Currently, there is a slight decrease in volumes, but these ports are open jobs firmly, despite the continuous shelling.
In the first half of 2025, Ukraine’s seaports processed nearly 40 million tons of freight. Andrei Kashuba, Deputy Minister of Gromad and Territory Development, spoke in an interview Ukrinform.
Throughout the processed shipment in particular, 20.3 million tons are grains, 9.3 million tons are minerals and 2.1 million tons – ferrous metal.
Kashuba admitted that the volume of cargo turnover was reduced. At the same time, he emphasized that open ports work firmly despite the ongoing flow and a difficult security situation.
“Yes, in fact, now there is a definite collapse in volumes, but these ports are open jobs firmly, despite the ongoing flow and a difficult security situation,” the official said.
The main reason for the reduction in exports is to reduce the harvesting area and dispose of adventures and temporary work.
“The agrarian cargo is part of the results of lion’s processing in ports. According to the Ukrainian Grain Association, it is at 2024 that the grain yield of grain and oil in Ukraine costs 9.5%less than 2023 – 75 million tons. Kashuba explained.
And he added that now in the 18 ports of the sea, to act on a full -scale aggression, only ten operates. These are the main ports of Big Odessa and the Danube Region: South, Odessa, Chernomorsk, IZmail, Reni and UST-Dunaysk.
“The seaports of Nikolaev, Olbia and Belgorod -dniester, for security reasons, unfortunately, cannot perform the entire activity (shipping to these ports is now prohibited). These ports can work on the ground. The Kherson seaport remains closed,” Kashuba said.
Remember that in the one year and a half of the work of the Ukrainian Sea Corridor, 100 million tons of shipment were brought.
