The award, instituted 21 years ago by Cargonews Asia, a leading freight and logistics publication, is considered one of the most prestigious of its kind in the industry.
Mohammed Al Muallem, Senior V.P. & M.D., DP World-UAE, said: 'This award recognises our efforts to provide customers with the most efficient service today's cargo and logistics sector demands. We are honoured to retain the title of Best Seaport in the Middle East.
'We will continue to provide the same level of service which our customers have come to expect from a world class organisation such as DP World-UAE, especially in view of our new developments such as the Jebel Ali Terminal expansion which will be inaugurated in the third quarter of this year.'
DP World-UAE won the 'Best Seaport - Middle East' award after a rigorous evaluation which included nominations from customers, a technical analysis conducted by Cargonews Asia, voting by customers, industry specialists and readers. The finalists and winners were decided by an independent auditor.
DP World-UAE excelled in all the challenging criteria put forth by Cargonews Asia.
