Dubai - Dubai Exports, the export promotion agency of the Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai, and RSA Logistics DWC LLC, an integrated third party logistics (3PL) provider based in Dubai World Central, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide varied services and initiatives for accelerated trade and exports through Dubai.

The MoU aims to leverage Dubai's position as the leading export and re-export hub in the region to build on the growing capabilities of UAE companies in diverse sectors. The partnership will allow UAE export firms to use the muti-modal and integrated logistics facilities at Dubai World Central and ensure convenient access to strategic markets overseas.

The partnership falls under the 'Partner Export Services' package of Dubai Exports intended to create partnerships that ensure member exporters receive the most comprehensive support and guidance when either setting up or expanding their export operations. The Partner Export Services are provided to exporters exclusively based on mutual agreements with such partners.

From in-depth market intelligence and value added concessions during the exporting process to on-the-ground assistance in overseas markets, the Partner Export Services provides essential elements that drive a successful export business. Dubai Exports members and exporters can avail of these services through a dedicated Account Manager.

"As the government body facilitating and promoting trade in Dubai, we are constantly seeking ways of providing value added third party services, such as Credit insurance, Finance and Product Certification to our exporters.  This has yielded several benefits to the exporters for many years now and we look forward to achieving greater successes with our new partner in the 3rd party logistics arena," commented Engineer Saed Al Awadi, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Exports.

Abhishek Ajay Shah, Managing Director RSA Logistics said: "We are extremely proud to be associated with Dubai Exports, which creates another milestone for RSA Logistics. Partnering with Dubai Exports as their local strategic partner reinforces our focused growth towards value added services to both manufacturers and traders seeking 3PL logistics services from the UAE and beyond."

Together, Dubai Exports and RSA Logistics will support UAE companies to be part of the fast and efficient supply chains connecting through Dubai World Central, located adjacent to the Jebel Ali port and free zone as well as Al Maktoum International, Dubai's upcoming aviation hub.
