DP World enters Nordic winter sports with new logistics partnership supporting one of world’s most progressive ski teams.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global smart logistics leader DP World is entering Nordic winter sports through a new partnership with Team Aker Dæhlie, one of the most innovative and progressive ski teams in the world. The collaboration brings together two organisations built on high-performance, movement and pushing human potential further through competition.

The partnership marks DP World’s debut in cross-country skiing and builds on its long-standing relationship with Aker Solutions, the parent company of Team Aker Dæhlie, through their joint venture with Drydocks World, part of the DP World Group. It also strengthens DP World’s global sports strategy, which already spans the DP World Tour, Ryder Cup, McLaren F1, International Cricket Council and SailGP.

As the Official Logistics Partner, DP World will support the team’s operations, including travel planning, equipment movement and race-week logistics insights. DP World’s branding will feature on Team Aker Dæhlie’s race kit and equipment throughout the season. The agreement also opens opportunities for commercial introductions across the wider Aker network and co-promoted business events and forums.

“This partnership with Team Aker Dæhlie connects our global business with a team that shares our ambition to change what’s possible,” said Daniel Van Otterdijk, Group Chief Communications Officer, DP World. “Our philosophy is about pushing past barriers and opening pathways and creating opportunity for male and female athletes, able-bodies and para-athletes. With DP World’s global logistics expertise and support, our athletes can focus on performance where it matters on the snow. We look forward to exploring performance, movement and possibility together.”

“We’re delighted to welcome DP World as our Official Logistics Partner,” said Jarle Wermskog, General Manager, Team Aker Dæhlie. “Team Aker Dæhlie is the first private team competing at the highest level that includes athletes from Ski Classics, FIS/All-Round, Paralympic cross-country skiing, and younger age groups. Our philosophy of Beyond is about giving people the chance to push past barriers, male and female athletes, able-bodied and Para-athletes, and chase dreams that once felt out of reach. With DP World’s support and global knowledge of movement and logistics, we can help our athletes focus on what they do best on the snow.”

Founded in 2022 through Aker ASA and Dæhlie Sportswear, Team Aker Dæhlie pioneers a new model for professional skiing that connects elite performance with purpose-driven collaboration and long-term sustainability. Headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, DP World operates across more than 75 countries, enabling over 10% of global containerized trade.
