From its core competency in marine terminals, DP World has made several recent acquisitions in logistics and shipping, including Imperial, a logistics provider serving Africa, and Unifeeder, a feeder container line, all in a bid to become a "leading end-to-end supply chain solutions provider." Singapore-based terminal operator PSA International's 2022 acquisition of forwarder BDP International was seen as "an opportunity to offer shippers a greater degree of control of their goods amid elevated geopolitical uncertainty and regulatory restrictions," as the Journal of Commerce wrote at the time. Oman-based logistics group Asyad emphasizes its control over ships, terminals, distribution center and other assets in being able to provide integrated solutions.
