DP World reported revenue of $12.7 billion for the first half of 2026, up 13.1% year-on-year, as its global network helped the company navigate significant disruption to trade flows in the Middle East.
Growth across Logistics, Marine Services and DP World’s international Ports and Terminals portfolio helped offset lower activity at Jebel Ali. Excluding Jebel Ali, container volumes increased 6.5% on a like-for-like basis, with growth across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.
Jebel Ali remains fully operational with no physical damage, although the regional conflict has temporarily reduced vessel traffic. DP World has implemented mitigation measures across its regional network, including expanded inland connectivity, to support the continued movement of critical cargo.
DP World plans to develop two new terminals in Fujairah under a 50-year concession, extending the Jebel Ali ecosystem and strengthening the resilience and flexibility of the UAE’s trade infrastructure.
The company invested $1.5 billion across its global portfolio during the first half and expects to invest approximately $3 billion in 2026, supporting new capacity and trade infrastructure in key growth markets including the UAE, UK, India, Saudi Arabia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
