The CMA CGM Group and Stonepeak, an alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, announced the finalization of the formation of United Ports, following the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
In accordance with the agreement announced in January 2026, Stonepeak has completed a $2.4 billion investment to acquire a 25% stake in the new entity, while CMA CGM retains a 75% stake, as well as full operational control of the joint venture.
United Ports brings together nine major port terminals operated by CMA CGM in the United States, Brazil, Spain, Taiwan, and Vietnam, including Fenix Marine Services in Los Angeles, Port Liberty in New York and Bayonne, Santos, CSP Valencia and Bilbao, TTI Algeciras, Kaohsiung Terminal, and Gemalink.
This initial portfolio is expected to expand in the coming months with the addition of CMA CGM's stake in the Nhava Sheva Free Terminal, subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals.
As part of this joint port infrastructure initiative, CMA CGM and Stonepeak plan to accelerate the development and modernization of the terminals in their portfolio. This will include financing port capacity expansions, acquiring new cargo handling equipment, improving logistical connectivity with rail and land transport networks, as well as deploying infrastructure that supports the decarbonization of port operations, such as the electrification of equipment and shore power supply facilities.
Stonepeak will also be able to invest up to an additional $3.6 billion to seek new investment opportunities in high-growth port assets in partnership with CMA CGM through United Ports.
