Ukrainian seaports processed 59.9 million tons of cargo in January-July, almost equaling the total figure for last year (approximately 62 million tons). During this time, the ports increased cargo turnover by 74.1% compared to the corresponding period in 2023. In July, the ports increased cargo handling by 120% compared to July last year – up to seven million tons.

We note that January-July 2024’s result, achieved by six Ukrainian ports, is 22%, or 16.9 million tons, inferior to the indicator from the corresponding period in the pre-war year of 2021 when cargo transshipment took place in 13 ports.
