Total investment in infrastructure of Danube ports reached about $100 million, - Shmyhal
Ukraine’s Danube ports have become a key element of the new logistics strategy. Over 11 months, transshipment at these ports amounted to 31 million tons, which is an absolute record.
According to Censor.NET, this was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a government meeting.
"Total investments in the infrastructure of the Danube ports have already amounted to about $100 million. We have opened 23 new cargo transshipment terminals at the expense of private investments," said Shmygal.
According to the Prime Minister, this year Ukraine has finally closed a 20-year conflict case with Romania over the implementation of the requirements of the ESPO Convention during the construction of the Danube-Black Sea Canal. According to him, this story had a negative impact on European integration and the development of infrastructure projects.
"We have taken a systematic approach to this issue, fulfilled our European integration commitments and unblocked the development of infrastructure in the Danube area - for both Romania and Ukraine," Shmyhal said.
He also noted the successes of the new Ukrainian corridor through the Black Sea, which has exported 10 million tons of cargo. The ports of Greater Odesa have received more than 330 new vessels for loading, and about 80 more are being prepared to receive in the near future.
