The company’s global terminal network helped offset significant disruption to trade flows in the Middle East.   Growth across the company’s Logistics, Marine Services and international Ports and Terminals portfolio helped counter lower activity at Jebel Ali. Excluding Jebel Ali, container volumes rose 6.5 per cent on a like-for-like basis, with gains recorded across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.   Jebel Ali remains fully operational with no physical damage, although regional conflict has temporarily reduced vessel traffic. DP World has introduced mitigation measures across its regional network, including expanded inland connectivity, to keep critical cargo moving.

H.E. EssaKazim, Group Chairman of DP World, said: “DP World delivered a strong revenue performance and resilient EBITDA in the first half of 2026, despite significant disruption to trade flows across the Middle East. Revenue increased 13.1 per cent to $12.7 billion, reflecting the strength and diversity of our global portfolio, the benefits of our integrated business model, and our ability to help cargo owners keep goods moving across international markets.

“In the UAE, we are expanding our gateway network with two new terminals in Fujairah, extending the Jebel Ali ecosystem through an integrated supply chain. This will provide cargo owners with greater flexibility, more choice and enhanced supply chain resilience, while reinforcing our confidence in the UAE’s future as a leading global trade and logistics hub.”   The two new Fujairah terminals will be developed under a 50-year concession, extending the Jebel Ali ecosystem and reinforcing the resilience of the UAE’s trade infrastructure.     Yuvraj Narayan, Group CEO of DP World, stated: “Excluding Jebel Ali, Container volumes increased by 6.5 per cent on a like-for-like basis, and adjusted EBITDA increased by 9.7 per cent, with growth across Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe. This performance reflects the strength of our global network and our ability to provide cargo owners with efficient end-to-end supply chain solutions.  “We continue to maintain a disciplined focus on capital allocation, cost management and operational efficiency. Combined with a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, this provides the flexibility to navigate uncertainty and continue creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.”   DP World invested $1.5 billion across its global portfolio in the first half and expects to invest approximately $3 billion over 2026, supporting new capacity and trade infrastructure in key growth markets including the UAE, UK, India, Saudi Arabia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.     Gross throughput excluding Jebel Ali reached 39.68 million TEUs, up 5.4 per cent YoY (6.5 per cent like-for-like), while group-wide gross throughput including Jebel Ali fell 5.7 per cent to this too: 42.82 million TEUs. Adjusted EBITDA declined 5.6 per cent to turn this into: $2.86 billion on a reported basis, down 8.3 per cent like-for-like.
