Cultivate kindness

Deputy General Director of NIBULON Andriy Vadaturskyy has become “Citizen of the year” for the second time. In 2008, the victory was received in the nomination “Business”. This year, Andriy Vadaturskyy has become a winner in the nomination “Philanthropy”.

Honored journalist of Ukraine, the main editor of the “Vecherniy Nikolaev” Volodymyr Puchkov was entrusted to handle this honorary award. Volodymyr said that he was pleased to see “that Andriy Vadaturskyy hands on the lamp of “NIBULON” and his father’s, Oleksiy Vadaturskyy. There are a lot of successful and wealthy people in our city, but few people know that they should share with others. You are successful, when your city is successful and people who live next door”.

According to Andriy Vadaturskyy, this award is “primarily the merit of a remarkable collective of “NIBULON” and, of course, the Hero of Ukraine, General Director of “NIBULON” O.O. Vadaturskyy”.

Today “NIBULON” is known as a socially responsible company, which is involved in many social projects, such as purchase of computer classes and digital libraries for schools, and transfer of modern advanced equipment for medical institutions. Only in 2009 “NIBULON” has laid out 5 million UAH for financial assistance.

A. Vadaturskyy mentioned that, despite their good intentions, it is not the easiest thing to lead the business. Andriy Vadaturskyy remembered the difficult situation with the vessel "Preventer" that has been remaining off the harbor during 4 months at the port "Yuzhnyy": “It is difficult to be engaged in philanthropy, when due to the fault of several officials our company bears the tremendous loss. In spite of all this we continue to develop. We will work and make ourselves useful to the society and country”. The audience supported the winner with thunderous ovation.

According to A. Vadaturskyy many people perceive philanthropy as nonrecoverable help. Although in a broader sense of the word philanthropy it is a good, benefit. During the time of its existence “NIBULON” created something new. We did not participate in privatization, we did not use those facilities that were built by Soviet Union. We created new work places, new infrastructure. Probably everybody already knows about our unique investment project that the company implements successfully during the year: the construction of fleet and elevators, the development of Dnipro River. The main goal of our work is to bring the benefit to people and society.


Investment project - to the “Red Book”!

Experts and organizations of the city suggested the special nomination “Investment-innovative project of the year”. Two Heroes of Ukraine General Director of “NIBULON” Oleksiy Vadaturskyy and General Director of OJSC “Wadan Yards Okean” Mykola Romanchuk have gained the victory in this nomination.

Mayor of Mykolayiv city Volodymyr Chaika congratulated the winners: “At a time when everybody says that there is economic crisis, banks do not give credits, Ukrainian shipbuilding is dying, two Heroes of Ukraine implement investment-innovative project for the welfare of our Ukraine and home city. According to the mayor, such a unique, for our times, project should be listed into the “Red Book”.

M. P. Romanchuk drew attention to the uniqueness of the investment projects of “NIBULON”: “Two non-self-propelled vessels with deadweight of 4 thousand tons each were built on one of the largest yards in Russia for 2 years. On the 28th of December, 2009, ie over a period of 7 months, 14 non-self-propelled vessels with deadweight of 4.5 thousand tons each with very complex unique hatch covers that were patented and have no analogues in the world were constructed on shipbuilding yard “Wadan Yards Okean”.

”We have heard all kinds of “fairy tales” that “cans” are constructed on shipbuilding yard “Wadan Yards Okean”together with “NIBULON”, - said M. P. Romanchuk, - I would like to see that “hero” who writes and says so much, but can not even distinguish the nose from the hull back, though he stands for a post of mayor of shipbuilders’ city”.

“Today at the initiative of “NIBULON” as a primary customer on the plant OJSC “Wadan Yards Okean” shipping company was born and is unique in Ukraine”. M. P. Romanchuk called O.O.Vadaturskyy as a “shipwright” with a capital letter, and expressed his pride “that there are such businessmen, who create workplaces, build fleet for Ukraine and take care of society in the city of Mykolayiv”.

Mykolayiv company with a worldwide reputation

I am the citizen of Mykolayiv and the headquarter of our company is situated here. I am proud that the whole world knows “NIBULON” as Mykolayiv company. Today, our company is a leader in grain trading. “NIBULON” produces about 300 thousand tons of grain on its own fields. Imagine what a tremendous work of our specialists was done during the crisis. Although there was no financial crisis in our company, we had only a crisis of time – we were short of time for the rest.

Among them there are today’s winners: General Director of OJSC “Wadan Yards Okean” M. P. Romanchuk, director of enterprise “Promzhytlobud- 3” V.O.
