DP World acquires Unifeeder

DP World has acquired Danish feeder and short-sea operator Unifeeder from Nordic Capital Fund VIII and minority shareholders for €660m (US$765m).

Based in Aarhus, Denmark, Unifeeder operates feeder services and short-sea networks across Europe, serving both deep-sea container hubs and the intra-Europe container freight market.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, group chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “The ever-growing deployment of ultra-large container vessels has made high-quality connectivity from hub terminals crucial for our customers. Our aim is to leverage on the in-house expertise of Unifeeder and to accelerate growth in this scalable platform to deliver value for all stakeholders.”
