I am sure that this is just the beginning of our cooperation," – Andriy Pavlushyn, General Director of OTP Leasing said.

After years of fruitful cooperation, the company set an important precedent on the Ukrainian market, already selling its own modern project vessels to other Ukrainian enterprises for the further development of shipping. This step opens new opportunities for the company's partners and customers in the organization of successful efficient logistics," – NIBULON CEO Oleksiy Vadatursky highlighted.
