Odesa Portside Plant to be auctioned again in summer 2026

The State Property Fund of Ukraine plans to auction the Odesa Portside Plant for the second time this summer. According to the head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Natalukha, four potential investors have expressed interest in privatizing the enterprise. Among them are three companies from Western countries and one from the Middle East.

Investors have signed non-disclosure agreements

According to Natalukha, all potential buyers have already signed non-disclosure agreements and have begun to study the terms of the plant’s privatization. This allows them to familiarize themselves in detail with the asset and determine the prospects for the further development of the enterprise.

Why the sale of OPP could be a historic event

The head of the SPFU emphasized that the Odesa Portside Plant is both a complex and a very promising asset. In the context of a full-scale war, its buyer could be a foreign investor with the “right flag,” which, according to Natalukha, could protect the enterprise from Russian attacks.

“Let’s be frank, this is a complex asset. But it also offers many opportunities… I believe that if the plant is sold, it will be a historic event… This will send a strong signal both within the country – to the authorities and the government – and outside the country, to foreign investors,” Natalukha noted.

The Odesa Portside Plant remains one of the largest manufacturing enterprises in Ukraine, and its privatization is seen as an important step towards attracting foreign investment and developing the country’s economy.
