DP World will spend Dh11bn to lift capacity


DP World plans to spend nearly US$3 billion (Dh11.01bn) this year and next on extending terminal capacity as the ports operator seeks to tap new markets and cater to larger ships.

The Dubai-based company yesterday posted a 21 per cent rise in profits last year to $555 million, up from $459m a year earlier. DP World made $249m from asset sales in Australia, Europe and the Middle East.

Part of the cash will be recycled into 11 new developments and expansion projects as it focuses its strength on fast-growing markets.
