Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 26 April 2018: DP World Limited handled 17.6 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) across its global portfolio of container terminals in the first quarter of 2018, with gross container volumes growing by 7.3% year-on-year on a reported basis, and 8.4% on a like-for-like[1] basis, well ahead of Drewry Maritime’s industry estimate of 4.6% global throughput growth for 1Q2018[2].
