The port operator from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, owns DP World Santos <em>(picture above)<\/em>, one of the largest private port terminals in Brazil, which is located at the Port of Santos, state of S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n<p>The company has also released the results achieved at the Americas and Australia. Overall, it handled 4.1 million 20-foot containers, a 16.5% increase over 2017. Revenues from its operations grew by 26.1% reaching USD 961 million over USD 762 million last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarket conditions in the Australia and Americas region were mixed, with strong volume growth in Price Rupert (Canada), Callao (Peru) and Santos consolidation offset by weakness in Buenos Aires (Argentina),\u201d said DP World\u2019s report. Consolidation of Santos was mentioned among the reasons for the better results such as increased revenues and adjusted EBITDA.<\/p>\n<p>In general, the port operator had a significant performance last year. Revenues grew by 19.8% overall reaching USD 5.6 billion and profits grew by 10.2% to USD 1.2 billion. DP World stated the revenue growth was driven by the acquisition of Drydocks World and Dubai Maritime City, UAE, Cosmos Agencia Maritima, Peru, and Santos consolidation.<\/p>\n<p>DP World Group chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said the performance has been delivered in an uncertain trade environment. He stressed the acquisitions and stated new ones will be made in the future. \u201cCurrent year has started with trading in line with expectations and whilst the near-term outlook remains uncertain with the trade war and geopolitical headwinds, we expect our portfolio to remain resilient and see increased contributions from our recent acquisitions and investments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>DP World already owned shares of Santos terminal, but bought the remaining 66.67% shares from Odebrecht on late 2017, becoming its sole owner. Empresa Brasileira de Terminais Portu\u00e1rios (EMBRAPORT) started being called DP World Santos when the deal was closed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-210827\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global port operator from Dubai grew by 19.8% in revenue and mentioned its terminal in the Brazilian coast as a positive factor for this result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":210827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[38154,2257,1752,4088],"class_list":{"0":"post-210829","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-dp-world-en-2","9":"tag-dp-world","10":"tag-port-of-santos","11":"tag-santos"},"wps_subtitle":"Global port operator from Dubai grew by 19.8% in revenue and mentioned its terminal in the Brazilian coast as a positive factor for this result.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
