The Ministry of Development and Infrastructure announced the results of the preliminary selection of candidates for the competition for the concession of the First and Container Terminals of the Port of Chornomorsk.

The results of the preliminary selection of candidates for the competition were announced by the Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine – Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba.

Four candidates were admitted to the next stage of the competition:

• Yilport Holding Anonim Şirketi;

• the Abu Dhabi Ports Company PJSC and SKF Holdings UK LTD consortium.

“For the first time during the war, we are implementing a large-scale strategic public-private partnership project. And even in such conditions, we see high interest from international and Ukrainian business. Among the companies participating in the competition are some of the largest port operators in the world. This is a clear signal that business is ready to invest in Ukraine when it sees clear rules, high-quality projects and a real partnership with the state,” emphasized Oleksiy Kuleba.

Currently, the competition is at the competitive dialogue stage. The project has the potential to become the largest investment in the history of Ukrainian ports and attract hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure development.Earlier, USM reported that at URC 2026 they presented a concession for a ferry terminal in the port of Chornomorsk.
