Oslo chooses Yilport as its terminal operator

The Port of Oslo signed a deal yesterday (Wednesday 15^th) to lease both its container terminals to Turkish terminal operator Yilport Holding for twenty years, with the option of a 10-year extension.

Port director Anne-Sigrid Hamran, who believes Yilport is the best choice to develop and operate the container terminal, said: “Yilport Holding was chosen because they share our goal of doubling cargo flows in order to serve Oslo’s growing population and boost the economy.”

Oslo handled 200,000 teu last year, 30% of Norway’s container volume and is the largest port in the country.
