26 Jun Euroports welcomes new shareholders

Its over 3000 employees develop, operate and manage global maritime supply chain solutions for international clients across several industry sectors. Euroports handles more than 60 million tons of bulk, breakbulk, containerized and liquid products per year for industryleading companies with whom it has long-term relationships.

R-Logitech has a successful track record of managing ports and terminals on an international scale, with both PMV and FPIM bringing significant experience in managing critical infrastructure and companies like Euroports. All three new shareholders will be valuable partners to the business going forward, dedicated to developing the business further in Europe – and globally.
