The terminal operator DP World of Dubai Group closed the first half of 2011 with net income of $ 281 million on revenues of 1,502 million dollars, with increases of 36% and 3% on the first half of last year. These volumes of business and results include the contribution to the beginning of March the results of the Australian division of the group has sold to Citi and Logistics Qube ( of 22 December 2010 and 18 April 2011). The operating result amounted to 645 million dollars (+11%).
Recall that in the first six months of this year the port terminals of the Middle East have moved a total of 26.2 million containers, an increase of 11% in the first half of 2010 (of 26 July 2011). "Historically - said the DP World CEO Mohammed Sharaf - there has always been more activity in the second half of the year compared to the first half. However, as we anticipated in July, there is uncertainty about the global economic outlook, which makes it more difficult to forecast the development of world trade in the second half of the year. So far the impact of this uncertainty has not been felt in the markets where we operate and, given our focus on emerging markets more resilient, still expect to achieve results for the full year in line with expectations.
