Syria's Port of Tartous has seen a significant milestone in its USD 800 million modernization project, with the delivery of three Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHCs). This move by DP World is expected to increase the port's cargo-handling capacity by approximately 40%, leading to faster vessel turnaround, improved operational efficiency, and the ability to handle a greater variety of cargo types.
The investment is part of a broader strategy to bolster Syria's trade infrastructure, enhance supply chain resilience, and lay the groundwork for sustained economic growth. These cranes are just the first phase of a long-term plan that includes dredging works for larger vessels, quay wall refurbishments, deployment of additional equipment, digital technologies, and workforce development.
Both Fahad Al Banna, Chief Executive Officer of DP World Tartous, and Mohammad Shihab, Executive Vice President of DP World for the Levant region, emphasized the long-term commitment to Syria's economic recovery and the port's strategic importance as a trade and logistics gateway in the region.
