Dubai, UAE 22 October 2012:- DP World Limited has reached agreement to divest its 25% shareholding in Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company (Russia). The purchaser is the existing 75% majority shareholder Global Ports Investments PLC.
DP World's minority ownership in Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company was a legacy investment with limited management involvement, therefore we have taken the opportunity to realise value by divesting our shareholding to our long-term partner.
The total consideration for our 25% shareholding is $230 million and the transaction is expected to close later this week.
