Since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian seaports have handled over 15 million tons of cargo, despite constant attacks and increased risks to infrastructure. The ports of Greater Odesa accounted for the majority of this transshipment volume – 14.5 million tons, of which 8.5 million tons were grain exports. Ports in the Danube region handled another 1.1 million tons, including 221,000 tons of grain.
Since September 2023, nearly 179 million tons of cargo, including 107 million tons of grain, have been transported through the Ukrainian maritime corridor. During this period, 7,087 vessels were served, confirming the stable operation of maritime logistics even in wartime conditions and its key role in global supply chains.
The Ministry of Development noted that port infrastructure continues to be subject to systemic attacks: since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 726 facilities and 153 civilian vessels have been damaged or partially destroyed, and 238 people have been injured. Since the beginning of 2026 alone, 63 infrastructure facilities and 7 vessels have been damaged. Despite this, Ukrainian ports continue to operate, ensuring the stability of the economy and export shipments.
