In a landmark partnership, DP World, a leading provider of global end-to-end supply chain solutions, has partnered with the Port of London Authority (PLA), host of the British Ports Association (BPA) annual conference 2023.

This milestone event (17-19 October) will take place at the Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge.

This partnership reflects DP World’s continuing support for the UK maritime sector – a cornerstone of the British economy that manages 95% of all international trade, facilitating over 25 million international passenger journeys annually.

In addition to its UK hubs at London Gateway and Southampton, DP World’s offer includes the P&O Ferries and P&O Ferrymasters subsidiaries, and contract logistics businesses respectively, all of which are being integrated into the company’s global network.

Operating in 78 countries, DP World now handles 10 per cent of world trade.

The conference, hosted by the PLA, in partnership with DP World, promises to be a riveting assembly of industry frontrunners.

It is a platform for participation from port members, associates, government officials, regulators, and international maritime representatives in two days of thought-provoking panel discussions, keynote speeches, and expert presentations.

Additionally, the conference will offer delegates ample networking opportunities.

The event will commence with a welcome reception along the Thames, followed by a celebratory Party in the Sky and will wrap up with a gala dinner, presented by DP World, honouring the maritime community’s accomplishments.

On the concluding day, participants will be able to join a guided tour of Tilbury and London Gateway ports.
