FTAI Infrastructure Announces Acquisition of Tidewater Logistics

NEW YORK, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (NASDAQ: FIP) (the “Company” or “FIP”) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of AP Shale Logistics ManagementCo LLC, doing business as Tidewater Logistics (“Tidewater”), a barge and rail transloading company with operations in Ohio, West Virginia, and Texas. The Company acquired Tidewater for a cash consideration of approximately $45 million, funded through an upsizing of FIP’s existing term loan with existing lenders.

Tidewater Logistics is an established transloading platform, highly complementary with FIP’s Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway, serving producers, shippers, and industrial customers across key shale and energy markets in the Appalachian Basin and Gulf Coast region. FIP expects Tidewater to generate $9 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the next twelve months, with additional upside from expanded customer relationships, increased throughput volumes, and integration with FIP’s broader rail platform.

“Tidewater Logistics is a natural fit for FIP’s growing infrastructure platform. Tidewater’s barge and rail transloading capabilities are highly complementary to our existing railroad assets, and we see meaningful opportunities to expand Tidewater’s customer base and throughput volumes across its network of strategically located facilities,” said Ken Nicholson, CEO of FIP. “We continue to pursue high-quality infrastructure businesses with defensible market positions, stable cash flows, and compelling growth prospects, and Tidewater checks each of those boxes.”

Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP served as legal counsel to the Company in connection with the acquisition.
