When Dubai Cargo gateway was built in 1991, it was designed to handle 150,000 tonnes of cargo per year. The 300,000-square-metre complex was built at a cost of $75 million (about Dh 275.5 million) to accommodate air and sea freight growth and facilitate transshipment operations between the Indian sub-continent, South East Asia, the Far East and Europe. Within a few years, the facility became too small to accommodate rising demand.
As Dubai rapidly transformed itself into one of the world’s key re-export hubs, DCG’s terminals and sea-air cargo centre repeatedly proved their ability to cater to emerging needs. In 2006, Dubai Cargo gateway celebrated 15 years of dedicated service to the international business community.
Today, with a strategic multi-phase expansion plan that will set Dubai as one of the world’s top six cargo destinations, and with Dubai airport hosting 112 airlines, the future of Dubai Cargo gateway looks very bright.
