MPC Capital completes EUR 70 million fundraising for its Offshore Service Vessel platform with Eurazeo as lead investor

• Equity fundraising is led by the European investment group Eurazeo and a European family office.

Hamburg/Paris, 18 February 2025 – The investment and asset manager MPC Capital (Deutsche Börse, ISIN DE000A1TNWJ4) announces that Eurazeo and a large European family office are investing in MPC Capital’s recently launched platform for Offshore Service Vessels.
