DP World recognized for emissions transparency at Santos terminal. Third consecutive Gold Seal for independently verified emissions reporting comes as DP World invests in terminal electrification at the Port of Santos. September 03, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: DP World SANTOS, Brazil, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - DP World has earned the Gold Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program for the third consecutive year, recognizing the quality, transparency, and independent verification of the company's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory in Brazil. Earning the Gold Seal for a third consecutive year demonstrates the consistency and transparency of how we measure and manage our emissions. Coordinated by the Center for Sustainability Studies of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGVces), the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program promotes the measurement and public disclosure of corporate emissions using an internationally recognized methodology. The Gold Seal is awarded to organizations whose published emissions inventories undergo independent third-party verification. At Santos, DP World is pairing transparent emissions reporting with investment in lower-emission operations. As part of its broader decarbonization program in Brazil, the company has committed more than BRL 100 million to electrifying its entire fleet of 22 rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, avoiding approximately 3,600 tonnes of CO[2] emissions in 2025. DP World's 2025 Sustainable Development Impact Disclosure identified RTG electrification as the primary driver of emissions reductions at Santos. Earlier this year, the company added 15 electric internal terminal vehicles (ITVs) and three electric reach stackers in Santos, with 44 electric ITVs planned as part of the terminal's broader modernization. Between January and April 2026, diesel consumption declined 29.2% compared with the 2024 average. Fabio Siccherino, CEO of DP World in Brazil, said: "Earning the Gold Seal for a third consecutive year demonstrates the consistency and transparency of how we measure and manage our emissions. We are turning that data into action through continued investment in electrification and renewable energy, reducing emissions while modernizing our operations and supporting more efficient and sustainable trade for our customers." All electricity consumed at DP World's Santos terminal is sourced from renewable energy and verified through I-RECs. The company's Zero Landfill Program also diverts waste that would otherwise be sent to landfill toward recycling, material recovery or energy recovery. These efforts complement DP World's ongoing BRL 1.6 billion expansion of the Santos terminal, which will increase annual container handling capacity to 1.7 million TEUs by 2026, with plans to further increase it to 2.1 million TEUs. By investing in capacity, electric equipment and renewable energy, DP World is supporting growing trade volumes while reducing emissions and advancing its global net-zero commitment for 2050.

Dubai's DP World to build $4B Mombasa SEZ Industrial Park. Dubai-based logistics giant DP World has announced plans to develop a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Mombasa, Kenya, in partnership with GulfCap Africa. The project, known as the Mombasa Industrial Park, will cover 222 hectares and is strategically located less than 20 kilometers from the Port of Mombasa, East Africa's busiest seaport. The first phase, spanning 40 hectares, is expected to kick off soon, with the signing ceremony scheduled for September 8, 2026, at State House Nairobi. The SEZ aims to transform Mombasa into a regional hub for trade, manufacturing, and logistics. By offering modern infrastructure and streamlined services, the park will attract global investors and provide a competitive base for companies targeting markets in Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to project partners, more than 67 companies have already expressed interest in setting up operations within the park, signaling strong demand for industrial space in Kenya's coastal region. DP World has invested over $4 billion in African port and logistics infrastructure in the past five years, and the Mombasa SEZ forms part of its broader strategy to integrate ports, transport networks, and industrial zones into efficient trade corridors. For Kenya, the project represents a major boost to its industrialization agenda, promising thousands of jobs, increased exports, and reduced inland transport costs. It also aligns with President William Ruto's push to expand private-sector-led infrastructure development without adding to sovereign debt. Despite the optimism, challenges remain around execution, regulatory consistency, and long-term investor confidence. Industrial parks in Africa have historically faced occupancy struggles, but early commitments suggest the Mombasa SEZ could buck the trend. If successful, the project will not only strengthen Kenya's position as a logistics gateway but also set a benchmark for regional industrial development across East Africa.

"Reuters": Kuwait seeks alternative routes for its oil exports away from "Hormuz" - "Kuwait Petroleum Corporation" is holding talks with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to expand pipeline networks to accommodate oil shipments. - Gulf states are heading towards investments worth hundreds of billions in ports, pipelines, and railways. Published on 28-08-2026 | 14:51 Kuwait is seeking alternative routes for its oil exports that reduce its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, in light of the repercussions imposed by Iran's war on trade and energy export movements in the region, as Reuters revealed that the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation is holding talks with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to expand their pipeline networks to accommodate Kuwaiti oil shipments. The Kuwaiti move comes within a broader Gulf trend to reshape investment strategies and direct billions of dollars in capital towards infrastructure projects, from energy pipelines and ports to railways, with the aim of finding alternative routes and reducing dependence on the Strait of Hormuz after transit through it was effectively disrupted for most of the past six months. The war highlighted the Gulf states' heavy reliance on the strait, which used to be a transit point for about 20% of global oil flows, prompting the region's governments to study permanent and integrated solutions to reduce their dependence on it, according to an industry source who spoke to Reuters. While trade routes are being diverted to Saudi ports on the Red Sea and eastern ports in the UAE, their capacity remains lower, which reinforces the need for new investments to develop the necessary infrastructure to accommodate more trade and energy flows. The costs of these projects may exceed hundreds of billions of dollars in the coming years, while Gulf sovereign wealth funds, which are among the largest globally, have already begun to accelerate the pace of investment. Priority for ports and pipelines According to Reuters, ports have become a "highly important priority" for Gulf governments, in parallel with moves to expand pipeline networks that allow oil to be exported away from the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia has accelerated the implementation of multibillion-dollar plans to divert oil export routes away from the strait, including expanding the capacity of the crude oil pipeline extending to the Red Sea coast to the west, a step that could help neighboring countries transport more oil without the need to cross Hormuz. In the UAE, a new oil pipeline is being extended that will double the capacity to transport crude to Fujairah when it becomes operational next year, while DP World intends to develop two container terminals in the emirate and establish inland container depots. Iraq is also working to expand its oil exports via the Turkish port of Ceyhan, and aims to begin exporting oil through ports in Syria's Banias and Jordan's Aqaba by establishing new pipelines. The Kuwaiti moves to find additional options for transporting oil gain importance amid continued limited trade through the Strait of Hormuz, despite its partial opening at some times recently, and the lack of a clear end to the crisis between Iran and the United States, despite the receding of combat operations. The region's efforts are simultaneously expanding to include land transport, as the Turkish transport minister revealed last June that Turkey and Saudi Arabia intend to establish a railway line linking the two countries with Jordan and Syria within the next three or four years, expecting other Gulf states to join the project.
