Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

TWO MONTHS after the receiver was called in at the giant London-based haulage company of Roadships Ltd one of the firm's major assets, the South London Inland Clearance Terminal, has not yet been sold.

A spokesman for the receiver told CM that the terminal, which is in Charlton, is still up for offers. So far the receiver had not had a bid which met what was considered to be a satisfactory price.

The terminal is still operating under the receiver's control and is making " reasonable profits." The spokesman said that since opening in 1971 SLIC had always operated at a profit and that it was not one of the contributory factors to Roadships downfall.

"We are trying to sell it as a going concern," he said. "Certainly we would like to se the property continue as an in land clearance depot. But i does depend on what sort o offers we get."

One part of the Roadship group which has found a buye is the six and a half acre trans port and container depot a Beckton Road, London. It ha been purchased by Langvilli Transport Group.
