DP World reaches key milestone in $800m Port of Tartous investment in Syria

Dubai: DP World has reached a significant milestone in its US$800 million investment programme to transform the Port of Tartous, completing the delivery of three Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHCs) that will strengthen Syria’s trade infrastructure and support the country’s economic recovery.

The three cranes are expected to increase the port’s cargo-handling capacity by approximately 40 per cent, Dubai Media Office announced on Monday.

The development comes as the Dubai-based ports and logistics company expands investment across its global network, despite disruption to trade flows in the Middle East.

DP World reported a 13.1 per cent increase in revenue to $12.7 billion in the first half of 2026, up from $11.2 billion during the same period last year.
