"This acquisition reflects our confidence in the Danish market and our goal to expand our Scandinavia profile."

APMT is currently the majority shareholder in the JV, which is now operating as APM Terminals-Aarhus.

Aarhus Service chairman Søren Halsted said: "After a successful coownership of APM Terminals – Aarhus, it is pleasing for us to sell our shares to our business partner.

"This is the last part in the divestment of our port activities, and the sale marks the end to the Lehmann family’s involvement in the Danish transport industry, an involvement dating back to 1900."

In a separate announcement, APM Terminals Global Terminal Network is partnering with supply chain partners across the portfolio to ensure implementation of Solas weight certification requirements for export containers.
