A.P. Moller Capital to Take Control of Euroports
A.P. Moller Capital is set to become the majority owner of Euroports Group after agreeing to acquire a controlling stake through a separately managed fund. Existing shareholders SFPIM and PMV will remain invested, creating a consortium intended to support the company’s next phase of growth.
Euroports runs more than 50 deep-sea and inland terminals in 10 European countries and China. Its network handles over 70 million tonnes of bulk, breakbulk and liquid bulk cargo annually, covering products such as fertilisers, agricultural commodities, sugar, fruit, forest products, metals and minerals. The business employs approximately 3,000 people.
Infrastructure for non-containerised trade
The transaction places industrial infrastructure and supply-chain resilience at the centre of the ownership change. Euroports’ terminals support the movement of commodities needed by European food systems, manufacturing and other industrial sectors. For customers, the stated ambition is to combine the operator’s existing network with additional capacity, volumes and market coverage.
The group also owns and manages Manuport Logistics, an independent freight-forwarding business operating in more than 20 countries. Manuport will retain its own brand and continue with its existing growth plans within the broader Euroports platform.
Continuity alongside expansion
Management, governance arrangements and strategic direction are expected to remain in place. Shareholders say they will back plans to widen Euroports’ footprint, attract new customers and develop operations while maintaining service standards and a responsible approach to long-term value creation.
The investment follows A.P. Moller Capital’s earlier investment in Spanish port infrastructure and logistics company BERGÉ Logistics, extending its presence in European transport infrastructure. The fund’s industrial expertise and long-term approach are expected to complement Euroports’ operating platform.
Completion remains conditional on customary closing requirements, including regulatory and other third-party approvals.
