The Ukrainian Sea Port Authority plans to carry out dredging works in the water areas of Ukrainian seaports before 2019, Head of the Ukrainian Sea Port Authority Raivis Veckagans said. “This year our goal is dredging in all ports. Today we have a number of signed agreements… on April 5, 2018 we will sign a contract for dredging in Chornomorsk,” he said. Veckagans also said that he expects an increase in the export of goods in 2018 thanks to, in particular the increase in the capacity of the ports, as well as in relation with a decrease in port dues rates.
As reported, the seaports of Ukraine in 2017 handled 132.9 million tonnes of cargo, which is 0.9% higher than in 2016.
