The Danube ports of Ukraine tripled their cargo-handling volume.

The ports of Izmail, Reni, and Ust-Dunaisk increased the volume of cargo transshipment by 2.9 times in the 11 full months of the year compared to the same period last year, the Administration of Sea Ports of Ukraine said. In particular, in January-November, the ports of the Danube region handled 14.5 million tons of cargo, which is 294% of total volume compared to last year. The volume of export of agricultural products such as oil and grain from the ports of the Danube region amounted to 6.1 million tons, which exceeds the figure for the same period in 2021 by 42 times. The export of agricultural products through Danube ports amounts to 24% of the total volume from the sea ports of Ukraine. According to the Sea Port administration, even though the Danube ports have already attracted almost all available capacity for cargo transshipment, there is still potential for further development.
