Royal P&O Nedlloyd has taken full ownership of P&O Nedlloyd which has effectively become independently listed on the Euronext stock market in Amsterdam. This marks the closing of the rights offering and the completion of the acquisition by Royal Nedlloyd of P&O's 50 per cent stake in P&O Nedlloyd. It also is the renaming of Royal Nedlloyd NV as Royal P&O Nedlloyd NV, and the independent listing of P&O Nedlloyd through Royal P&O Nedlloyd. "I am delighted that we have achieved the listing of P&O Nedlloyd on Euronext today. It is the culmination of our plan to give P&O Nedlloyd the independent status it needs to grow and flourish," said Andrew Land, Chairman of Royal P&O Nedlloyd.
