Transnet to establish leasing company
South African carrier Transnet is seeking a partner to set up a leasing company to lease rolling stock - including wagons and locomotives – to the market.
The establishment of a leasing company is aligned with the policy directive for rail reform. It aims to create a more enabling environment by lowering barriers to entry for new train operating companies (TOCs) that will be using available slots on the network in line with the regime for third party access, Transnet said.
The scope of the partnership includes, for example, the acquisition of capital assets, the developing of rolling stock and port equipment leasing capabilities within South Africa as well as leasing rolling stock assets in and out of South Africa. (ben)
