Dubai – Mubasher: DP World on Thursday announced the completion of early integration with TradeLens, a blockchain-based digital container logistics platform, developed by A.P. Moller - Maersk and IBM, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

This partnership will contribute to accelerating the digitisation of global supply chains, DP World said in a statement on Thursday.
