KeshefHadayim meets with IVO to establish Vamaj supply networkAugust 5400- Company executives also confirm that talks with Baofluz are underway on Lake Majatra
- Birco and Hadayim to represent Beiteynuese participation in joint Lourennais - Luthorian SouthernOil in the South Ocean Kamalata, Vascania - Throughout this entire ordeal with the oil and gas crisis in Majatra, business circles have been ablaze with one particular topic: how the entire scene would have been vastly different hadn't Trigunia and Neftkomp reneged on their distribution deal with Beiteynu's shipping industry
just a decade prior to the events we're now witnessing in the continent. With the slash to 1.5% from 25% evident
a few years before, the change of pace in Neftkomp's relationship with Hadayim came amidst administrative reforms that were intended to "right the ship" in the Trigunian economy.
As there hadn't been any significant bilateral relations since the 5320s, the Beiteynuese shipping industry packed its oil and gas tankers and went elsewhere; and in considering the conduct of companies like Hadayim, Trigunia's support of Kafuristan would have most assuredly not have stood in the way.
Shipping's involvement in oil and gas distributionIts titans - Hadayim, Birco and Petrik Hadayot - had enjoyed a lucrative oil and gas distribution deal upwards of 25 to 50% with Neftkomp for decades, put in place since
5341, after Hadayim had leveraged international sanctions against Trigunia that were in effect
at the time. Despite the deal being an extension of an already existing business agreement since
the century before, it was power brokering in every sense; which explains why Neftkomp itself received pieces of the pie on the other end of the spectrum. Having poured millions in Brakav in
5286 with Beiteynuese shipping, Neftkomp then joined up directly in helping expand petroleum refinement in Beiteynu
over the next decades, moving crude for refinement instead, which is cheaper.
By
5381, the petroleum refinement industry in Beiteynu had Neftkomp and Beiteynuese shipping sitting at its center of operations, with a solid foothold for the next great opportunity. After Neftkomp pulled out, Hadayim pulled out, buying out the former's stakes in Sholemberg's refineries and storage facilities.
In ending up as the driver of the petroleum refinement industry in Beiteynu and being the country's big league exporting force in par with its international network, shipping has had a keen interest in oil and gas distribution and operations since
5238 when, curiously enough, it had bought KNOC shares.
A global distribution network, starting with MajatraCompanies including but not limited to Hadayim ranging from regional to international span have expanded throughout the last 2 centuries in Artania - with Kundrati and Etxea at the epicentre of operations , Seleya - with Valruzia and Aldegar and Majatra, with a large focus on the Majatran Sea and Beiteynu's trade network from Pontesi, Selucia, Cildania and all the way to Istalia. That includes Kafuristan, a fact that made few surprised when the shipping industry was the one with the most notable lobbying efforts in Yishelem, as they attempted to tone down the conflict and restore trade with Kafuristan.
In meeting with IVO executives in Vascania, Hadayim looks to the massive, barely edging on anti-Beiteynuese sentiment country to the west across the treacherous Red Bass Ocean, especially
in the wake of financial staleness and the country's very own appearance of a "business-friendly" Prime Minister. Historically, Beiteynu and Vascania maintained no relations; only once, the fervour of diplomacy reared its ugly head during the short-lived "cold war" with Vanuku, Beiteynu's neighbour to the south, which begs the question on how the center-left Amira Administration will take in the news.
The dealThe Vamaj network will contain no sharing of ownership of any kind. IVO offers the oil and gas, Hadayim ships it to more and more customers; it covers the heavy weight transport to Beiteynu and parks distribution in Beiteynu's international ports, which were largely expanded
since the beginning of the previous century.
The supply chain will then connect with other distribution companies from Beiteynu and other countries in Majatra such as bordering Barmenistan and Pontesi, Vanuku, Zardugal, Jelbe, Selucia, Cildania and Istalia; and even beyond, potentially reaching Malivia, Kundrati and Luthori (although unlikely as Fort William already has a deal in place with Vascania) in Artania and even broader Seleya with Alduria connecting directly from Istalia.
Negotiations on the deal are expected to endure over the course of the next months, with the logistics and volume of supply still on the table.
