    of shares of the Black Sea Ferry Investment (BFI), the operator of
    Caucasus-Poti train ferry, reports RBC quoting a representative of
    Russian Railways.

    "The purchase is aimed at establishing through rate in the fringes of
    operating Caucasus-Poti train ferry, said a representative of Russian
    Railways, explaining that a common tariff for railway and overseas
    transport in that direction is discussed.

    February 13, 2007 between the Government of Armenia and the Swiss
    Reserve Capital Corporation. Capacity of the first Smat ferry, owned
    by Reserve Capital Corporation, is 50 wagons.

    315-mile distance between two seaports can be passed by ships within
    31 hours. Ferry boat from Russia to Armenia mainly transports grain
    and provisions, and from Armenia to Russia construction materials.
