Interview

The port industry is one of the main links of the Ukrainian economy, which is currently forced to operate in extremely difficult conditions. About losses due to the war, competition between ports, challenges in the field of container transportation, as well as investments in the port industry and infrastructure, USM spoke with the head of the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, Oleksandr Semyrha.

Currently, the Orlivka ferry complex works as a crossing, checkpoint and, at the same time, a cargo terminal. The war also affected the nomenclature of cargo handled at the berths of the complex.

USM spoke with Maksym Lapay, Head of the Odesa branch of the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, about the career, the port and plans for the future.
