Global Ports Holding PLC and Mediterranean Shipping Co SA’s subsidiary SAS Shipping Agencies Services SARL on Tuesday announced that talks about a potential takeover of Global Ports by SAS have failed.

The three companies provided no reason.

‘The board of GPH is wholly committed to the successful execution of our long-term strategy to grow the business and create value for all shareholders while providing industry-leading investment and service levels at our cruise ports for the benefit of all stakeholders,’ said Global Ports Co-Founder, Chief Executive & Chair Mehmet Kutman.

Global Ports shares fell 17% to 94.10 pence each in London on Tuesday afternoon.
