Poland's Ministry of State Treasury, the owner of Port of Gdańsk Cargo Logistic (PGE) did not allow Mariner, Malta's developer and operator of sea terminals, to buy the port's shares, Puls Biznesu reported. The ministry has not revealed the reasons for its decision.
The consortium of two Polish firms, rail cargo operator PKP Cargo and Węgokoks coal trading company, was late its offer to the Ministry last year. The consortium made its offer after the deadline which might have influenced the decision-making process, according to the daily.
"We have made a very good offer jointly with Węglokoks, which guarantees PGE its dynamic development," Mirosław Kruk PKP Cargo spokesman said.
Thus far, there has been no decision whether the ministry will launch a new tender or begin talks with the consortium.
Mariner operates such terminals as Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Latvia, Terminal Intermodale Venezia (TIV) in Italy and Durres Container Terminal (DCT) in Albania.
