Grants 12 million euros to Baltic Container Terminal: Luminor provides financial support
Rolling With the Punches: Luminor Bank Pumps EUR 12 Million into Baltic Container Terminal
Get ready for a game-changer in the logistics sector, especially here in the Baltic region! Luminor Bank has dropped a cool EUR 12 million into one of Latvia's heavyweights, Baltic Container Terminal (BCT), stationed in Daugavgrīva's Freeport of Riga territory. Here's why this injection of greenbacks is no small potatoes.
"BCT is a titan in the logistics industry, casting a long shadow not just in Latvia, but across the Baltic scene. This funding is like pouring gasoline on a fire, fueling growth and development, while pumping up the region's competitive edge," says Ilze Zoltnere, Luminor Latvia's Corporate Banking head.
Born in 1996, BCT is Latvia's largest container terminal and one of the Baltic region's top distribution hubs. The terminal's work includes ship berthing, container loading and unloading, storage, warehouse services, and more.
According to Gerard Sammut, BCT's CEO, "BCT is all about quality. We can rightfully boast that we never rest on our laurels. With previous investments in cutting-edge terminal management systems, we've become the region's IT kingpin in the container handling game."
The windfall from Luminor will allow BCT to upgrade its handling capacity by acquiring new gear, as well as elevate the quality of its services, fortifying ties with business partners, and sparking future development. High-rolling partners like MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Yang Ming, Cosco, and OOCL have already jumped aboard BCT's ship, enjoying top-notch services and logistical solutions.
