The state enterprise “Chernomorsk Commercial Sea Port” received a liner container ship for the first time since the beginning of the war and remains the only state port that handles container cargo. Over the past 12 months, the port has handled more than 18 thousand TEU, while the enterprise is actively expanding cooperation and preparing to increase transshipment volumes.
On July 16, 2025, the port of “Chernomorsk” set a record for handling – 470 loaded containers in one call of the vessel. The port management notes that ensuring liner container traffic in wartime is a contribution not only to the economy, but also to the stability of the state, support for Ukrainian business, farmers and exporters.
In addition, the port plans to implement concession projects, including a container terminal. The concession project has already been presented in Warsaw, and the concessionaire will be selected at an open auction at the best price and conditions under the supervision of the EBRD and IFC.
