Monday 6th April 2009

Text too small?
Infratil's NZ Bus unit agreed to sell its ferry business for $40 million, to focus on land-based transport.

The ferries, which operate out of Auckland, are being acquired by another bus company, Souter Holdings, which operates Howick & eastern buses and owns 74% of Wellington's Mana Coachlines.

Fullers had EBITDAF of $5 million in the year ended March 31, Infratil said. The sale, which settles on April 8, will bring to $100 million the amount of divestments in the 2009-2010 year.

Shares of Infratil were last at $1.47 and have slipped about 10% this year.
