On March 9, 2007, the TUI Group completed the sale of an 80 per cent stake in its Canadian container terminal activities of the Montreal Gateway Terminals reported to be $460 million, which had been acquired in TUI's takeover of CP Ships. The buyer is Morgan Stanley's infrastructure investment group, part of the firm's investment management division. In addition to the retained 20 per cent stake, TUI's subsidiary, Hapag-Lloyd, remains a major client of the terminal through a long-term contract.
