New fund, same old logistics obsession
TMV Logistics is rolling out a $200 million maritime and logistics fund, and it’s got some heavyweight name tags on it: American Bureau of Shipping and Prologis Ventures. That’s a pretty loud signal that the money crowd still thinks supply chains are where the action is.
Why Prologis matters here
Prologis is best known for owning industrial real estate — the giant boxes where your packages spend time before showing up at your door. But its venture arm, Prologis Ventures, keeps poking around the edges of the logistics ecosystem like a company trying to own the whole chessboard, not just the rook.
That makes this interesting for investors because it suggests Prologis wants exposure to more than rent checks. A fund like this can give it a front-row seat to shipping, maritime tech, and logistics infrastructure — basically the unglamorous stuff that quietly keeps the economy from face-planting.
Big picture
No, this isn’t a headline that screams instant revenue. But it does show where smart money still thinks the bottlenecks are, and Prologis is once again hanging around the places where goods, data, and cash all collide.
