Ukraine’s part ownership of a container port on the Saigon River, a legacy of the Soviet era, could become a logistics hub for Ukraine’s exports to Asia, Viktor Dovhan, deputy infrastructure minister, tells the Center for Transportation Technologies. Last week, Dovhan toured the port, which is on the southern edge of Ho Chi Minh City, 43 nautical miles from the confluence of the Saigon River and the South China Sea. In 1991, Black Sea Shipping Co. – now Blasco-ChMP – bought 38% of the port of Lotos. With a 100,000 square meter patio for containers, Lotos “opens up convenient routes of communication with the global Eastern business activity centers – Singapore and Hong Kong,” Dovhan said.
