The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority reports that the Ukraine-EU business summit discussed the restoration of Ukraine through the prism of European reindustrialization.
At the panel discussion dedicated to the port industry development, USPA Chairman Oleksandr Semyrga presented a vision for restoration and modernization of Ukrainian port infrastructure both in wartime and in the long-term perspective.
He focused on the development of the Danube ports as strategic multimodal hubs, as well as the need to restore the damaged infrastructure of the Greater Odesa ports.
Oleksandr Semyrga emphasized, “Today, it is important to build up sustainable partnerships and to strengthen cooperation with the international community. Jointly with the restoration of infrastructure, we are creating a foundation for a modern, competitive, and innovative port system of Ukraine”.
In particular, the USPA confirmed its readiness to implement investment projects in the framework of public-private partnerships, concession mechanisms, and with the support of international financial organizations.
Special attention was drawn to integration of Ukrainian ports into the TEN-T network aimed to strengthen transport sustainability of Europe.
It should be noted that at the seminar “Investments in Ukrainian Ports: Strengthening the Role as Intermodal Hubs” the delegates presented a list of specific initiatives with a high degree of preparation that can be implemented in the short-term prospect.
