Global Ports Global Ports Investments, a leading container and oil products terminal operator servicing Russia's growth

Our Business

Global Ports Investments PLC (“GPI”, “Global Ports”, the “Group”) is the leading container and oil products port operator in Russia and the Baltic region with a market share of 30%(1) of the total container throughput of Russian ports in the first three months of 2011 and with a 28%(2) market share of the former Soviet Union states’ fuel oil exports throughput generally in 2010. GPI’s terminals in the Baltic and Far East Basins are key gateways for Russian container imports and exports and Russian fuel oil exports. Substantially all of GPI’s container throughput represents origin and destination business.

The Group’s current leading market position was achieved through both rapid organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The Group currently controls annual container handling capacity of about 2.5 million(3) TEUs and handled 1.1 million(4) TEUs and 18.2 million tonnes of fuel oil in 2010.

GPI has entered into several partnerships with market leading industry players, including DP World, Royal Vopak and Container Finance, to utilize best practices in these fast growing markets.
