Dubai: P&O Maritime, part of the DP World empire, has acquired a majority stake in Remolcadores de Puerto y Altura S.A. (Repasa), a Spanish operator of offshore support vessels for the energy industry, to form a new joint venture company under the P&O Maritime brand.
Headquartered in the Port of Tarragona, family-owned Repasa provides marine support services to the offshore energy industry through the operation of a modern fleet of twelve tugs.
