GLOBAL PORTS INVESTMENTS PLC CFO COMMENTS ON BUSINESSENVIRONMENT AND GROUP OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Speaking at an investor conference today in London Oleg Novikov, CFO of Global Ports Investments PLC, the leading container terminal operator serving Russian cargo flows ("GPI" or "the Group") made the following comments regarding the current business environment and the Group's recent experience within that context.

"In spite of the economic challenges that have impacted world trade and economic activity as 2011 has progressed, Russian growth has continued at a pace that while not immune from the macro-economic trends, suggests that moving into 2012 the country will remain one of the brighter spots in the global economy."

"Against this backdrop, our own business has continued to progress broadly in line with the market with the Group's Russian Ports segment's Gross Container Throughput[1] for the third quarter amounting to 330thousand TEUs, a 29% increase compared to the same period in 2010. This compares with a 24% increase in Container Throughput in the Russian Federation Ports[2] during the same period."

"We continue to evolve our business in line with market developments. By way of example VEOS, the Group's oil products terminal, is on track with its development plan and we continue to diversify our client base and product mix. As expected, VEOS is showing a good level of resilience and we anticipate its key financial metrics during the current year to be slightly above the level reported in 2010."

"Notwithstanding the macroeconomic uncertainties anticipated in the short term we are continuing with our discretionary capital expenditure plans while the fundamentals of the underlying markets remain in place."
