en.Wedoany.com Reported - DP World, a port and logistics operator headquartered in Dubai, UAE, plans to develop and operate a container terminal at the Port of Corpus Christi in Texas, a move that could bring significant investment in trade infrastructure along the US Gulf Coast.

On June 16, DP World announced it had signed an exclusive negotiation agreement to secure a long-term lease for the right to develop and operate a container terminal at the port. The company stated that the agreement is a step toward expanding container cargo handling capacity at one of the busiest US ports, helping the Port of Corpus Christi capture new trade flows and support economic growth.

Under the proposed development plan, DP World will design, build, and operate a new container terminal to increase capacity and strengthen supply chain connections along the Gulf Coast. Brian Enright, CEO of DP World Americas, said in a press release that the US Gulf Coast is one of the most important trade and economic corridors in the United States, with growing demand for efficient and resilient port infrastructure. The Port of Corpus Christi offers a significant opportunity to expand container capacity, enhance supply chain connectivity, and open new pathways to global markets.

DP World currently handles approximately 10% of global container shipping volume annually through its network of over 60 ports and terminals worldwide, many of which operate far from its home country, the UAE. The company's recent investments in other regions include: a $760 million expansion announced in 2025 for the Port of Caucedo and its Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in the Dominican Republic; and the launch in 2024 of an intermodal transport service to move finished vehicles by rail from Mexico to the US and Canada.
