|August 15, 2025
DP World on Thursday announced strong financial and operational results for the first half of 2025, underlining the resilience of its integrated global trade platform amid ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
-

Revenue grew by 20.4% year-on-year to $11,244 million, driven by strong performance across Ports & Terminals and recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA rose 21.4% to $3,033 million, while container volumes increased 5.6% on a like-for-like basis, reaching 45.4 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) across the global portfolio.
Commenting on the results, DP World Group Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, 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.”
