Q2 and H1 2022 Operational Results
Global Ports Investments PLC ("Global Ports" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the "Group") (LSE ticker: GLPR) today announces its operational results for Q2 and H1 2022.
On the back of global and local geopolitical tensions and significant reduction of vessel calls of key shipping lines to the ports of Russia both Russian container market in the Baltic basin and Group's terminals located in the said region experienced severe decline in containers, cars and Ro-ro throughput in Q2 2022 while container throughput in Far East and at VSC, although negatively impacted by COVID19 restriction in China, remained more persistent. The detailed information is presented in the table below.
The market outlook for 2022 in the Baltic basin remains well below 2021, while Far Eastern market is expected to be more stable. In the Baltic region the Group is concentrating on the utilisation of its terminals with non-containerised cargo as well as on cost management initiatives while key focus at VSC is on operational efficiency on the back of growing demand on logistics chains via Far East.
