DP World soars as Simatech re-connects Jebel Ali port with Somalia

  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, March 12 - 2013 at 15:14

The FTSE NASDAQ Dubai UAE 20 Index advanced 0.26% Tuesday to reach 2,220.76 points. DP World edged up 0.70%, closing at $13.19. Earlier in the day, the world's 3rd biggest maritime port operator said it welcomed shipping line Simatech's new service between Jebel Ali Port and Mogadishu as a significant step in re-establishing trade links between post-war Somalia and the rest of the world. "Container trade to Mogadishu was suspended some years ago due to the political situation in Somalia and the risk of piracy," said DPW. The newly commenced container service will provide customers with safe and faster cargo movement including faster transit times. Container ships will be handled at Mogadishu port. Simatech, founded in 1992, is a UAE shipping line operating in the Mideast, India and the Far East.
