With Egypt often ranking as Ukraine’s second largest wheat market

With Egypt often ranking as Ukraine’s second largest wheat market, the port administrations of Ukraine, Alexandria and Damietta Egypt are creating a working group to raise cargo turnover above today’s level of 4.5 million tons. At a bilateral economic development meeting in Kyiv, Igor Tkachuk, head of the Odssa Branch of the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, also expressed interest in the revival of passenger shipping between Odesa and Alexandria. Cargo freighters can sail the 2,035 km between the two ports in two and a half days.
