A leading manufacturer of seamless stainless steel pipes, Centravis Production Ukraine, a part of Centravis Holding, was forced to change the logistics routes for product deliveries due to the situation in the Middle East.
According to Centravis Sales Director Artem Atanasov, the company continues to closely monitor the development of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and its potential impact on regional logistics and supply chains.
“Over the past weekend, the situation has changed, and new events have affected previously available logistics options,” Atanasov stated.
According to him, as of March 16, several shipping lines have temporarily suspended new bookings to and from a number of destinations in the Persian Gulf region, including the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia (Dammam & Al Jubail), Oman (Sohar) and Bahrain.
The sales director of Centravis stated that the situation remains dynamic. Shipping lines are currently working on possible solutions to ensure transportation and minimize operational risks.
Centravis was founded in 2000 and is among the ten largest manufacturers of seamless stainless pipes in the world. Its main production facilities are located in Nikopol (Dnipropetrovsk region). In 2023, the company opened a branch in Uzhgorod. (Minprom)
