Dubai's DP World secures $4.94b in H1-2021 revenues on strong cargo volumes

Dubai: The Dubai owned ports operator DP World recorded revenues of $4.94 billion in the first six months, a gain of 21.3 per cent, while net profit for the period grew by an even more impressive 75.4 per cent to $585 million.


"This significant growth once again demonstrates that we are in the right locations and a focus on origin and destination cargo will continue to deliver the right balance between growth and resilience," said Sultan Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO, with DP World's gains built around on a rebound in global trade and higher consumer spend.


"Our recently announced acquisitions of Imperial Logistics and syncreon bring value-add capabilities in high growth verticals and markets, which will allow us to offer a more compelling set of supply chain solutions. By leveraging our infrastructure across inland logistics, ports and terminals, economic zones and marine logistics network, DP World aims to lower inefficiencies and provide improved connectivity in fast growing trade lanes such as Asia, Middle East and Africa."


Its India operations were again a main driver of growth, while those in Australia and the UK also helped with the first-half total. Cash from operating activities continues to be "strong" at $1.490 billion compared to $1.12 billion in first-half 2020.


The cargo throughput was up a substantial 13.9 per cent for the reporting period. For the second-half- DP World projects growth rates to moderate.)
