Metinvest Shipping (Ukrainian: Метінвест-Шиппінг), also known as Skif Shipping (Ukrainian: Скіф шиппінг) until 25 July 2012, is a Ukrainian transport company founded in 2000.[1] As of 12 August 2006, Skif Shipping Ltd. is a subsidiary of Metinvest Holding Ltd.[2] The company has branch offices in the cities of Mariupol, Sevastopol, Dnipro and Odesa. The company also employs people in Berdyansk, Chornomorsk, Izmail, Mykolaiv and Pivdenne.
Company profile
[edit]The Company’s operations cover the whole range of cargo transportation services: from railway carriage to port operations: customs clearance, cargo expediting, freight quantity control, Laboratory Tests, ship's agency services, chartering of seaborne vessels.[3] Skif-Shipping is the only company which has joint operations with Mariupol Merchant Seaport State Enterprise.
By 2011, Skif-Shipping was the largest freight expeditor in Ukraine, as it handled over 20 million tonnes of cargo annually.[4] This was done primarily through the Port of Mariupol.[5] After its rebranding, it continued to grow and by 2018 was expediting 25.37 million tonnes of cargo.[6] That same year, it also purchased 1,800 open-top railcars to transport raw materials to help reduce the shortage of rolling stock and serviced 761 self-propelled vessels, which also made it the leading maritime agent in Ukraine.[7][6] At the time, the cargo it transported accounted for approximately 22% of all freight dispatched on the network of Ukrzaliznytsia and around 19% of all cargo handled in ports in Ukraine.[8] In 2019, at the 12th National Maritime Rating of Ukraine, the company won first place in both the Freight Forwarder of the Year and Maritime Agent of the Year for its 2018 results.[8][6]
In March 2021, MetInvest entered into a 3-year lease agreement with Ukrzaliznytsia, covering around half of the railway's open-top railcar fleet.[9] According to MetInvest, the agreement would reduce the company's logistics costs by around 4 billion hryvnias.[9]
