Providing commercial, technical and ESG due diligence for port terminal transaction

In 2021, Global Infrastructure Partners launched Terminal Investment Limited (TiL) re-financing, transferring its stake into a new continuation fund. TiL develops and manages over 40 container terminals on five continents, and it is a crucial asset to MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) to secure terminal capacity and network operations.

How we helped

Steer advised a major investor during the purchase phase and helped complete the transaction by providing commercial, technical and ESG (Environmental, Sustainability, Governance) due diligence services.

 Our work focused on the following:

  • providing the client with a comprehensive overview of the container terminal and shipping markets;
  • assessing TiL business plan with detailed analysis by terminal, including competition, concessions, traffic & revenue, and operational expenditures and performance;
  • assessing TiL CapEx plan; and
  • reviewing the TiL ESG policies and actions.

Successes and outcomes 

Steer dealt with the complexity of a significant port transaction focusing on multiple terminals/assets in diverse geographies. We provided the client with added value by, bringing into an overreaching assessment, detailed terminal analyses which factored in the local market and technical and operational conditions.

The transaction was successfully closed in late 2021.
