To preserve cargo flows through Mariupol and Berdyansk, Ukrzaliznytsia is preparing to offer discounts on cargo bound for Ukraine’s Sea of Azov ports. At Mariupol, the larger port, ship calls, and cargo were down about 15% in January and February y-o-y. As of March 22, volumes and ship calls were the same as during the first three weeks of March. Since the start of the year, Mariupol has handled 1 million tons of cargo, the port says.
