COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited reported a 28.5% year-on-year increase in profit attributable to equity holders to US$233.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2026. Revenue rose 12.3% to US$905.3 million, gross profit increased 9.3% to US$239.5 million and total throughput rose 7.9% to 80,157,047 TEU, or twenty-foot equivalent units, a standard measure of container volumes. Equity throughput, representing the Group's share of volumes based on its ownership interests, increased 7.0% to 24,492,008 TEU. The Company declared a first interim dividend of US2.360 cents per share. Overseas throughput grew 18.0%, while China throughput increased 4.7%. Performance was mixed across individual terminals: CSP Chancay Terminal throughput surged 68.2%, while CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal fell 44.3% amid Middle East geopolitical tensions and Piraeus Terminal declined 2.9% because of softer Mediterranean demand and adverse weather. COSCO SHIPPING Ports said it would strengthen its global terminal network, expand in emerging and third-country markets, improve mainline and feeder connections, develop port-side logistics and supply-chain services, deepen automation and artificial-intelligence applications, and advance green and low-carbon operations. The company said global growth forecasts had been lowered by the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, but cited China's resilient trade and stronger exchanges with emerging markets as support for the port industry.
