DP World brings marine services under one global brand

DP World has consolidated three major Marine Services businesses under a single global identity, moving Unifeeder, P&O Ferrymasters and P&O Maritime Logistics fully into the DP World brand as the company advances its strategy to become an integrated logistics provider.

Under the change, the businesses will operate as Shipping Solutions (formerly Unifeeder), Multimodal Solutions (formerly P&O Ferrymasters) and Maritime Solutions (formerly P&O Maritime Logistics).

All digital platforms, physical assets and customer-facing touchpoints will transition to the DP World brand over the coming months, though each division will continue operating with its current leadership, teams and infrastructure.

DP World unifies global marine services

The company said the transformation marks a significant point in its shift from global port operator to fully integrated logistics partner, offering customers a seamless suite of services across sea, land and offshore operations. Together, the three divisions provide connectivity across continents and support complex global supply chains.

Shipping Solutions operates a fleet of 150 vessels ranging from 350 to 8,500 TEU and connects more than 200 ports through over 16,000 annual port calls. Multimodal Solutions manages more than 100 rail modalities across Europe and the UK, operates 14 inland terminals and supports specialist cargo services through dedicated industrial corridors spanning road, rail and sea.

Maritime Solutions manages a fleet of over 400 vessels, including 17 Multi-Purpose Cargo Vessels designed for challenging project cargo operations, and provides pilotage and towage services in multiple ports worldwide.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at DP World, said: “We are building a future where trade flows effortlessly. While we honour the legacy of the brands we have built, we are now evolving together as one DP World team to further enhance our customer offering across the globe. Unifying these brands complements the next natural step in our transformation journey from a leading port operator into a fully integrated global logistics provider.”

Ganesh Raj, Global Chief Operating Officer, Marine Services at DP World, said customers increasingly expect seamless end-to-end delivery. “Unifying our Marine Services businesses under one brand reinforces our ability to meet that expectation while positioning ourselves for growth in an increasingly complex logistics landscape,” he said.

“Employees will continue to do what they do best, delivering critical services and solutions across the global supply chain, but now under a shared identity that reflects the full strength of DP World.”
