The international agribusiness company Trans-Oil Group (Trans-Oil) said that its Romanian subsidiary, Aragvi Sea Terminal SRL, has received all necessary approvals from the government of Romania and the Romanian Competition Council to finalize the acquisition of Frial SA, a port terminal operator active in the Port of Constanța.
Following a review conducted by the Commission for the Examination of Foreign Direct Investments (CEISD) and the Competition Council, the government of Romania issued the official decisions authorizing the investment.
In October 2024, Trans-Oil Group signed the share purchase agreement for the majority stake in Frial SA, a port infrastructure operator that owns two specialized terminals in the Port of Constanța; one for dry bulk and general cargo, and one for liquid products and vegetable oils.
Trans-Oil states that this transaction is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the Group’s presence in the Black Sea region, aiming to optimize the logistics chain for transportation, storage, and export of grains and oilseeds from Romania and the wider region.
