The
group said the sale of its inland depot facility in Novorossiisk,
with a capacity of 1,500 containers (TEU), and a chilled and
frozen warehouse in St. Petersburg had obtained regulatory
approvals in the European Union and Russia.
"We are pleased to have found a new owner of our two logistics
sites in Russia and thereby execute on our decision to divest
all our assets in the country," Chief Commercial Officer Karsten
Kildahl said in a statement.
IG Finance Development, a company registered in Cyprus, has made
an agreement with Arosa, a large food importer in Russia, to
operate the sites, Maersk said.
Maersk still needs to sell four tug boats under its Svitzer
brand, a process that is ongoing, a spokesperson told Reuters.
After that, Maersk will not have any business in Russia.
In August last year, Maersk sold a 30.75% stake in Russian port
operator Global Ports Investments to Russia's largest container
operator Delo Group.
