The supervisory board of Artvineri PJSC (Kyiv), one of Ukraine’s largest producers of sparkling wines, plans to leave the 2025 profit undistributed at the annual remote general meeting of shareholders on April 28.
According to the company’s filing in the NSSMC’s disclosure system, the agenda also includes the approval of the results of financial and operational activities and the Supervisory Board’s report for 2025.
In addition, shareholders are being asked to completely renew the composition of the Supervisory Board.

Currently, bottling and aging of products are carried out at partner facilities in the Odesa region. The company exports its products to over 20 countries worldwide.

Centrenergo is one of Ukraine’s largest power generation companies, playing a significant role in thermal power generation.

The implementation of digitalization in the fisheries sector, specifically the “eFishing” system, has generated approximately 170 million UAH in additional revenue for Ukraine’s state budget, according to Oleksandr Haidu, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy.
“Starting in 2022, a systemic reform is being implemented in the sector aimed at creating a transparent and competitive fisheries market,” he emphasized during the industry forum “Fisheries of Ukraine: On the Path to European Integration,” organized by the State Agency for Fisheries.
According to the committee head, the reform involves the adoption of European standards, the digitization of resource management, and the introduction of electronic auctions for commercial fishing rights. These steps will help minimize corruption risks and increase the sector’s investment appeal.
Forum participants also discussed the implementation of the pilot project “eInspector.” This initiative aims to modernize the work of fisheries patrols and strengthen control over the use of aquatic biological resources. Special attention was given to legislative initiatives regarding the development of aquaculture and the adaptation of Ukrainian law to EU standards.
The “eFisheries” system is part of a broader digital transformation of Ukraine’s agro-industrial complex, aimed at transitioning all administrative services in the sector to an electronic format.
In 2025, China retained its position as the world’s leading shipbuilder across three key indicators — production (ships delivered), new orders and order backlog — according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China, as reported by the Experts Club information and analysis centre.
Below is the ranking of the largest shipbuilding nations for 2025 by each indicator (different sources use different units — deadweight tonnage (DWT or total cargo capacity of a vessel), compensated gross tonnage (CGT) and gross tonnage (GT), therefore the figures are compared primarily as shares and the ranking of countries) .
1) Output (ships delivered) in 2025, DWT — top by volume:
1. China — 53.69 million tonnes of deadweight, +11.4% y/y, 56.1% of global output.
2. South Korea – estimated based on market structure; according to Clarksons Research, South Korea’s share of production in 2025 is around 27%.
3. Japan – estimated; share around 14%.
For reference: based on China’s share, global output in 2025 can be estimated at approximately 95.7 million DWT (calculation based on a 56.1% share).
2) New orders in 2025 – top countries:
1. China – 35.37 million CGT, 63% of global new orders.
2. South Korea – 11.6 million CGT, around 21%.
3. Japan – 2.8 million CGT, around 5%.
4. Other countries – a total of around 6.7 million CGT (the remainder of the global volume of 56.43 million CGT).
3) Order book at the end of 2025, DWT – top countries:
1. China – 274.42 million DWT, +31.5% y/y, 66.8% of the global order book.
2. South Korea – 2nd place; industry reviews estimate Korea’s share of the orderbook at approximately 18%.
3. Japan – 3rd place; the Japanese orderbook is estimated at 40.7 million DWT.
The UAE insists that any political settlement of the conflict with Iran must include not only a ceasefire but also guarantees against new attacks, as well as a mechanism for reparations for strikes on civilian infrastructure and the populations of the Gulf states. This was stated by Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the UAE president.
Gargash’s statement generally aligns with the broader position of the Arab Gulf states, previously articulated at the UN Human Rights Council. According to Reuters, the region’s countries accused Iran of striking energy and civilian infrastructure and supported a resolution condemning these attacks, demanding reparations, and mandating UN monitoring of the situation.
The Gulf states are also insisting that any agreement with Iran not be limited to a formal cessation of hostilities, but include a long-term reduction of its missile and drone capabilities, as well as the protection of the region’s energy and transportation infrastructure.
