The main Ukrainian ports are congested with ice and as a result Ice campaigns have been announced. Thus we kindly advise P&I clubs and Members to visit our web-site where they can find the updated information regarding ice condition at the Ukrainian ports. You can find the necessary information here: http://www.dias-co.com/ice-condition.

If any detailed information is required you can liaise with ship`s agents directly. Otherwise we can assist in this issue.

Also we will try to provide the updated photos of the current ice conditions.
