The private equity consortium is reportedly seeking backing from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Singapore's GIC Pte. The next phase will commence soon after the evaluation of these offers. Potential bidders include logistics giants DSV, AP Moller-Maersk, and MSC. DSV's future involvement in the alliance IDS remains uncertain following the acquisition.
The sale of DB Schenker is expected to conclude soon, with the highest bidder set to acquire the world's largest freight carrier for over $16 billion. The identity of the buyer and the future of DSV's alliance with IDS will be revealed in the coming phases of the sale process.
