Aspo Charts Standalone Future for ESL Shipping with Partial Demerger Plan
Aspo's partial demerger will transfer its 78.6% stake in ESL Shipping to a newly formed Nasdaq Helsinki-listed company, ESL Shipping Group. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval on December 7 and would see trading start on or around January 4, 2027. ESL, which operates about 40 ice-class bulk carriers and is investing €186m in methanol-capable newbuilds, would be led by Mikki Koskinen as CEO.
