Wilhelmsen Port Services has completed its acquisition of Vopak Agencies, which was first announced on 13 October 2022.
Vopak Agencies, which has now become a Wilhelmsen group company, is highly complementary and a perfect match for the global reach of Wilhelmsen Port Services’ maritime network of 2,200 ports.
Vopak Agencies
Vopak Agencies is a specialist within both hub services and port agency in the tanker segments in Europe and has extensive experience within their field. As part of the transaction, Wilhelmsen has also acquired 50% of diize, a Vopak developed digital software company aimed at the future of port orchestration.
One of the pillars of Wilhelmsen Port Services’ recently launched growth strategy is to be a leading partner in port, in the markets it serves and the acquisition of Vopak Agencies and its position as a tanker specialist in North-West Europe is a perfect fit.
