In the latest investment in Mariupol port, a successful auction was held last week for dredging 2 million cubic meters of sediment from the approach channel and port. Five previous auctions failed due to a lack of bidders. Companies feared their dredges and barges could be bottled up in the Azov due to Russian control of the Kerch Strait. Azimut, a Ukrainian company, won the ProZorro auction with a bid of $13.3 million. Now, the Sea Ports Administration plans to issue a tender for dredging Berdyansk port.
