DP World has confirmed its position as a Premier Partner in

support of Dubai’s bid to host the World Expo in 2020. Success

would see Dubai become the first city in the Middle East, Africa

and South East Asia to host the Expo.

Expo 2020

Capacity Expansion at Jebel Ali Port

DP World is integral to the

economic development and

the progress of Dubai and

the UAE. We continue to

position Jebel Ali Port as the

gateway port of choice to

handle cargo destined for

the Middle East, India and

Africa regions.

In 2011, we saw a 12

percent YOY increase in

volume with a record

throughput of 13 million

TEU. The port has

unparalleled connectivity

with over 170 shipping lines,

98 weekly services to over

115 direct ports of call and

delivers our customers a

high level of efficiency.

As the largest and busiest

container port in the region,

Jebel Ali Port is the

preferred port of call for

major global ship operators,

who continue to order ultra

large container ships

(ULCS) in line with current

liner trends.

We embarked on the

expansion of our current

terminal 2 as well as the

development of new

Terminal 3. Work

commenced on Terminal 2

in February this year, scope

of the expansion is to extend

the quay by 400 m; this

would increase quay length

in terminal 2 from 2.6 kms to

3 kms (an additional of 400

m) which will take the

container handling capacity

at Terminal 2, from five

million TEU to six million

TEU by May 2013.

With this, Terminal 2 will be

able to consecutively handle

seven of the largest

container ships currently

sailing the ocean.

As it stands today, progress

has been made to demolish

the existing breakwater,

piling or foundation works for

both STS* and RMG** are

currently underway, The

Quay wall work is ahead of

schedule and over 80

percent of the underwater

blocks are already in

position.

DP World has also

embarked on building a new

container terminal at Jebel

Ali Port – Terminal 3.

Terminal 3 will be one of the

finest modern marine

terminals in the world with a

quay length of 1,860 metres,

a draught of 17 metres, and

a 70 hectare storage yard.

When operations commence

at the new terminal in 2014,

total capacity at Jebel Ali will

reach 19 million TEU.

The infrastructure at the new

terminal will include the

deepening of the channel

depth to accommodate the

next generation of container

ships with a capacity of

18,000 TEU.

DP World, UAE Region has

already signed agreements

with local and international

companies for the supply of

19 Ship to Shore (STS) quay

cranes and 50 Rail Mounted

Gantry (RMG) cranes for

this development. These

quayside and gantry cranes

will be equipped with

sophisticated technology

and are designed to deliver

peak productivity and

efficiency for our shipping

lines.

DP World is the third largest

marine terminal operator in

the world, with 10% of the

world market share in

container handling. We

remain committed to

continuing to meet the

needs of the region’s

growing markets and will

continue to invest in line with

market demands. Our

expansion plans will further

strengthen Flagship facility,

Jebel Ali Port’s position as

the most efficient and

modern gateway for cargo in

the region and enhance its

role as an economic growth

engine.

Mina Al Hamriya plays a key

role in facilitating non-

containerised cargo

movements between Dubai

and countries in the Gulf,

South Asia & East Africa. A

traditional port historically

and Mina Al Hamriya was

used for carrying out trade

much before Mina Rashid

and Jebel Ali Port were

developed.

Today it has a rather

distinctive value proposition.

It is a unique port with its

offering being able to cater

to all types of vessels from

wooden dhows to bulk,

break-bulk, RoRo ships at

its 14 berths with a draft of

upto 6m.

Few know that Dubai

Municipality’s Veterinary

Division operates a

quarantine location at the

Port, adding to the unique

features offered by the port

and making the port of

choice for the livestock

importers.

Mina Al Hamriya is currently

being modernised to a

general cargo facility. The

master plan is focused on

maximising cargo storage

and handling capabilities as

it fits into our overall

strategy and commitment to

nurture trade.

As part of the first phase,

one million square feet of

yard has been paved,

fenced, and gated. These

open yards are now available

for lease for traders and

logistics companies. The

location of the port is

strategically designed to

cater to the traditional

customer base here,

including traders from Iran,

Iraq, Africa, South Asia;

freight forwarders;

consolidators etc. Proximity

to Deira market, which is one

of the largest trading hubs of

UAE, makes the Port an

attractive choice for traders.

Mina Al Hamriya offers all

essential facilities and

services for the smooth and

operations like secure and

bonded zone with lighting

and power, telecom

connectivity, 24x7 security

monitored by CCTV, new

control tower equipped with

latest marine equipment. A

new IT network has been

installed to link the

operations with the gate and

control tower. Also the

project covered re-

developing the main gate,

new signboards and the

control tower. Further

Updates from Mina Al Hamriya

P3

DP World UAE Region caters to all sectors of trade in Dubai

enhancements include re-

developing the main gate,

new signboards, and

drainage system.

The second phase includes a

modern facility for the

exclusive use of the fishing

industry at the port.

Construction work has

already begun on the facility

and is due to be completed

this year. The development

will create a new 1,650-metre

long wharf with a capacity to

accommodate 190 fishing

boats.

Our expansion plans are in

direct response to the needs

of our customers and the

fishing community and are

aimed at delivering

sustainable value to our

customers through

operational innovation.

Upcoming African Cluster Purpose built infrastructure comprising of yards (out

of port premises), shops, showrooms, restaurants,

community facilities, Proximity to Deira market,

easier transportation and connectivity, warehousing,

storage, consolidation possibilities - lowering

logistics costs; scalability & lease options on land

and varying sizes available making it suitable for

freight forwarders and traders.

EHS at DP World

DP World believes that a

sound safety and

environment approach to

business is a “need to have”

and not a nicety. This

sustainable approach will

delineate us from the

competition by attracting

new business, retaining

existing and upcoming

talent, reducing both direct

and indirect costs,

streamlining our business

and reducing the impacts

that safety and

environmental related

incidents can have in a

business environment. It is

also part of our commitment

to our staff and

shareholders that by

improving our safety and

environmental performance

we are valuing our people

and those that invest and

trust us.

As an example DP World’s

flagship port, Jebel Ali Port,

has recently achieved the

dual milestone ISO14001

and OHSAS18001

certification. This milestone

is the culmination of two

years of collaboration

between Operations and

Safety and Environment

Department to achieve the

requirements of the

international management

system standards. Whilst

this achieves the corporate

guidelines for our

businesses that span the

globe, the achievement was

notable for the umbrella

certification that contains

Container Terminal 1,

Container Terminal 2,

General Cargo, Marine and

Technical Departments. DP

World recognises the

importance of certification

and understands that this is

beginning of a continual

improvement journey. This

achievement is as much a

part of the continued

modernisation of our

industry as the advent of

automated port activities,

which incidentally is one of

Jebel Ali’s next milestones

when Terminal 3 opens to

service the futuristic mega

vessels that will soon be

carrying over 18000 TEU.

Other elements that

showcase our commitment

to safety and environmental

performance are our recent

local award for sustainable

transport. Our automated

gate installation has

reduced the waiting time for

vehicles at the gate which in

turn saves fuel for our

valued customers and

increases productivity. This

awards was given by the

RTA at a recent awards

night where our Managing

Director, Mr Mohammed Al

Muallem received the award

from RTA officials.

Another first for DP World was being one of

the only port operators to report publicly to

the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The

CDP is an independent not-for-profit

organization working to drive greenhouse gas

emissions reduction and sustainable water

use by business and cities.

The CDP advises numerous investment

funds holding over 74 trillion investment

dollars. Our carbon reduction target in place

since 2009 using 2008 as our benchmark

year. At present our container terminals

have reduced our carbon output by 26%

through a range of innovative projects.

The Safety and Environment Department in

Jebel Ali is honoured to be able to contribute

to our quarterly newsletter. We hope to

update you in the future about proposed and

pilot programmes that showcase DP World

innovation.

Helping children in need has

been a top priority for DP

World UAE Region

throughout the year and

especially during the Holy

Month of Ramadan. In 2012,

community activities

comprised of supporting

hundreds of orphans, special

needs children and

Palestinian children needing

medical care.

The initiatives were

organised in line with DP

World’s corporate

responsibility commitment to

contribute positively to the

communities where it

operates. For the second

consecutive year, we

donated to needy orphan

families through the Beit Al

Khair Society, a UAE charity

organisation where the DP

World team undertook the

responsibility to sponsor 500

orphan children. The support

provides financial and/or

logistical aid to orphan

students throughout their

education until graduating

from universities and further

equip the children to make

their living independently.

DP World, UAE Region also

sponsored a fundraising Iftar

organised by the

Mohammed Bin Rashid Al

Maktoum Foundation in

support of the Palestine

Children’s Relief Fund, a non

-profit body founded in 1991,

providing free medical

treatments for children and

aiding the humanitarian crisis

facing Palestinian youths in

the Middle East.

We organised Iftar meals for

over 700 workers every day

at our flagship facility in Jebel

Ali, in addition to collecting

books that will be sold during

the “Pink Book Fair” in

October, with the proceeds

donated to the breast cancer

awareness campaign “Safe

and Sound”.

Blood Donation Drive at

the traditional Mina Al

Hamriya

Over 50 employees donated

blood at a special blood

donation camp set up at Mina

Al Hamriya on 28th August

2012.

In line with the company’s

Corporate Responsibility

objectives, a campaign was

organised to raise public

awareness about disorder

and to contribute much-

needed blood to the Dubai

Blood Donation Centre run

by Latifa Hospital and Dubai

Health Authority.

As part of the campaign, e-

fliers were also distributed to

more than 100 employees at

Mina Al Hamriya, and other

companies operating in Mina

Al Hamriya informing them

about Thalassemia, which

renders the body incapable

of synthesising blood

properly and requires the

sufferers to have a complete

blood transfusion once a

month throughout their life.

In cooperation with the

Emirates Thalassemia

Society and the Dubai Health

Authority, DP World, UAE

Region is leading the

initiative to prevent

Thalassemia through a three-

phased campaign –

Awareness, Prevention and

Blood Donor Registration – to

curb the prevalence of

Thalassemia in the UAE and

support those currently living

with Thalassemia.

Why a vessel called

she?

The exact reason why boats

are called she in English is

lost to history. Boats are a

truly interesting case in

English, as they are among

the only inanimate objects

that take a gendered

pronoun, whereas most

others are called it.

Countries are also called

she, as are cars sometimes,

but the latter example is

almost certainly an

extension from boats.

One plausible theory is that

boats are called she

because they are

traditionally given female

names, typically the name of

an important woman in the

life of the boat's owner, such

as his mother. It has also

been surmised that all ships

were once dedicated to

goddesses, and later to

important mortal women

when belief in goddesses

waned. Interestingly,

although male captains and

sailors historically attributed

the spirit of a benevolent

female figure to their ships,

actual women were

considered very bad luck at

sea.

A second theory as to why

boats are called she points

to the existence of

grammatical gender in most

Indo-European languages

besides English. While

Modern English has hardly

any grammatical gender,

limited for the most part to

cases of natural gender,

such as the nouns "woman"

and "man" being called she

and he respectively, there is

evidence that English once

has a more extensive

system of grammatical

gender, similar to that in

languages such as German

and French. In most Indo-

European languages with

grammatical gender, the

word for "ship" is feminine.

In Old English texts, there is

more evidence of

grammatical gender, such as

a shield being called she.

The Lighter Side The Culture Corner

Arabic Coffee—

Rediscovering the spirit of

traditional drink

If it weren't for the Arabs,

there would be no Starbucks

and no skinny latte, no

whipped to go. Coffee is said

to have originated in

Ethiopia and been

transported through Arabia

before reaching Europe.

When you are in the UAE,

especially on business,

coffee, as well as tea, will

often be offered to you in

offices and at Arab's homes

as a symbol of hospitality. It

is not considered

appropriate to decline taking

coffee since the tradition of

offering coffee is Bedouin,

and thus offering coffee is

symbolic of hospitality. The

coffee is called Kahva. The

coffee is poured from a pot

similar to Aladdin's lamp,

into a small cup called

finjaan, which is about the

size of an espresso shot.

The pot, called a dallah,

usually has a long spout and

is made from brass.

A shake of the cup shows

that you have finished.

- Not shaking the cup and

giving it back to the server

will result in another cup

being poured.

- If you prefer another drink

before the server comes

around with the spout and

are offered, then do not be

afraid to ask.

- Only use your right hand

when drinking, eating or

offering.

- Sometimes, but not always,

dates will be offered with

the coffee.

Expo 2020... What it means to us?

What is World Expo?

World Expos are a key meeting point for the

global community to share innovations and

make progress on issues of international

importance such as the global economy,

sustainable development and improved

quality of life for the world’s population.

Every five years, World Expos attract millions

of visitors who explore and discover

pavilions, exhibitions and cultural events

staged by hundreds of participants including

nations, international organisations and

businesses.

Each World Expo is a catalyst for economic,

cultural and social transformation and

generates important legacies for the host city

and nation.

As an inclusive and cosmopolitan nation,

hosting the World Expo 2020 would be a

natural next step in the UAE’s development

and vision; aiming to connect people and

new ideas with enduring benefits for future

generations at home and around the world

under the theme ‘Connecting Minds,

Creating the Future.’

In November 2011 Dubai and the UAE

became a candidate city of the bid

process to host World Expo 2020.

Being a global trade and logistics hub, a

gateway to emerging markets, and having

first class infrastructure are among the major

factors that qualify Dubai to win the bid, and

DP World, through Jebel Ali’s unmatched

efficiencies in the region, is a major

contributor to Dubai’s and the UAE’s

successes.

Interesting Facts

World Expo is one of the world’s oldest and largest international events that takes place

every five years and lasts for up to six months.

Participants include nations, international organisations, companies and civil

organisations. They attract millions of visitors and are characterised by a chosen theme which has to be of universal concern.

World Expo has never been held in the Middle East, Africa and the South East Asia

region

Why Dubai and the UAE is bidding to host World Expo 2020

We want to welcome the world and show that there is a lot more to know about Dubai

and the UAE – a focus on education and the knowledge economy.

We have one of the world’s youngest populations on earth – World Expo represents

an opportunity for the young people to contribute ideas to the future. A lasting legacy for both the UAE and World Expo.

The project is in line with future plans for Dubai and the UAE

In 2021 the UAE will celebrate its Golden Jubilee – an opportunity to connect Expo 2020

into our country celebrations
