Dubai Shipping Update – December 19, 2025

Dubai continues to solidify its position as a global maritime hub. DP World reported a record-breaking performance at Jebel Ali Port, handling 15.9 million TEUs in the first 11 months of 2025 — a 4.6% increase year-on-year.

Key highlights:

- November 2025: Highest monthly throughput ever at 1.5 million TEUs.

- Strong growth driven by Asia-Europe and intra-Asia trade, despite regional disruptions.

- Dubai Maritime City expansion: $1.2 billion investment for new land and green shipping facilities (LNG bunkering focus).

- UAE-India ties strengthened with $2 billion port deals and new direct services.

Jebel Ali remains a vital transshipment point as carriers resume Suez routes post-Red Sea calm.
