Odessa Sea Trading Port, Ukraine’s largest seaport, recently completed construction of two new complexes that promise to help boost its import‑export capacity.
The port told the Post that the new construction is valued at $60 million.
The port said it had completed work on a $27 million deep‑water wharf and a grain export facility valued at about $30 million. The new wharf will allow the port to accommodate ships with a load‑carrying capacity of more than 75,000 tons, larger than it could handle before. The grain export terminal will enable the port to handle an additional 2.6 million tons of grain per year, effectively doubling its current trans‑shipment capacity.
Both complexes were built in conjunction with Brooklyn‑Kyiv, a longtime partner of the port, and Ukrelevatorprom.
“The new grain export facility is the largest in the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins,” port Chairman Mykola Pavlyuk said in a statement. He said that construction of the facility began in January.
