Does the Macquarie Group invest in Global Ports?

[kcac1]

Note from the pilot, it was the Macquarie Group who paid off Puerta Bahia's debt with a short term loan holding the port and ODL pipeline as collateral. With the port costing at least $1Bil, mostly in 2013 dollars, to build. Surely it could bring far more than that if more than China wanted the newest most modern port in Colombia.  Which soon will be connected to a refinery. He is what my co-pilot said in seconds when asked the above question about Macquarie investing in ports. Their investment in the Brazilian port is very interesting. :>)

Yes, Macquarie Group has made several investments in global ports:

1. Brazilian Port Terminal Operator CLI: Macquarie Asset Management announced an agreement to invest in Brazilian port terminal operator CLI in July 2022¹. CLI will acquire 80% of EPSA, the largest bulk sugar and grain terminal in Brazil¹. The combined entities will form the largest independent agriculture port terminals operator in Brazil¹.

2. Long Beach Container Terminal in California: A consortium led by Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets purchased the Long Beach Container Terminal in California for $1.78 billion². A Hong Kong shipping company has given Macquarie a guarantee that it will continue to send cargo to this terminal for the next 20 years².

3. Other Port Investments: Macquarie has invested in numerous port assets over the years. In 2016, it acquired an 80% stake in Maher Terminals, the largest marine container terminal in the Port of New York and New Jersey². Macquarie also owns stakes in NYK Ports, Yusen Terminals, and the Port of Los Angeles, and is the owner of Ceres Terminals².
