陶氏将6.2亿美元出售美国墨西哥湾沿岸海运和终端业务

据世界石油2020年9月15日休斯敦报道，陶氏化学公司日前已同意将部分美国墨西哥湾沿岸海运和终端业务以6.2亿美元价格出售给一个由荷兰皇家孚宝集团和贝莱德全球能源及电力基础设施基金共同拥有的合资企业孚宝工业基础设施美国公司。

陶氏表示，与孚宝工业基础设施美国公司的交易包括海运和仓储终端业务，以及陶氏在路易斯安那州普拉奎明、圣查尔斯和得克萨斯州自由港等地的资产。

陶氏预计，在获得美国和欧盟监管机构批准以后，这笔交易将在今年第4季度完成。

陶氏还表示，正在评估其全球投资组合中没有营收产生资产的所有权。

高盛集团担任陶氏化学公司此次资产出售的财务顾问，梅耶尔?布朗提供法律支持。

Dow to sell U.S. Gulf Coast marine, terminal operations for $620 million

Dow Inc has agreed to divest some of its U.S. Gulf Coast marine and terminal operations to a joint venture owned by Royal Vopak and BlackRock's Global Energy & Power Infrastructure Fund for $620 million.

The deal with Vopak Industrial Infrastructure Americas includes marine and storage terminal operations and assets at Dow’s sites in Plaquemine and St. Charles, Louisiana, and Freeport, Texas, the company said.

Dow expects the deal to close in the fourth quarter, following regulatory approvals from the United States and the European Union.

In July, Dow agreed to sell its rail infrastructure assets at six North American sites to transportation service firm Watco Companies LLC for about $310 million.

In its earnings report in July, Dow laid out cost-cutting plans to cope with the fallout of the coronavirus epidemic, adding that it was taking other actions to exit non-competitive assets.

The company also said it was evaluating its ownership of non-revenue generating assets across its global portfolio.

Goldman Sachs acted as a financial advisor to Dow and Mayer Brown provided legal support.
