Global Ports ("the Group") is the leading container terminal operator serving Russian cargo flows as measured by container throughput, according to the Association of Sea Commercial Ports ("ASOP"). The Group’s main business is container handling. In addition, the Group handles a number of other types of cargo, including cars and other types of roll-on roll-off cargo, bulk cargoes and oil products.
The Group's 9 container terminals (including two inland facilities) are located in both the Baltic Sea and Far East Basins, key gateways for Russian container cargo. The Group's oil products terminal is located in the Baltic Sea Basin (Tallinn, Estonia), a major gateway for fuel oil exports from Russia and other CIS countries.
The Group believes that it has a number of key competitive advantages which have enabled it to become the leading container operator handling Russia's cargo flows.
