The Port of Odesa can be included to the UNESCO World Heritage List

The center of Odesa, which includes the territory of the Odesa MTP is planned to be included to the UNESCO protection zone.

The Odesa port can be included in the UNESCO world heritage list, as well as all cranes, elevators, loaders and a modern marine terminal.

“If UNESCO recognizes the territory presented in the nomination file as a World Heritage Site, the development of the port can be put to rest. It simply cannot happen,” Dumska reports.

The status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site adds to the guarantee of its preservation, so there is a high possibility that modernization or changes in the port after the granting of such status may be difficult or impossible.
