The ministry owns 60% in the port operator.

No brokers were interested to help with the sale of 5% stakes in international airports Mihail Kogalniceanu (near Constanta) and Traian Vuia (Timisoara).

Swiss Capital’s offer for the Constanta port will be opened at 10:00 am Thursday.

Romania has resumed in January listing proceedings for eight companies in the transport ministry’s portfolio, saying it plans to sell minority stakes of 5% in each of the companies.

The country had hoped to float all eight companies by the end of 2008, but the preliminary steps extended well beyond the scheduled deadline. In June 2010, the government froze the process, citing unfavorable market conditions due to the financial and economic crisis.
