In January 2008,[1] DCG completed construction on a "Mega Cargo Terminal" capable of handling an additional 1.2 million tonnes per year.
DCG is the Middle East’s first cargo handling facility to be awarded an ISO 9002[3] certificate by Lloyd's Register of Quality Assurance in 1998.
As Dubai rapidly transformed itself into one of the world's key re-export hubs, DCGs terminals and sea-air cargo centre recorded consistent double-digit growth and the facilities expanded to meet demands.
This demand resulted from several factors combined: Dubai's phenomenal growth, the determined expansion of Emirates Airlines, increased popularity of air cargo transportation, and the UAE's central position on the world map.
The Mega Cargo Terminal features an express mail centre, new facilities for administrative and agents’ offices, a multi-storey car park, elevated roadway, a new central utility plant, a mosque, and other amenities.
