The government will involve external advisers in the process once it completes its own analysis on the potential sale options, he added. The government has a number of options regarding Omniva, which is part of its postal services group Eesti Post. Options include a partial or full sale, as well as exploring a potential listing or attracting a strategic investor, Michal said, adding a final decision is yet to be made. The government was planning to sell a 50%+ stake in Eesti Post, as reported last November. This option also remains on the table, the minister said, adding that it is now analysing the sale of Omniva. Eesti Post reported EUR 75.9m in sales revenue during 2015, up 27% y-o-y. Meanwhile, the government plans to sell Eesti Teed, which has turnover of EUR 27m, but there are some existing road maintenance service contracts that need to be finalised before the sale, Michal said. A debate on privatising other state-owned companies is possible after the government completes the formation of a single holding company for its transportation and infrastructure service companies, Michal added. The holding first needs to get government approval, after which it will take a Deal News – Transportation & Logistics What's up in your market – a focus on deals activity, May 2016 year to form the entity. The minister named EVR Cargo, the railway cargo company, and the airline Nordica as two potential privatisation candidates. The holding company, which has a potential valuation of EUR 1.2bn, will consist of state-owned companies in the transportation sector including Tallinna Sadam, the port company, EVR Cargo and Eesti Raudtee, the railway operators, as well as Tallinna Lennujaam, the airport, and other government holdings. Privatizing the transportation holding company itself is unlikely, as it will include some strategically important assets to the state, such as railway infrastructure, Michal said. However, a partial listing on Nasdaq Tallinn is theoretically possible in the long term, he said, adding that it is not being discussed at the moment. The governmental discussion on other privatisation candidates may start in the end of 2017 or later, Michal said. 16.05.2016 Proprietary Intelligence OT Logistics looking Listed Polish logistics group OT Logistics plans acquisitions of logistics at firms from companies, Polish daily Parkiet reported.

That said, there is plenty of scope for growth on the home market too, he added. Indicative offers are due this week, said the two sources familiar. MB Funds invested in the company in 2010 after founder of the company, Kari Valtanen, sold down his stake. At the time of the transaction Transval had a turnover of approximately EUR 27m, which has risen to EUR 110m since, according to MB Funds' homepage.

Milla Laisi Keywords: Commuter transport, passenger railway market deregulation, passenger railway transport, public transport, railway undertaking The worlds’ population is increasing and cities have become more crowded with people and vehicles. Communities in the fringe of metropolitans’ increase the traffic done with private cars, but also increase the need for public transportation. People have typically needs traveling to work located in city centers during the morning time, and return to suburbs in the afternoon or evening. Rail based passenger transport is environmentally friendly transport mode with high capacity to transport large volume of people. Railways have been regulated markets with national incumbent having monopoly position. Opening the market for competition is believed to have a positive effect by increasing the efficiency of the industry. National passenger railway market is opened for competition only in few countries, where as international traffic in EU countries was deregulated in 2010. The objective of this study is to examine the passenger railway market of three North European countries, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia.
