DP World has announced the launch of a new logistics corridor establishing a direct link between Brazil and several African markets, including Mozambique, in an initiative aimed at strengthening trade connectivity between Latin America and the African continent.
According to an official statement from DP World, the solution, called the Brazil-Africa Link, was unveiled during Intermodal South America 2026, held in São Paulo, and is based on an integrated model covering the entire logistics chain, from the port of origin to final delivery. The corridor connects export flows from the Port of Santos to the company’s operations in Angola and Mozambique, with additional support from a logistics network in South Africa.
According to DP World, this “one-stop shop” approach allows customers to manage the entire process through a single operator, combining maritime transport with land-based logistics solutions. The infrastructure includes access to three port terminals, 52 warehouses, and a fleet of over 4,250 vehicles, with the aim of increasing the efficiency, predictability, and reliability of supply chains.
The new corridor is designed to support key sectors of Brazilian exports, including animal proteins, agricultural products, and consumer goods, by facilitating access to growing African markets and reducing the operational complexity associated with intercontinental trade.
Quoted in the press release, DP World’s executive director in Brazil, Fabio Siccherino, stated that the initiative simplifies Brazilian exporters’ access to a market with high growth potential by integrating the entire logistics chain and reducing transportation uncertainties.
For his part, DP World’s executive director for Africa, Mohammed Akoojee, noted that the project represents a transformative step in connecting Latin America’s largest economy with African markets, emphasizing that the corridor leverages investments in port infrastructure, economic zones, and digital technology in countries such as Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa.
At the same time, the company continues to expand its logistics capacity in Brazil, with significant investments in the Port of Santos, including the expansion of the pier, the acquisition of new equipment, and the development of new terminals, thereby strengthening the operational base that supports this intercontinental connection.
