CMA CGM to Acquire a c.48% Stake in Santos Brasil, Multi-terminal Operator



The CMA CGM Group, global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions, has announced the signing of a definitive and irrevocable agreement to acquire a c.48% stake in Santos Brasil Participações S/A (« Santos Brazil »), a prominent listed Brazilian multi-terminal operator, from funds managed by Opportunity. “I am pleased that the CMA CGM Group has concluded this strategic agreement for the acquisition of Santos Brasil, which operates five terminals in Brazil, including the largest container terminal in the Port of Santos, handling 40% of Brazilian volumes, as well as a logistics company. This significant investment reflects our commitment to strengthening our partnership with Brazil and supporting its growth in the coming years”, said Rodolphe Saadé, CEO of CMA CGM Group.
 
Santos Brasil manages a portfolio of 8 assets on the Brazilian coast, including 3 Container Terminals, 1 Vehicle Terminal, 1 Liquid Bulk Terminal and 3 Logistic Facilities.

The acquisition of Santos Brasil marks another significant milestone in CMA CGM’s global port development strategy, reinforcing its position as a leading global multi-user terminal operator with investments in approximately 60 terminals worldwide. CMA CGM intends to further develop its line calls in the various Brazilian terminals and further improve its offering to Brazilian exporters and importers, thereby responding to increasing demand and better addressing consumer needs.
 
The expansion potential of Tecon Santos terminal capacity and its operational excellence will be a useful support to enhance service quality. To meet global demand, CMA CGM intends to accelerate investments in Santos Brasil terminals, with an objective to increase the combined capacity in the coming years, in line with the commitments undertaken by Santos Brasil with port authorities. These strategic facilities will continue to operate as multi-user terminals under the leadership of the current management team and will continue to focus on improving the quality of their services to satisfy the expectations of their customers.
