Abu Dhabi Ports Group has agreed to acquire a 70% stake in International Associated Cargo Carrier (IACC) for US$140 million (AED514 million).
The company will use its cash reserves to fund the deal, which stood at $816 million (AED3 billion) at the end of March.
IACC owns a 200,000 sqm terminal near King Abdulaziz Seaport and provides container related services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Its container services include maintenance and repairs as well as cleaning and tarpaulin securing.
The company also provides transportation, yard and warehouse services.
IACC is also the owner of two Egyptian shipping companies, Transmar International Shipping and Transcargo International (TCI).
Transmar and TCI have collectively generated $88.4 million (AED325 million) in revenue over the past 12 months. Their consolidated EBITDA for the same period was US$29.3 million (AED108 million).
Falah Mohammed Al Ahbabi, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Ports Group, said: “This acquisition will support our broader growth goals in North Africa and the Gulf and expand the portfolio of services we can offer in these markets.”
Abu Dhabi Ports manages the deep-water Khalifa Port in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, as well as other port and logistics parks. It also operates the Indian Ocean port of Fujairah.
In February last year, Saab signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Abu Dhabi Ports develop Vessel traffic management and port monitoring solutions.
