      It is known, that Delta-Pilot branch of the Ukrainian Seaport Administration announced a tender for purchasing of 3 pilot boats. It is expected that all boats will be built in Ukraine, which will allow to begin the series of commercial shipbuilding for the intended purpose at the selected enterprise. The announced initial cost of the tender is 228.870.100.00 UAH, or 76.290.000.00 UAH per vessel, which is equivalent to 2.380.000.00 euros. Of course, the average cost is an approximate indicator, because the first vessel of the series will cost more than the subsequent ones. But even with this in mind, the declared value looks too attractive and has already prompted several companies to compete actively to be included in the tender.
      Project of the pilot boat PL22 from the Project and Design Bureau ProLine for the domestic shipyard with project support during the construction of ships. The project is characterized by modern design and detailed high-quality development, which is typical for all PDB ProLine projects. The shape of the case is designed for high speed in transition mode. Estimated cost of the construction of the head boat of the series will be 800,000.00 - 1.000.000.00 euros. So the shipbuilding company, which wins the tender for this project, will receive a significant advantage and profit.

      The event was organized by the Embassy of Ukraine in Kazakhstan, the CCI of Ukraine, the Trading House "Ukraine-Asia", the National Company "KAZAKH INVEST", the Association of Exporters and Importers "ZED" and the Center for International Business Cooperation with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Ukraine.
