UAE Business: DB Schenker opens third mega logistics facility at Dubai South – Gulf Digital News

Dubai South, the largest single-urban master development focusing on aviation, logistics and real estate, has announced that DB Schenker has launched its third mega logistics centre in the Logistics District, which marks its continued growth in the MENA region.

The third facility, which is temperature-controlled, offers a total space of 90,000 Euro pallets providing warehousing solutions for different industries, including dangerous-goods storage and B2C e-commerce delivery services, leveraging its ideal connectivity to land, sea, and air freight transportation modes.

The facility also has a 5,000 sq m mezzanine floor exclusively designed for various value-added service activities.

The solar system placed on the roof of DB Schenker’s facilities in Dubai South will produce the full energy demand of the 74,000 sq m of warehouse space and 5,000 sq m of office buildings, saving 4,000 tonnes of C02 emissions annually, the equivalent of planting over 400,000 trees.

The green logistics hub will provide a sustainable ecosystem for bonded and non-bonded operations and an end-to-end integrated suite of goods and customised services for customers. The new state-of-the-art facility, which will serve as a distribution hub for the GCC, will be a single source for all logistical requirements.

The inauguration was attended by Mohsen Ahmad, CEO of the Logistics
