Maersk group advances to the acquisition of South berth Of the Atlântico Sul Shipyard
APM Terminals, company owned by the Maersk group, presented this Tuesday 26/07 a R$ 455 million bid for the acquisition of an area adjacent to the South berth of the Atlântico Sul Shipyard (EAS) in Suape, Pernambuco. The auction took place throughout a judicial recovery by EAS, therefore the sale still needs to be validated by the Ipojuca Court. The closing of the transaction is also subject to regulatory approvals and licenses to install and operate equipment at EAS. Nevertheless, operations are expected to start by 2025. The shipyard´s management considers the arrival of this new player an important landmark for the state of Pernambuco, since it will lead to the implementation of new weekly and long range routes to Asia and Europe.
