DP World reported revenues of 12.7 billion dollars in the first half of 2026, recording an increase of 13.1% year on year.
Growth in logistics, marine services and DP World’s international portfolio of ports and terminals helped offset lower activity at Jebel Ali. Excluding Jebel Ali, container volumes rose by 6.5% on a like-for-like basis, with broad-based growth across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas.
Jebel Ali remains fully operational and has no structural damage, although the regional conflict has temporarily reduced shipping traffic. DP World has implemented mitigation measures across its regional network, including expanding internal connections, to support the continued movement of critical goods.
“DP World achieved solid revenue performance and resilient EBITDA in the first half of 2026, despite significant disruptions to trade flows across the Middle East,” said DP World Group Chairman, H.E. Essa Kazim.
“Revenues increased by 13.1% to 12.7 billion dollars, 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 in international markets.”
The company invested 1.5 billion dollars in its global portfolio during the first half and expects to invest around 3 billion dollars in 2026, supporting new capacity and commercial infrastructure in key growth markets, including the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, India, Saudi Arabia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Despite continued short-term uncertainty, DP World remains positive about the medium- and long-term prospects for global trade, supported by its diversified global network and growing integrated logistics business.
