Port operator DP World said revenues had grown by 20.4% to $11.2bn (£8.3bn) during the first half of 2025, with strong performances across its ports and terminals and logistics divisions.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.4% to $3bn (£2.2bn), while container volumes increased 5.6% on a like-for-like basis, reaching 45.4m TEU across its global portfolio.
DP World said its results across Europe, Africa and the Middle East were solid, with notable growth at London Gateway.
Profit before tax was $1.3bn (£784m), a 62.1% increase on H1 2024.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World Group chairman and chief executive, said: “We are pleased to report strong first-half results, with both revenue and EBITDA growing by over 20%.
“Ongoing geopolitical tensions, the continued closure of the Red Sea route, and rising uncertainty around global trade tariffs have caused significant disruption across the industry.
“Despite these challenges, our strategy of delivering integrated end-to-end solutions and operating critical infrastructure in key markets has allowed us to continue supporting cargo owners to move their freight and to deliver a strong set of results.”
The operator added that despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and continued pressure on key shipping corridors, it expected to deliver a strong full-year EBITDA performance and a strengthening balance sheet.
