The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec World, through its investment in DP World, has completed the purchase of Fraser Surrey Docks.
The closing of the deal, which was first announced last spring, means the Canadian marine terminal is now officially part of one of the world’s largest port operators.
“This new addition to DP World’s portfolio provides unique prospects for additional growth in the dynamic Canadian business environment,” said Matt Leech, chief executive officer and managing director of DP World Americas, in a press release. “We look forward to helping Fraser Surrey reach its full potential and generating greater value over the long term for DP World and its customers.”
