Atena Equity Partners, Cofihold, and Mediterranean Shipping Company were shortlisted for the privatisation of Portugal rail freight operator CP Carga. For the acquisition of Railway Equipment Maintenance Company (EMEF), Alstom and Bavaria industries Group will enter in the final round of negociations.
In 2012, Portugal authorities announced plans for the privatisation of both companies, but it was postponed and in March 2015, the Governement approved the revised plan for the privatisation of both companies.
Under the negociations, the government will favour bidders offering an international strategy “aimed at penetrating other markets across Europe.”
