Summary

  • DP World said Tuesday it has entered exclusive talks for a long-term lease to operate a new container terminal at the Port of Corpus Christi in Texas.
  • The Dubai-based ports and logistics group would design and build the facility, making the project a greenfield U.S. terminal push rather than a takeover of an existing operation.
  • A deal would mark DP World's first effort to operate a U.S. container port in two decades, extending its footprint in a strategically important Gulf Coast gateway.
