Mykolaiv Selects New Contractor for Pilot Boat Amid Competitive Bidding

In Mykolaiv, a contractor for the construction of a pilot boat was selected on the second attempt. The winner of the tender was a company that was established during the war.

This was reported by the Center for Public Investigations.

The Delta-Lotsman branch of the State Enterprise "Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority" located in Mykolaiv held an auction in the format of open bidding with special features.

The expected value of the vessel was UAH 134.13 million, but the price decreased during the bidding. The lowest bid of UAH 109.3 million was made by Ukrainian Marine Shipbuilding LLC, which is currently awaiting a final decision.

The boat is to be delivered by December 31, 2026, in accordance with the terms of the tender documents.

According to YouControl, Ukrainian Marine Shipbuilding LLC was registered on June 23, 2022, in Kyiv. The company specializes in the construction of pleasure and sports boats. The company is headed by Mykola Sadovyi. The authorized capital is UAH 5,000. In addition to its core business, the company manufactures plastic products, metal tanks, forging and stamping.
