Thanks to the Ukrainian maritime corridor, the ports of Greater Odessa have handled over 146.5 million tons of cargo and processed 5,596 vessels since August 2023, including 1,528 through the port of Odessa, according to Dmytro Nazarenko, head of the Odessa branch of the State Enterprise “Administration of Seaports of Ukraine.”
“Despite all the challenges, Ukrainian seaports remain an integral part of the country’s economic stability. Their security is not only a matter of logistics, but also the survival of Ukraine’s export model,” he said at a round table of representatives of the maritime and port industry, which took place within the framework of the BALTEXPO 2025 International Maritime and Military Exhibition in Gdansk (Poland).
Nazarenko noted that since the start of full-scale aggression in Ukraine, more than 500 port infrastructure facilities and 116 civilian vessels have been damaged or destroyed, 157 civilians have been injured, and 161 facilities have been damaged directly on the territory of the Odesa seaport.
The USPA representative presented the European community with infrastructure projects for the Port of Odesa and plans for their further implementation, and invited international investors to cooperate.
