DP World joins hands with Team Aker Dæhlie as Official Logistics Partner to debut in cross-country skiing

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.

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 containerised trade, said a release.
