Did Jebel Ali port operations get suspended in Dubai? DP World responds
Operations resume across all four terminals following brief suspension, confirms DP World
Dubai: DP World confirmed that all four terminals at Jebel Ali Port are now fully operational after a temporary precautionary suspension of activities.
The confirmation follows a report by Bloomberg stating that operations at the Dubai port had been halted briefly as a safety measure. A customer notice cited in the report indicated that terminal activity was paused as a precaution.
A spokesperson for DP World said operations have since resumed across all terminals following the temporary halt. Earlier, a fire broke out at one of the port’s berths after debris fell following an aerial interception. Civil Defense teams were deployed to contain the blaze in the early hours of Sunday.
Jebel Ali Port, the largest container port in the Middle East, is a key trade gateway for Dubai and the wider region, handling millions of containers annually and serving as a critical node in global supply chains.
