In January 2017, DP World Limassol took over the management and operation of the Multipurpose Terminal at Limassol Port, which it aspires to make more productive and more sustainable, improving the port’s long-term prospects, leading to better support to the community through job creation and better services for the wider Cypriot business community. It aims to invest in all sectors of Limassol port, offering modern trade-enabling solutions and top-quality service in the areas of break-bulk, general cargo, Roll on-Roll off, and oil & gas services. DP World Limassol is dedicated to promoting the development of tourism in Cyprus and driving economic benefits for both the local and national economy. On May 3rd 2018, it inaugurated its brand-new cruise terminal, with the aim of enhancing Limassol’s position on the global cruise tourism map.
