Turkish shipping magnate Robert Yildirim is one of the most interesting men in box shipping circles, especially after his investment in CMA CGM effectively saved the French line from staring down the barrel of the bankruptcy gun. Now comes news that he is looking to sell a 20-30% stake in his terminal operating company Yilport, in addition to bids to operate facilities in Oslo, Thessaloniki and Montreal.
