OMK keeps producing pipes for South Stream

The Vyksa metallurgical plant, in the structure of OMK, keeps executing the provisions of the contract on pipes production for South Stream, the head of the PR department of the enterprise, S. Zagulovsky, said.

According to him, currently the Vyksa metallurgical plant hasn’t received any notifications on the change of conditions of the signed agreements on pipes supply for the construction of South Stream due to the shutdown of the project.

“At the present time, according to the approved schedule, the Vyksa metallurgical plant keeps producing pipes for the first stage of the offshore site of South Stream”, Mr. Zalugovsky said.

According to him, in March 2014 OMK signed 2 contracts with SouthStream Transport BV, according to which the plant is to produce and supply to the customer over 600 km of pipes (over 1/3 of the necessary volume) for the construction of the first and second stages of the offshore part of South Stream.
