The first 150 tons of metal structures of the thickener have been mounted at Southern Mining and Processing Plant (Krivoy Rog, Dnepropetrovsk region) under the contract with Smart Maritime Group. The thickener will be used in the YuGOK production process.

The thickener designed by German ENGINEEREING DOBERSEK GMBH consists of three vats having a diameter of 62 meters and a height of 10.9 meters each. The total weight of metal structures for their mounting will be over 2,000 tons. The metal structures were manufactured by Nikolaev shipyard of Smart Maritime Group. In addition, to assemble the thickener's vats at YuGOK, SMG hired a contractor, Invariant Company from Krivoy Rog. According to the work schedule, the installation of the thickener’s first vat at YuGOK will be completed in the second half of January next year.

It is to be reminded that the contract worth UAH 175 million was signed by SMG and YuGOK in February 2018.

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025

As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH). This reduction occurred, among other reasons, due to increased government pressure and the blocking of gas production assets of the publicly listed British company Enwell Energy.

We need to distinguish sanctions against individuals and the work of enterprises operating in Ukraine, paying taxes and supporting energy independence

Today, the Ukrainian energy sector lives between two realities: On the one hand, there is an urgent need for its own gas, on the other hand, there are legal norms that actually stop those who can provide this resource.
