Royal Boskalis has signed an agreement to acquire all remaining shares (fifty per cent) in Smit Lamnalco. Smit Lamnalco offers terminal services and had an annual revenue of approximately USD 275 million and EBITDA of USD 100 million in 2023.
Smit Lamnalco started operations in 1963. Boskalis already holds a fifty per cent stake in the company, which it has held since its inception, with the remaining shares held by The Rezayat Group, a Saudi/Kuwaiti owned conglomerate. Back in 2021, Boskalis said it was reveiwing its position as shareholder in Smit Lamnalco, with The Rezayat Group doing the same, but nothing really came of it.
The transaction is subject to customary conditions including the approval of regulatory authorities.
