Ukraine has managed to increase its exports through Danube ports sixfold since the beginning of the war, to 33 million tons, but intends to increase them by another 2-7 million, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
“Our goal is to expand the export capacity of the Danube cluster from 33 million tons in 2023 to 35-40 million tons in 2024,” the prime minister said at a press conference on Monday.
According to him, the possibility of launching container transportation on the Danube is also being considered, which will also increase export opportunities and create an alternative to land routes.
Shmyhal recalled that during the two years of war, more than 20 new transshipment points were opened in the Danube cluster, which ensured a 6-fold increase in cargo turnover compared to 2021.
