CEO: RDIF considering purchase of stake in TransContainer

MOSCOW, Feb 15 (PRIME) -- The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) is considering acquisition of a stake in container shipping company TransContainer and is ready to discuss many investment options, CEO Kirill Dmitriev told reporters on Thursday.

“We are studying it, we understand that there will be competition for the stake. This is why we are open for various kinds of partnership in TransContainer and think that this is an interesting business,” Dmitriev said.

United Transport and Logistics Company (UTLC) of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan owns 50% plus two shares in TransContainer. Russian Railways plans to withdraw this stake from UTLC and sell it at an auction. Far Eastern Shipping Company (FESCO), a unit of Summa, holds 25.07%, Enisey Capital holds 24.5051%.
