DP World has deployed five electric internal transfer vehicles (eITVs) at Laem Chabang International Terminal (LCIT) in Thailand, marking a key step in its decarbonisation journey. The initiative supports the Port Authority of Thailand’s (PAT) Green Port Strategy, which seeks to transform Laem Chabang Port into a fully green port by 2030. According to DP World, the new eITVs are expected to cut carbon emissions by about 60% compared to diesel-powered units.

The company has set a target to fully electrify its ITV fleet by 2030, a move projected to reduce LCIT’s overall carbon footprint by 12% against 2022 levels. Alongside this, DP World is advancing solar power projects across the terminal, with installations underway at the Container Freight Station (CFS) warehouse and other critical areas.

Beyond environmental gains, the eITVs are designed to boost operational efficiency by speeding up container transfers between vessels and the yard, helping reduce vessel turnaround times and enhance terminal productivity.

In a related development, Drydocks World, part of the DP World Group, recently secured an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract from AMIGO LNG to build the world’s largest Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) liquefaction facility.
