During the first half of this year, 5,785 vessels transported almost 3 million tons of cargo on the Dnipro, 10% more ships than during the same period last year, the Infrastructure Ministry reported. “Pay attention to inland waterways,” Minister Volodymyr Omelyan told a meeting of the US-Ukraine Business Council. “The Dnipro cuts the country in half. You have experience in the United States – bring a company from the Mississippi to work in Ukraine.” Omelyan said he hopes to get the Rada to pass an inland waterways bill this fall.
