DSV completes go-live in Dubai following integration with Schenker

DSV has officially completed the go-live of its Dubai operations following the global integration of the former Schenker organisation, marking a major step in strengthening the company's role as an integrated logistics provider in the Middle East. The milestone, celebrated last week with teams across Dubai, represents a significant expansion of DSV's operational scale and capabilities in one of the region's most strategic logistics hubs.

The Dubai transition brings together deep expertise across air & sea, contract logistics, and road transport, combining the strengths of both organisations to create a more scalable and resilient UAE logistics network. This unified structure allows DSV to deliver future-ready supply chain solutions designed to support business growth and meet increasing demand for end-to-end logistics across MENA.

Strengthening DSV's footprint in a strategic Middle East hub

Dubai's go-live substantially enhances DSV's infrastructure and service offering across:

• Air & Sea Logistics: Expanded network access, improved global connectivity, and strengthened capacity for regional flows
• Contract Logistics: A significantly larger warehousing footprint and broader fulfilment capabilities supporting multiple industry verticals
• Road Transport: A more integrated road network with greater capacity in JAFZA and DWC, enabling smoother domestic and cross-border distribution

With these combined strengths, Dubai becomes an even more powerful logistics hub for customers moving cargo in and out of the Gulf region, supported by a unified operational model that boosts speed, capacity, and flexibility.

"The DSV x Schenker integration significantly strengthens our presence in Dubai, doubling our warehousing footprint and broadening our capabilities across key industry verticals. For our customers, this translates into greater capacity, enhanced capabilities, and a more resilient, scalable platform to support their growth - enabling us to deliver faster, more flexible, and future-ready storage and fulfilment solutions."

"The integration of Schenker's operations into DSV in Dubai gives customers access to a more extensive logistics offering, with greater capacity in JAFZA and DWC and improved GCC connectivity. Overall, it enables more efficient end-to-end supply chain services across the UAE, the GCC, and the wider region."

Looking ahead

The completion of the Dubai go-live sets the foundation for a stronger, more integrated DSV presence in the UAE. With expanded capacity, deeper expertise, and a unified logistics network, DSV is positioned to support customers with reliable, flexible, and forward-thinking supply chain solutions across the Middle East. The strengthened platform reinforces Dubai's role as a key global logistics hub and enables DSV to deliver greater value to businesses across the region.
