DP World has reported a 13.1% rise in revenue to $12.7 billion for the first half of 2026, underscoring the resilience of its global portfolio amid significant disruption to Middle East trade flows.

Growth across Logistics, Marine Services, and international Ports & Terminals offset weaker activity at Jebel Ali, where vessel traffic was temporarily reduced due to regional conflict. Excluding Jebel Ali, container volumes rose 6.5% on a like‑for‑like basis, with strong contributions from Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Americas.

Jebel Ali remains fully operational, with DP World implementing expanded inland connectivity to ensure the movement of critical cargo.

• Revenue: $12.7 billion (↑13.1% YoY)
• Gross throughput: 42.8m TEU (↓5.7%)
• Throughput excluding Jebel Ali: 39.7m TEU (↑6.5%)
• Adjusted EBITDA: $2.86 billion (↓5.6%)

DP World Chairman Essa Kazim highlighted the strength of the company’s integrated business model, noting ongoing investment in two new terminals in Fujairah under a 50‑year concession to extend the Jebel Ali ecosystem.

Group CEO Yuvraj Narayan emphasized disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiency, with $1.5 billion invested in H1 and a total of $3 billion planned for 2026 across the UAE, UK, India, Saudi Arabia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
