Joint Stock Company Freight One confirms that it is ready to bid for the right to buy a stake in Public Joint Stock Company Center for Cargo Container Traffic TransContainer (LSE:TRCN) from Open Joint Stock Company Russian Railways. "We've filed a formal request," Alexander Sapronov, the Managing Director of Freight One, told reporters, adding that the request had been submitted to Oleg Belozerov, the President of RZD. Belozerov did not say how much Freight One was offering, saying he "did not remember." He did say the request had been submitted "during the timeframe when they [RZD] made the announcement about this." "At least there was information that the stake is being put up for sale," Sapronov said, adding that the information came from the press. There has "not yet been any reply" from RZD, he said. Saperonov said it was for the owners to decide whether or not it was expedient to sell. RZD's Belozerov has said on several occasions that he does not consider it advisable to sell the stake as is guarantees RZD income from orders for infrastructure and freight services. "This is not a question for us," he said.
