From 1 October 2025, every loaded container arriving through DP World’s UK ports will receive 250kg CO2e worth of Carbon Inset Credits—five times higher than the previous 50kg CO2e allocation.
DP World is set to significantly scale up its Carbon Inset Programme in the UK, offering importers greater opportunities to cut Scope 3 emissions. Since its launch in January 2025, more than 200,000 TEU have been registered under the scheme.
From 1 October 2025, every loaded container arriving through DP World’s UK ports will receive 250kg CO2e worth of Carbon Inset Credits—five times higher than the previous 50kg CO2e allocation. The credits now account for emissions from the full port call, including containership manoeuvring and tug and pilot boat operations along the final nautical mile at London Gateway and Southampton. The expansion is supported by DP World’s subsidiary Unifeeder and marine services provider Svitzer, both of which have transitioned to lower-carbon fuels across their Northern European networks. Separately, DP World has bolstered its automotive logistics capabilities at Jebel Ali Port with the opening of a new 2.6 million sq. ft. vehicle storage yard at Terminal 4 to meet rising global demand.
