The value of the gross assets divested by DP World Limited is $27m. DP World said in a statement to the NASDAQ Dubai on the agreement in Yemen that "We are very satisfied with the agreement we have reached with the Yemeni parties including Yemen Gulf of Aden Ports Corporation (YGAPC). Our investment in the Aden facility was recognised by our joint venture partner, YGAPC, through the agreement reached today. The agreement reached protects the interests of DP World, its partners and the Yemeni parties who will run and operate a terminal boosted by two new Liebherr Super Post-Panamax quay cranes. We believe that the work we have started will go a long way in further supporting the facility's position."
