Ukraine plans to sell another seaport.
The State Property Fund plans to privatize the Bilhorod-Dniester Sea trade port by the end of winter, said the head of the local branch of the State Property Fund, Oleksandr Slavskyi. The port’s privatization was planned before the start of the war due to its unprofitability. The Bilhorod-Dniester port is located on the western bank of the Dniester estuary and has been used by Ukraine since April as a logistics center for the Danube ports. It receives cargo in trucks and transfers it to railcars. In only six months of 2022, the company handled more cargo than it has in the last three years due to Black Sea seaport blockade. Moreover, an auction for the sale of another port asset, the Progress enterprise near Odesa, is scheduled for January 31.
