New Gate 3 complex opened at Jebel Ali Port

The new Gate 3 Complex, spread over 88,906 square metres, is designed to facilitate quicker movement of cargo-laden vehicles by bringing together various departments and clearing authorities, such as the DP World Documentation Section for issuance of electronic gate passes, Dubai Customs for inspection of goods and Dubai Municipality Food Control to check imported food items, before they are released into the local market.

The new-look Gate 3 Complex provides parking space for 188 trucks and pick-up vehicles, including 30 inspection bays for container trucks plus 28 inspection bays for pick-up vehicles used by Dubai Customs. There are also another 29 inspection bays for container trucks to be used by Dubai Municipality in a separate area within the complex.

A 3-storey building accommodates DP World, UAE Region and Dubai Customs offices, while a nearby 2-storey block provides 1,586 square metres of space for materials detained by Dubai Customs.

The Gate 3 Complex has two lanes for vehicles to enter the facility, and three exit lanes that lead directly to Dubai’s arterial road network in addition to one more exit lane for returning to Jebel Ali Free Zone.
