Logistics giant UPS has announced the completion of a series of multi-modal deliveries for Expo 2020 Dubai’s entry portals in the run-up to next year’s official opening.
UPS, the official logistics partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, choreographed multiple shipments from Germany through Belgium’s Port of Antwerp and into Dubai’s major commercial port in Jebel Ali, state news agency WAM reported.
"These extraordinary entry portals will welcome 25 million visits - equal to the population of Australia - and, likewise the logistics required for these shipments, is nothing short of monumental," said Nando Cesarone, president of UPS International.
"Whether it’s delivering a 21 metre entry way or a small package for an international visitor at the Expo 2020 site, our world-class logistics are made possible by a dedicated team that will grow to up to 600 for this global undertaking," he added.
The 21 x 30 metre carbon-fibre structures were placed at the three main entrances to the site and will transform the skyline of the Expo 2020 site .
Sanjive Khosla, Expo 2020 Dubai’s chief commercial officer, said: "Transporting the iconic entry portals to our fast-developing site in Dubai was a major organisational and logistical challenge but as ever... UPS delivered without a hitch."
