Pan Ocean debut
SOUTH Korean shipping company STX Pan Ocean has succeeded in its tender to operate Phase 3-1 container terminal at the country's Kwanyang port, writes Mike Grinter in Hong Kong.
STX Pan Ocean and its partner Daehan Trade will operate Phase 3-1 of Kwanyang port. When completed, at a cost of Won377bn ($375m), the development will comprise four berths with a handling capacity of 2.83m teu. The venture is STX Pan Ocean's debut in the business of terminal operating.
Historically a bulk operator, STX announced recently an ambitious expansion plan that would see the fleet grow from 270 owned and chartered vessels to 400.
South Korea's Hanjin Shipping and Singapore's PSA also bid for the project but were rejected in the final round.
JAPANESE group Marubeni Corp is paying $1.3bn to gain Pioneer Natural Resources' Gulf of Mexico assets, including equity in producing fields and discoveries, writes Martyn Wingrove .
