Canarias quiere hacer de Naviera Armas la Binter marítima

🛥 Fernando Clavijo, president of the Canary Islands, announced a potential multimillion-dollar investment by the regional government and local entrepreneurs into Naviera Armas. The shipping company is currently mainly owned by investment funds led by JP Morgan, with the Armas family holding only 6%. This move aims to bolster the strategic maritime transport essential for the Canary Islands' economic development, with particular focus on improving connections for La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. The intention to sell Naviera Armas by investment funds was publicized a year ago, with Balearia expressing interest, but no deal was finalized.
