Dubai’s DP World reports USD310m profit in H1

29 Aug 2012

(MENAFN) Dubai-based port operator DP World reported a weak 1.5 percent increase in half-yearly profit, on lower cargo traffic due to the global economy downturn, CBS News reported.

The company said it made a pre-tax profit of USD310 million during the first six months of 2012, slightly up from USD306 million a year earlier.

Gross container volumes rose by 7.5 percent in the period, driven by higher traffic in the Asia-Pacific region.

The company also reported a 10 percent increase in revenue to USD1.53 billion during the first half, compared to a year earlier.

DP World is the world’s third largest seaport operator, with a heavy emphasis on fast-growing markets in the developing world.
