Middle East logistics giant DP World's push to grow its presence in Fremantle via the acquisition of Silk Logistics has raised eyebrows at the nation's competition watchdog.
The $40 million-plus sale of the family-owned business marks the third major M&A deal involving a logistics company at Fremantle harbour in recent years.
Zenith Insurance Services, Dardanup Butchering Co, Austral Pool Solutions, Omni Dental and Forpark Australia were among numerous private WA companies to change hands late last year.
