Arabia]], collaborating with a local partner on the South Container Terminal (SCT). DPI then began operations at the ports of [[Djibouti]] in 2000, [[Vizag]], India in 2002 and [[Constanța]], Romania in 2003.<ref name=DPWHistory/> In January 2005, DPI acquired CSX World Terminals (CSX WT).<ref name=CSX>{{cite web|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/Dubai-ports-international-completes-acquisition-of-csx-world-terminals-54123952.html|title=Dubai Ports International Completes Acquisition Of CSX World Terminals|first=CSX Corporation; Dubai Ports|last=International|website=www.prnewswire.com|access-date=13 November 2017|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304032326/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/dubai-ports-international-completes-acquisition-of-csx-world-terminals-54123952.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In September 2005 Dubai Ports International officially merged with the Dubai Ports Authority to form DP World.<ref name=Merger>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailystar.com.lb/Business/Middle-East/Sep/29/Dubai-merger-sees-worlds-largest-port-operation.ashx#axzz2DRaJPjeM|title=Dubai merger sees world's largest port operation|date=29 September 2005|access-date=13 November 2017|archive-date=14 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114100643/https://www.dailystar.com.lb//Business/Middle-East/2005/Sep-29/67186-dubai-merger-sees-worlds-largest-port-operation.ashx#axzz2DRaJPjeM|url-status=live}}</ref> The rapid expansion through acquisition continued in March 2006 when DP World purchased the fourth largest ports operator in the world, [[P&O (company)|P&O]], for £3.9 billion.

===2006: US Port security ===
{{Main article|Dubai Ports World controversy}}
The ownership of various US ports by DP World (which had been acquired as part of the P&O deal) was seen as controversial by many in the United States even though it was supported by the US president [[George W. Bush]]; the US ports were sold shortly afterwards.

=== 2022: UK mass redundancy ===
{{Main|P&O sacking of 800 staff}}

On 17 March 2022, P&O Ferries sacked its entire British work force and abruptly suspended its operations, cancelling all sailings and offloading passengers and cargo. Eight hundred UK staff were told in a video call that their employment was "terminated with immediate effect due to redundancy", and that their work would in future be undertaken by staff contracted to a third-party supplier. A spokesman for the [[National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers]] said that there had been no consultation with the staff or [[trade union]]s.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Martin |first=Josh |date=2022-03-17 |title=P&O cancels services and tells ships to stay in port |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60779001 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220608125417/https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60779001 |archive-date=8 June 2022 |access-date=2022-03-17 |work=BBC News}}</ref> Staff on some ferries refused to leave their vessels.

The method of the expulsion, overseen by ex-military security guards, has been criticised by government and business leaders, and Mark Russell, a non-executive director of DP World, resigned afterwards in disagreement. P&O Ferries had recently seen losses during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] as well as deficits in its pension fund. Industry sources have also cited its high overheads and competition from [[Irish Ferries]] as contributory factors. Verity Slater, expert in maritime employment law at Stephens Scown, commented that P&O may not have to follow UK employment laws, since some of its ships are not registered in Britain.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Armitage |first1=Jim |last2=Arlidge |first2=John |last3=Hellen |first3=Nicholas |last4=Al-Othman |first4=Hannah |date=19 March 2022 |title=Bungs, handcuffs and foreign job ads: inside story of the P&O sackings |url=https://www.thetimes.com/world/ireland-world/article/bungs-handcuffs-and-foreign-job-ads-inside-story-of-the-p-o-sackings-cml3x5sfx |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320001938/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bungs-handcuffs-and-foreign-job-ads-inside-story-of-the-p-o-sackings-cml3x5sfx |archive-date=20 March 2022 |access-date=20 March 2022 |work=[[The Times]] |language=en}}</ref>

=== Recent history ===
P&O operated major US port facilities in [[New York (state)|New York]], [[New Jersey]], [[Philadelphia]], [[Baltimore]], [[New Orleans]], and [[Miami]]. Before the deal was secured, the arrangement was reviewed by the [[Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States]] headed by the [[US&nbsp;Treasury Department]] and including the Departments of [[United States Department of State|State]], [[United States Department of Commerce|Commerce]], and [[United States Department of Homeland Security|Homeland Security]]. It was given the green light, but soon after, both [[United States Democratic Party|Democratic]] and [[United States Republican party|Republican]] members of [[United States Congress|Congress]] expressed concern over the potential negative impact the deal would have on port security.

On 22 February 2006, President [[George W. Bush]] threatened to [[veto]] any legislation passed by Congress to block the deal, which would be the first time in his presidency he would exercise the privilege. In a statement to reporters, Bush claimed, "It would send a terrible signal to friends and allies not to let this transaction go through."<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4737940.stm | work=BBC News | title=Bush threatens veto in ports row | date=2006-02-22 | access-date=2010-05-01 | archive-date=12 January 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210112130600/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4737940.stm | url-status=live }}</ref> On 23 February 2006, DP World volunteered to postpone its takeover of significant operations at the seaports and on 9 March 2006, is said that it would transfer its operations of American ports to a "[[United States entity|US entity]]".<ref>Career Opportunity in [https://getdubaicareers.com/job/dp-world-careers/ DP World]</ref>

=== 2024: London Gateway port’s expansion ===
On 14 October 2024, DP World announced a £1 billion expansion plan of the London Gateway port at the London investment summit, despite criticism from the UK ministers. The investment was previously under review, after [[Louise Haigh]] called DP World’s subsidiary, P&O Ferries, a "rogue operator" for sacking 800 seafarers in March 2022. She had also urged consumers to boycott the company. Offended by Haigh’s comments, DP World had threatened to pull out of the investment summit. However, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem later confirmed to attend the summit and for the investment to go ahead as planned.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kelso |first=Paul |title=P&O Ferries owner's £1bn investment in UK will go ahead despite transport secretary calling for boycott of shipping firm |date=12 October 2024 |url=https://news.sky.com/story/pando-ferries-owners-1bn-investment-in-uk-will-go-ahead-despite-transport-secretary-calling-for-boycott-of-shipping-firm-13232541 |access-date=17 November 2024}}</ref> On 27 October, Ukraine’s [[Oleksandr Merezhko]] condemned DP World’s cooperation with Moscow, referring to Russian involvement in Ukraine war. He urged the UK ministers to cut ties with the firm due to its controversial business deals with [[Rosatom]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Geoghegan |first1=Peter |last2=Ungoed-Thomas |first2=Jon |title=Ministers urged to cut ties with P&O Ferries owner over links to Russia |date=26 October 2024 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/oct/26/p-and-o-ferries-owner-dp-world-russia-links |access-date=17 November 2024}}</ref>

=== Supply chain security ===
DP World has been certified as a partner in the [[Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism]] (C‑TPAT) initiative by [[US&nbsp;Customs and Border Protection]] – to date, the only international port operator to have achieved this recognition. This certification is primarily based on DP World's commitment to the independently audited international [[ISO/PAS 28000|ISO 28000]] security standards. DP&nbsp;World was the first global maritime terminal operator to achieve ISO&nbsp;28000 [[supply chain security]] certification and is rolling out the standard to all its terminals.<ref name="C-TPATfreelib">{{cite web|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/DP+World+joins+partnership+against+terrorism.-a0180137095|title=DP World joins partnership against terrorism. – Free Online Library|website=www.thefreelibrary.com|access-date=13 November 2017|archive-date=14 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114023823/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/DP+World+joins+partnership+against+terrorism.-a0180137095|url-status=live}}</ref>
