South American markets and their emerging economies are giving logistics companies growth opportunities through near-shoring, free-trade zones and rising bulk-export demand. In this Talking Transports podcast, Morten Johansen, DP World Americas’ executive vice president and chief operating officer, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to discuss how the company is positioned to benefit as an end-to-end logistics provider in the region. Many ports in South America are operating at high utilization rates, which could accelerate automation and expansion initiatives. Johansen also talks about expansion opportunities in the Dominican Republic and Brazil, building out its freight-forwarding and contract logistics businesses and how 2026 might shape up.
