19 December 2025: Igneo Infrastructure Partners (Igneo), a global infrastructure investment manager which manages A$34.5 billion worth of assets,* has today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Strait Link, an Australian end-to-end supply chain logistics company.
Based in Tasmania and Victoria, Strait Link is the largest integrated freight logistics provider across the Bass Strait, linking Tasmania and mainland Australia. With long-term leases over strategic port terminals in Burnie and Melbourne and logistics depots across Tasmania, it has a 45% market share of the Bass Strait trade and is integral to the supply chain in the area.
Under the agreements entered into today, Igneo will acquire Strait Link from Allegro Funds. The transaction is subject to a number of customary conditions, including regulatory consents and is expected to settle in the first half of 2026.
Danny Latham, Head of Igneo Australia and New Zealand said, “Strait Link is a quality addition to our portfolio of assets across the region and aligns with our strategy to invest in a diversified portfolio of core-plus mid-market assets. As a leader in transport and logistics, Strait Link further diversifies our current regional portfolio of quality energy, waste and digital assets and provides the opportunity for long-term growth.”
“We look forward to working closely with the Strait Link management team to deliver a reliable and efficient service to Strait Link’s customers and forecast attractive long-term returns for our investors.”
Macquarie Capital acted as financial advisers to Igneo.
