A.P. Moller Capital has agreed to acquire Portek International Pte. Ltd. from Mitsui & Co., Ltd., the maritime news site sources indicated on 16 October 2026.
A.P. Moller Capital is making the purchase through its A.P. Moller Capital – Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II, referred to in the report by its abbreviation EMIF II, and the agreement covers the acquisition of 100 per cent of Portek International. The announcement identifies the buyer by its fund vehicle and records the transaction as a complete transfer of ownership of the Singapore-registered company to the A.P. Moller Capital vehicle.
Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is named as the seller in the published account, with the deal signalled as the disposal of Mitsui's entire interest in Portek; the report presents the change of ownership as an agreement executed between the parties rather than as a conditional proposal. The summary supplied for verification states explicitly that the company being sold, Portek, is Singapore based and is active in cargo port operations as well as port-related engineering.
Portek is described in the report as a cargo ports operator and engineering business that holds interests in seven port terminals across Africa and Asia. That footprint is given in the source summary supplied for verification, which highlights the company's spread of terminal interests without enumerating individual terminal names or locations in the summary excerpt.
Deal particulars
The account published by reports on 16 October 2026 sets out the essential legal structure of the transaction, noting that the purchase will be effected by A.P. Moller Capital through its EMIF II fund and that the share transfer is for 100 per cent of Portek International Pte. Ltd. The following points supply the basic factual anchors drawn from the published summary:
- Buyer: A.P. Moller Capital, via A.P. Moller Capital – Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II (EMIF II).
- Seller: Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
- Target: Portek International Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based cargo ports operator and engineering business.
- Stake: 100 per cent of Portek International, according to the report.
Footprint and scope
The source material identifies Portek's commercial reach as comprising interests in seven port terminals located across Africa and Asia, describing the company as both an operator and an engineering business serving cargo ports, which suggests a combination of terminal management and technical capability within its portfolio. The brief supplied for verification does not list the individual terminals or provide further granular detail on their locations, ownership structures or operational models.
reports's item frames the transaction in purely transactional terms and centres on the transfer of Portek from Mitsui to A.P. Moller Capital's EMIF II vehicle; beyond the confirmation of the agreement and the description of Portek's business and terminal footprint, the verification summary supplied does not disclose further commercial terms, timetables or regulatory clearances. The published report therefore represents a factual record of the agreed sale as of 16 October 2026 and of Portek's stated profile in the summary provided.
The acquisition marks a direct change of ownership for a Singapore-based ports operator and engineering firm with a seven-terminal presence across Africa and Asia, and it places Portek under the ownership of an A.P. Moller Capital fund vehicle, according to the account supplied by reports on 16 October 2026. The report supplied for verification serves as the source for these core facts.
