DP World said that expansion work at the Jebel Ali port is on track, as the Dubai-based company looks to ramp up the capacity at its flagship facility to meet growing demand. The expansion of container terminal 2 at Jebel Ali is scheduled to open for business in the second quarter of 2013, DP World said in an emailed statement.

Work on the new terminal 3, across the harbor from terminal 2, is also well under way to open in 2014 and take Jebel Ali’s total capacity to 19 million TEUs, the statement added. - Zawya Dow Jone
