Dubai's DP World has appointed chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem as permanent chief executive with immediate effect, the port operator said on Monday, two weeks after he took interim charge following the retirement of the former CEO.

Sulayem will hold both roles simultaneously, DP World said in a bourse statement.

On Jan. 27, the company announced long-serving chief executive Mohammed Sharaf had retired.
