The ranking of Ukraine’s biggest ports emerges from statistics for 2018 cargo volumes released by the Seaports Administration. The top five are: Yuzhne (Odesa region) – 43 million tons; Mykolayiv – 29 million; Odesa – 21.7 million; Chernomorsk (Odesa region) – 21.5 million; and Mariupol (Donetsk region) – 5.9 million. With Odesa’s volumes down 10% last year, the ‘Pearl of the Black Sea’ – now plagued by corruption allegations – seems fated to fall this year to fourth place.
