Kherson Shipyard of Smart Maritime Group has accomplished a stage of external hull operations as part of a redesign of a donor ore-oil tanker to transform it into the first sludge-disposal barge.

The shipyard's specialists have started setting up of the strut beams, erection of forward and aft bulkheads and installation of flaps.

A self-propelled barge with bottom flaps and a loading bin will be used in tandem with a dredger for bottom dredging of the riverbed and in the water areas of ports.

It is a reminder that this is the first project in Ukraine that allows turning a motor ship with a dry cargo hold into a self-propelled barge, i.e. completely changing the designation of the vessel.

A total of two barges are planned to be redesigned by SMG. The total value of this contract will be about one and a half million U.S. dollars.

Why Cyprus' EU presidency is important for Ukraine's future
Andreas Sophocleus, trust manager of Smart Holding and founder of the Kepaky charitable foundation, emphasizes that investors are ready to work in Ukraine, invest and create jobs even during the war. But they need something that no company can provide on its own — political and regulatory stability. And this must be implemented already, and not wait for better times.

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.
