DP World: 35,811k TEUs handled in H1 2019 (+0.5% yoy)

"In line with our expectations, we have delivered a broadly stable volume performance in the first half of 2019," Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO, DP World Group, commented.

He furthered, "Encouragingly, despite uncertainty from the trade war, we have seen robust volumes in Asia Pacific and Indian Subcontinent, while growth in Africa remains strong. In contrast, UAE [United Arab Emirates] and Australia volumes have been soft due to a loss of lower-margin cargo and challenging market conditions. However, we expect a more stable throughput performance in the UAE for the second half of the year."
