World
(Mohammed Sharaf, CEO), a leading global marine terminal operator
of Dubai World group, handled 23.7m TEUs (+16%)
across its portfolio of 50 operating terminals during the 1st
6 months of 2010. The total volumes of the company’s 28
under IFRS, consolidated terminals increased by
7% to 13.2m TEUs.
The volume growth
is largely driven by its terminals in Asia, in
Australia and the recovery of some volumes across European
ports. The encouraging start to the year in the UAE region
has continued during the 2nd Q. The volumes increased
by 3% to 5.5m TEU.
