(MENAFN) DP World, one of Dubai World’s assets, said that it sold its 34 percent stake in Tilbury Container Services for USD75.48 million, reported Emirates 24/7.

The world’s third-largest port operator added that the stake was acquired by a subsidiary of Otter Ports Holdings Ltd, owner of Forth Ports Limited, adding that after the transaction, Tilbury became fully owned by Otter Port following a similar deal with its other owner, Associated British Ports.

The UAE firm also said that Tilbury is a deep-sea container services firm, and it’s considered a major shipping and distribution port access to London and the South East of England.

It is worth noting that recently, DP World inked a 3-year deal to run the Nanaimo port in Vancouver, Canada, including the general cargo Duke Point facility and Assembly Wharf.
