Global logistics company DP World and Latin American temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics provider Emergent Cold Latin America (Emergent LatAm) are partnering up to develop two temperature-controlled logistics facilities within DP World Logistics Parks in Latin America, according to official sources.
These developments will provide Emergent Cold LatAm and DP World customers with a fully integrated supply-chain solution, said the official sources.
The parties are also said to have committed to explore development activities in other DP World locations in Latin America to enhance their service offerings and further establish a cold-chain footprint.
The developments will reportedly be on two locations: DP World Caucedo in the Dominican Republic, and the Duran Logistics Center in Ecuador.
DP World Caucedo is a logistics hub and free trade zone located in Punta Caucedo, near the city of Santo Domingo.
Caucedo is said to be the newest modern port on the island, and a gateway for the Caribbean food trade.
Duran Logistics Center in Ecuador began operations in September 2020 as part of a large investment in this global trade market.
Ecuador’s main export commodities include shrimp and bananas.
