DP World achieved a growth in the volume of container handling by 9.4% in 2021, despite the slowdown in growth in the last quarter of the year, which was expected due to the repercussions of Covid-19, inflation and supply chain problems.
According to Arab Net, DP World, a subsidiary of the Emirate of Dubai, said that the number of containers it handled reached 77.9 million containers in all its markets in the Asia Pacific region, India, the Americas region and Australia, and the two regions recorded a growth of more than 10%.
The company's president, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, said that 2022 had an encouraging start, and that the company's portfolio was expected to continue to grow.
But he also said that the pandemic, continued global supply chain disruptions, high inflation and uncertain geopolitical factors may continue to impede the global economic recovery.
