The property of the Black Sea Fishport Administration was sold at an auction with only one participant

The auction for the sale of the unified property complex of the state enterprise Maritime Administration of the Black Sea Fishing Port was held with the participation of one company, Garant-Product Ukraine Limited Liability Company.

The regional office of the State Property Fund of Ukraine in Odesa and Mykolaiv regions held the auction on January 15.

At a starting price of UAH 4 million 747 thousand, the buyer offered UAH 6 million 60 thousand. The company's balance sheet includes two liquid bulk tankers Yuzhnyi, which are located at a berth in the village of Burlacha Balka, and Vostochnyi, which is located at a berth in Mykolaiv Commercial Port, a patrol boat Sadko-2, which is located at a berth in Odesa region, and a Hyundai H-1 car. The company does not own any real estate.

This is small-scale privatization, which is a way to acquire enterprises, buildings, and stakes in companies owned by the state (managed by the State Property Fund of Ukraine) or communities (managed by local authorities). Small-scale privatization is limited to objects with a book value of up to UAH 250 million.

According to the YouControl service, Garant-Product Ukraine LLC was registered in Kyiv in 2023 and is owned by Maksym Barabash.

In November, the Odesa Port State Enterprise auctioned off the Admiral De Ribas vessel along with its equipment. Two companies took part in the auction: Balker Limited Liability Company and Turkish Aleria Denizcilik Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi. The winner was the latter, which agreed to pay UAH 22 million 951,100 thousand for the vessel, 400 thousand more than its competitor.

In December, the deal to privatize the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi seaport was again threatened with disruption. Top Offer, which won the auction on November 7, transferred UAH 108 million to the account of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU) at the last minute. This company was supposed to deposit the funds by December 5, but the situation was complicated by the change of its beneficiary.
