Rosneft wants the government's stake in NCSP
The President of Rosneft Igor Sechin wants to obtain 20% of NCSP (Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port, controlled by Transneft and the Summa Group). He asked Vladimir Putin to instruct the government to sell the state 20% of the port to the oil company. The government is against it and wants to put the stake up for tender. If Rosneft succeeds, NCSP will obtain three key shareholders with contradictory interests and numerous mutual conflicts.
