Today, Steve had the fantastic opportunity to take part in an insight day at DP World Southampton. The event featured an informative presentation covering port operations — both current processes and future developments — with a strong focus on sustainability, which clearly plays a key role in DP World’s strategy going forward.

For Steve, the highlight of the day was experiencing the heart of the action: the vessels, cranes, containers, and straddle carriers. The port tour offered a fascinating look at shipside operations and allowed him to get up close to the impressive infrastructure.

Reflecting on the day, Steve said, “It was brilliant to meet so many freight forwarders, hauliers, importers, and exporters from the Southampton area, as well as to see the excellent facilities and modern offices at DP World Southampton. I remember the old SCT building — what an improvement!” He added, “I’m a real enthusiast when it comes to shipping, freight forwarding, supply chain, and logistics, so I’ll always jump at the chance for a port tour or ship visit.”

A big thank you to everyone at DP World Southampton for hosting such a valuable and insightful event.
