Fesco Transport Group, the largest Russian transporter of shipping containers, agreed to sell its half of National Container for $900 million, Vedomosti reported Monday, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter.
Fesco will sell its stake to co-owner Vitaly Yuzhilin’s First Quantum holding company and his partner Andrei Kobzar, the newspaper said. Fesco rejected a $440 million offer for the 50 percent stake at the start of the year, according to Vedomosti.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
