APM Terminals Expands Presence in Latin America
6 February 2012
Panama City, Panama – Joe Nielsen, the former CFO for APM Terminals’ activities in
the Americas Region has been named Managing Director, Latin American Terminals, as
the high-growth markets of Latin America continue to be a focus area of the company’s
investment planning.
Latin American container trade has been projected by Drewry Maritime Research to
expand by 6.5% this year. APM Terminals is committed to participate in the
modernization of infrastructure in Latin America to support this growth: “With over 550
million people and significant growth in seaborne trade, Latin America has unmet
demand for access to the global logistics chain”, said APM Terminals CEO Kim Fejfer,
adding “APM Terminals will pursue opportunities to facilitate trade and support economic
growth”.
