DP World Sells Stake

DP World, the world's third-largest port operator, sold its 25 percent stake in container terminal Vostochnaya Stevedoring to Russia's Global Ports Investment for $230 million, the Dubai-based firm said Monday.

Global Ports already holds 75 percent of Vostochnaya and will now take full control of the terminal after the sale.

The transaction is expected to close later this week, DP World said in a statement to Nasdaq Dubai.

Vostochnaya Stevedoring, based in the port of Vostochny, is the largest container terminal in the Far East and one of the key gateways for Russian container transportation, Global Ports said in a separate statement.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
