Investing.com -- Royal Vopak (OTC:VOPKY) on Wednesday reported a 5% increase in second-quarter proportional EBITDA before exceptional items to €315.4 million, driven by growth projects and a one-off gain of €22.0 million related to PPT2 in Malaysia.

Proportional occupancy decreased by 1 percentage point to 92%, which the company described as resilient considering global tensions and geopolitical uncertainties.
Gas and industrial terminals, supported by long-term contracts, showed stable performance with higher throughputs.
