International logistics company DP World has announced its financial results for the first half of 2025, with both its revenue and container volumes rising.
In the report, DP World’s revenue is up about 20 per cent while container volumes have increased by 6.7 per cent.
Revenue grew by 20.4 per cent year-on-year to $11,244 million, driven by strong performance across ports and terminals and recent acquisitions.
The increase in container volumes has seen DP World’s total volume reach 45.4 million TEUs across its global portfolio.
“We are pleased to report strong first – half results, with both revenue and EBITDA growing by over 20 per cent,” DP World Group chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem says.
“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.”
DP World continues to invest in strategic growth markets, with $1.08 billion in capital expenditure during the first half of the year. The full-year capex target of $2.5 billion will support expansion in Jebel Ali Port, Drydocks World, Tuna Tekra (India), London Gateway (UK) and Dakar (Senegal), along with DP World Logistics and P&O Maritime Logistics.
These investments are focused on enhancing terminal capacity, supply chain integration, and digital capabilities to support long-term trade resilience.
Across terminals where DP World has operational control, the company handled 27.4 million TEU, an increase of 7.5 per cent year-on-year.
“This performance was underpinned by continued momentum in ports and terminals and marine services, supported by strong cash generation and a disciplined balance sheet,” group deputy CEO and CFO Yuvraj Narayan says.
“We remain well-positioned to fund strategic growth, maintain our credit strength and respond to evolving market conditions.”
DP World’s freight forwarding platform now spans approximately 300 locations and covers more than 90 per cent of global trade lanes.
“Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the medium-to long-term outlook for global trade and logistics. As supply chains evolve, DP World is well-positioned to lead the industry in delivering efficient, resilient and sustainable trade solutions that create long-term value,” Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem says.
