3i Infrastructure plc completes the sale of Oystercatcher's four European terminals

3i Infrastructure plc ("3i Infrastructure") completed the sale of its 45% stakes in four European liquid storage terminals on 29 October after receiving certain third-party consents.

The four terminals are Oiltanking Amsterdam B.V., Oiltanking Ghent N.V., Oiltanking Malta Limited and Oiltanking Terneuzen B.V., which collectively provide 3.8 million cubic metres of liquid storage capacity and associated services to a diverse range of customers. 

After finalising debt repayment costs, the proceeds to the Company will now be c.€55 million, which is higher than the previously announced estimate of €50 million.

3i Infrastructure will retain its 45% stake in Oiltanking Singapore Limited, alongside Oiltanking's 55% stake.
