Scandlines Bidders

ShipPax has obtained a list of the companies that have submitted indicative bids for the Danish-German ferry operator Scandlines. Twelve of the 14 bidders are banks or private equity firms. Only two, Stena Line and Deutsche Seereederei (DSR), are ferry operators themselves.

Permira and Macquarie, which are both on the list, have previously invested in ferry operations: Permira in Italian operator GNV; Macquarie in Wightlink Ferries and The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. Observers say the presence of so many private equity firms is likely to result in a hefty price tag for Scandlines.
