Since the beginning of the year, the cargo turnover of Ukrainian ports has increased to 80.07 million tons, of which more than half (49.5 million tons) was grain, said Deputy Minister of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development Timur Tkachenko.
“Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine’s ports have handled 80.077 million tons of cargo, of which 49.508 million tons were grain,” Tkachenko wrote in a telegram on Friday.
According to him, the figures once again prove that Ukraine is a guarantor of global food security. “Even despite constant air raids, shelling and threats, our ports continue to operate normally, ensuring the stable operation of the Ukrainian sea corridor.
Earlier it was reported that in January-September 2024, Ukrainian ports increased cargo transshipment by 1.8 times to 74 million tons.
It was also reported that the Cabinet of Ministers would allocate additional funds for the restoration of Odesa ports.
