DP World Jebel Ali won Best Seaport in the Middle East for the 14th consecutive year, while DP World's Asia Container Terminal Ltd (ACT) in Hong Kong won the Best Container Terminal - Asia under 4m TEUs per annum award for the first time. Last year DP World's Container Terminal 3 (CT3), Hong Kong collected the award.
