Currently, five large companies are showing interest in concession projects in the Chornomorsk seaport.
Ukraine, together with the IFC and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), is working on the preparation of concession projects, Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov said at the Conference on the Reconstruction of Ukraine (URC2023) in London.
“One of the key ones are projects in the Black Sea port. And we are already observing interest in them from the five largest companies,” Kubrakov noted, adding that they intend to participate in the relevant competitions at the end of the year.
As Interfax-Ukraine writes, Kubrakov also noted that 80% of Ukraine’s reconstruction projects have been structured so far.
It was previously reported that the Ministry of Reconstruction is preparing the first and fifth terminals of the Chornomorsk sea trade port for concession. This process began even before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. Maersk also previously confirmed interest in the concession of the port’s container terminal.
