Additionally, EAGL has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire a 95% stake in Tanzania International Container Terminal Services Limited (TICTS) from Hutchison Port Holdings Limited for $39.5 million. TICTS, owning port handling equipment and manpower, will be Adani's operational arm at CT2. Karan Adani, Managing Director, APSEZ, expressed confidence in enhancing trade volumes and economic cooperation between ports and East Africa, aiming to transform Dar-es- Salaam Port into a world-class facility. This strategic move reaffirms APSEZ's commitment to global expansion and leadership in the port and logistics sector. (Source: ET Infra)
