Description

Description

Empresa Ferroviaria Oriental (FCO) is the consortium company that has improved and operates Bolivia's 1244km Oriental railway network. The consortium leases the track and passenger cars under a 40-year contract. The project is part of Bolivia's capitalization process, under which private companies make a payment for 50% of a public utility, but the payment remains with the project as equity. Empresa Ferroviaria Oriental signed its capitalization contract on 15 March 1996, and invested US$25.85 million. FCO has subsequently invested US$6.5 million. The contract gives FCO exclusive rights to operate freight and passenger transport on the network. FCO comprises Trenes Continentales (50%), AFP Futuro Bolivia (24.95%), AFP Prevision BBVA (24.95%), and workers (0.08%). Trenes Continentales is itself owned by EFO S.A. (Chile; 67.7%), Blue Ocean Overseas (23.9%), General Belgrano (2%), and CB Bolivia (6.4%). In Nov. 2000, the shareholding structure of Trenes Continentales changed with the exit of CB Bolivia. The new partners in Trenes Continentales are the following: Genesee & Wyoming (48.61%), Las Americas (27.8%), IFC (18.05%) and other partners with small shareholdings. In 2000, CAF granted a US$ 5 million loan to the company.
