ANDRE MICHEL1 coastal vessel with a deadweight of 1,600 tonnes of Ship Management Support B.V. (Klundert, the Netherlands) has been delivered to Kherson Shipyard of Smart Maritime Group for repair.

The scope of the work will include repair of hatch covers, painting and checking of the engine room mechanisms. According to the preliminary estimate, 20-25 tonnes of the ship's metal need to be replaced.

"The capacity of Kherson Shipyard allows us to provide a much wider scope of ship repair services, however, in the situation when the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping is banned in Ukraine, when we forecast about UAH 140 million in losses per year, any contract is a big plus for our work," Vasiliy Fedin, the CEO of Smart Maritime Group, commented on the new contract.

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.

Ukraine imports gas, while blocking its own fields

Ukraine has gas, but cannot produce it. Not because of the war. Not because of missiles. Due to the decisions of state bodies.

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.
