DP World says not yet been addressed in order to sell shares

Shipping News | August 27, 2009 | View Comments
  • Port operator DP World DPW.DI has never been approached to sell a stake to a private equity firm and any decision would be up to the company’s board,

    Chief Executive Mohammed Sharaf said on Thursday. “There is no update
    … we haven’t been approached by anybody,” he said in a conference
    call.   Parent company Dubai World said in May it was in talks to sell
    a stake in the port operator after it was approached by a regional
    private equity firm to sell a minority stake.  Selling a stake would be
    “something for the board of DP World to decide,” he said.   State-owned
    Dubai World is the majority shareholder in DP World.
