The government-controlled company, which is already listed on the Nasdaq Dubai, is now the first company from the Middle East to join the FTSE 100.
Despite the company not raising any new capital as part of the listing, it said: "The aim is to provide an additional platform to invest in DP World shares to help attract a broader range of investors."
DP World shares will continue to trade under DP World's existing listing on Nasdaq Dubai with its shares being fully interchangeable across both exchanges.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of DP World, described the day as a "milestone".
"DP World is the only listed global port operator and we are delighted to be listed on the LSE offering more investors the opportunity to invest in our unique company," he said.
