Container trucks and other commercial vehicles exiting from Jebel Ali’s free zone and port are set to benefit from the recent opening of a new inspection facility at the Main Gate 3.
The complex, which is spread over 88,906 square metres, has been designed to facilitate quicker movement of cargo-laden vehicles by bringing together various departments and clearing authorities, such as the DP World Documentation Section for issuance of electronic gate passes, Dubai Customs for inspection of goods and Dubai Municipality Food Control to check imported food items, before they are released into the local market.
An inauguration ceremony was held on 18th January to open the complex, attended by Mohammed Sharaf (CEO of DP World), Mohammed Al Muallem (SVP and managing director of DP World – UAE Region) and Talal Al Hashemi (managing director of EZW UAE Region).
“The improved and integrated clearance services established at the new Gate 3 Complex are designed to facilitate secure, reliable and increasingly fast movement of containers and other cargo through Jebel Ali Port,” commented Al Muallem.
“DP World, UAE Region is delighted to work in close cooperation with Dubai Customs and Dubai Municipality to ensure that our customers spend minimal time at the gate.”
The Gate 3 Complex provides parking space for 188 trucks and pick-up vehicles, including 30 inspection bays for container trucks, plus 28 inspection bays for pick-up vehicles used by Dubai Customs. There are also another 29 inspection bays for container trucks to be used by Dubai Municipality in a separate area within the complex.
A 3-storey building accommodates DP World, UAE Region and Dubai Customs offices, while a nearby 2-storey block provides 1,586 square metres of space for materials detained by Dubai Customs.
