Nurminen expands Finnish business
The Estonian state-owned railway company Operail has signed the contract to sell its subsidiary Operail Finland, which provides freight transport services in Finland, to the Finnish logistics company Nurminen Logistics. The sales price is EUR 27.7. The purchase will take effect after Finnish authorities have approved the deal.
Operail Finland has nine powerful Wabtec Powerhaul freight locomotives, one C30-MF shunting locomotive built in Estonia, and over forty employees.
The carrier started freight services in Finland at the end of 2020. The sale is not related to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, Operail said. The decision to start moving out of Finland was already taken in May 2021. (ben)
