Transoil still Russia's No. 2 rail freight operator after Freight One - SPARK
MOSCOW. Aug 9 (Interfax) - LLC Transoil remains the second largest rail freight operator in Russia by revenue after Freight One.
Transoil, which is controlled by billionaire Gennady Timchenko, increased revenue by 27.1% to 68.889 billion rubles in 2012, information in the SPARK-Interfax database shows. The company has maintained its position for several years, although Federal Freight Company (formerly Freight Two), which has the second largest freight car fleet, is catching up.
Federal Freight increased revenue by 58.8% to 67.1 billion rubles in 2012, overtaking the Aminov brothers' NefteTransService (NTS) and Rosneft subsidiary RN-Trans, which increased revenue to respectively 54.8 billion rubles and 52.2 billion rubles. NTS and RN-Trans both had revenue of about 47.3 billion rubles in 2011.
Freight One, with the biggest freight car fleet in Russia, remains far ahead of its rivals, though its revenue grew by only 3.7% in 2012, to 119.5 billion rubles.
Industry companies in general had a good year in 2012. Despite the slump in freight traffic at the end of the year, almost all operators increased revenue. The exceptions were Mechel Trans, Sibuglemettrans and TransLes.
