Ukraine's Black Sea Ports Resume Export Operations

2,290 Vessels Transport 63 Million Tonnes of Cargo

In a sign of resilience and recovery, Ukrainian Black Sea ports have seen a surge in activity in the past year, with 2,290 vessels departing carrying 63 million tonnes of cargo.

Ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv

The ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv have been particularly active, with dozens of ships previously stranded now able to leave. However, several vessels remain stranded in ports in Mykolaiv and Kherson, as the route for safe passage remains closed.

Contribution of TransInvestService

TransInvestService (TIS), a leading stevedore and operator of terminals in Ukraine, has played a significant role in the resumption of exports. The company's terminals have handled a large portion of the cargo transported.

New Export Corridor

On Friday, four vessels departed from Ukrainian Black Sea ports in the Odesa region using a new export corridor. This corridor, established in collaboration with Turkey and the United Nations, has facilitated the safe passage of vessels carrying Ukrainian grain and other commodities.

Conclusion

The resumption of export operations from Ukraine's Black Sea ports is a testament to the determination of the Ukrainian people to overcome the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict. It is a vital step in ensuring the global food supply and supporting the Ukrainian economy.
