DP World’s global portfolio volumes up 14% in 2010

Of these volumes, the UAE accounted for 11.6m teu, up 4% on 2009, with the 6.1m teu performance in the second half of 2010 witnessing a return to the peak levels of 2008.

Excluding the contribution of new terminal volumes in Qingdao, China and Callao, Peru both of which became operational in 2010, volume growth was driven by strong performance in Australia, America and the Asia Pacific Regions as well as the continuing return of volumes to the European region.

During 2010 and the early part of 2011, DP World added two major terminal capacities to its portfolio – the new terminal in Callao, Peru and the major expansion of its existing terminal in Port Qasim, Karachi.
