The evacuation of the fleet from the ports of Mykolaiv should solve the problem of the shortage of ships of the “river-sea” class and return the price of freight to the pre-war level.
Exports and development of logistics routes were discussed during a round table organized by the Ministry of Reconstruction. The event was attended by Mykhailo Rizak, director of interaction with authorities of Nibulon, the company’s press service reported.
According to him, in order to reduce the cost of logistics on the Danube River, the exercise of political influence and the organization of measures aimed at creating conditions for the withdrawal of the fleet currently blocked in the port hub of Mykolaiv are of critical importance.
“During 2022-2023, we saw an increase in the price of freight on the Danube River by more than three times, and today prices remain more than two times higher than in the pre-war period. It is the evacuation of the fleet from the Mykolaiv port hub that should solve the problem of the shortage of ships of the “river-sea” class and return the price of freight to the pre-war level,” said Mykhailo Rizak.
He also added that the availability of an evacuation tool will allow the shipbuilding industry of Ukraine, which has been completely stopped since the beginning of the war, to resume work.
