Dubai-based largest port operator, DP World has entered into a partnership deal with Latin America’s newest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics provider, Emergent Cold Latin America (Emergent LatAm) to develop two temperature-controlled logistics facilities within DP World Logistics Parks in Latin America.  

The developments are expected to provide both Emergent LatAm and DP World’s customers with a fully integrated supply chain solution.  

As part of the partnership deal, the developments will be focused on two locations. First in DP World Caucedo, a world-class logistics hub and free trade zone located in Punta Caucedo, near the city of Santo Domingo. Caucedo is the newest and most modern port on the island and a gateway for the Caribbean food trade. 

The second location is Duran Logistics Center (Ecuador), which began operations last year as part of a large investment in this important global trade market. Ecuador’s main export commodities include shrimp and bananas.  

Further, the parties are committed to exploring development activities in other DP World locations in Latin America to improve their service offerings and establish a cold-chain footprint.
