The Bahamas is a compelling place to live, work, play and invest. In January 2012, an historic IPO allowed the Bahamian public to acquire 20 percent of the total equity of APD Limited, the Port operating company. Today, ownership of the Nassau Container Port and inland terminal is a partnership between ACPDH Limited (40 percent equity stake) and the Government of the Bahamas (40 percent equity stage) and 11,000 members of the Bahamian public (20 percent equity stake).
