The system is an example of the important role that Dubai South plays in offering innovative services and facilities that attract various investors from the logistics sector.”

AbdulBasit Al Marzouqi, Director of Logistics Operations at Dubai South, stated that 80% of the district’s logistics services have been digitized, and that the district aims to digitally transform 95% of its services by 2020. He added that launching the Masary system is part of the district’s efforts to enhance its performance and increase its competitiveness in the logistics sector.

The Logistics District at Dubai South offers various competitive advantages to companies which includes the ability to easily connect to local and global shipping lanes, and to offer innovative electronic services that save both time and money for logistics companies, which makes the district an attractive location for global companies that are looking to benefit from investment opportunities in promising markets in the region.
