SEOUL, Nov 25 (Reuters) – South Korea’s Hyundai Merchant Marine Co Ltd (HMM) said on Friday it was chosen as preferred bidder to buy a port terminal in Algeciras, Spain, partly owned by Hanjin Shipping Co Ltd.
HMM said in a statement it is expected to finalise its purchase of a 100 percent stake in Total Terminal International Algeciras in late December from the current owners, including IBK Securities Co Ltd, without elaborating on price or other sales terms.
