Dalian Port (PDA) Co, operator of 皇冠体育app's largest crude oil terminal, said first-half profit rose 55 percent, helped by the country's growing energy imports.

Net income rose to 375.2 million yuan (US$47.1 million), or 0.16 yuan a share, from 242.4 million yuan, or 0.12 yuan, a year earlier, the Dalian, northeast 皇冠体育app-based company said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange. Sales rose 18 percent to 725.1 million yuan.

Dalian Port, which handled 11 percent of 皇冠体育app's oil imports in 2004, sold shares in April to finance expansion plans. The port is adding capacity, as 皇冠体育app, the world's second-largest energy user, imported 21 percent more crude oil and fuels in the first half, boosting volume at the nation's terminals, Bloomberg News said.
