The new container terminal at EastPort UK is operated by PSA International in a joint venture with International Port Holdings (owners of GYPC who trade as EastPort UK).
PSA International is one of the leading global port groups. With its flagship operations in PSA Singapore Terminals and PSA HNN, PSA participates in 28 port projects in 16 countries across Asia, Europe and the Americas, with a global capacity of 111 million TEUs over 66 km of quay length.
International Port Holdings was formed by Alistair Baillie (previously Chief Operating Officer of P&O’s international port division) and Eliza O’Toole (whose city legal career was major infrastructure, strategic project and regeneration focused). IPH’s strategy is to purchase and invest in port operating assets on a global basis with strong growth prospects, and in some cases, potential for development.
