The government plans to start the reconstruction of the seventh, eighth, and ninth berths of the Chornomorsk seaport by 2025, said head of the Chornomorsk Seaport Administration Ruslan Sakhautdinov.
“A technical and economic feasibility study has already been developed, and the approval procedure is underway. These will be completely different technical and technological capabilities,” Sakhautdinov noted.
In addition, the expansion of the number of truck lanes around the port will begin in June.
