DP World also received 'The Container Terminal Operator Award' for 2006 at the awards ceremony, held in Dubai last night.

The lifetime achievement award, sponsored by the maritime and transport publisher, Lloyd's List, recognizes Mr. Bin Sulayem for the outstanding and lasting contributions he has made to the maritime industry, as well as for his vision and leadership of leading global marine terminal operator, DP World.

Accepting the award, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said,

'I am delighted to receive this Lifetime Achievement Award from Lloyd's List and members of the international maritime community. The last few years have been hugely exciting for DP World as we have grown from a regional to an international terminal operator. I would like to dedicate this award to management and staff around the world, whose invaluable contribution has allowed DP World to become a successful international terminal operator. In addition, their tireless commitment to customer service, enhancing global security and operational efficiency continues to position DP World as a leader in our industry.'

The Container Terminal Operator Award, sponsored by United Arab Shipping Co SAG, was presented to DP World in recognition of outstanding operational performance in an increasingly challenging environment.

Upon receiving the award, Mohammed Al Muallem, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, UAE Region, said, 'This is the second year that DP World has received this prestigious award which is testament to the hard work and professionalism of our people. Under the guidance of our Chairman who has also been honoured today, we will continue to break new ground in efficiency, security, and customer service levels.'

DP World is the largest marine terminal operator in the Middle East and Indian sub-continent, with operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and in nine locations in India, with a further two ports under construction in Kulpi and Vallarpardam.

The Lloyd's List awards recognize and honour those companies and individuals for their performance and conduct across the maritime industries. They reflect the growing influence of this region on the international maritime stage and recognize dynamism, commitment and above all outstanding performance.
