Ukrainian ports record steady growth in cargo turnover

In October 2024, 8 million tons of cargo passed through the seaports of Ukraine, which is 60% more than last year.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority. 

The basis of cargo traffic in the ports of Ukraine is traditionally formed by agricultural products and ore. Thus, the volume of grain cargo transshipment in October amounted to 5 million tons, exceeding last year’s figure by 1.5 million tons.

“Impressive dynamics were also demonstrated by ore cargo, reaching 1.4 million tons, which is more than twice the result of October 2023,” the department noted.

In October, 6.8 million tons of cargo passed through the Ukrainian sea corridor, of which 4.5 million tons were grain.

In total, from January to October this year, the total cargo turnover of Ukrainian ports reached 82.3 million tons, almost twice as much as in the same period last year (46.1 million tons).

We will remind you that, according to the Ministry of Economy, in October 2024, Ukraine set an annual record for exports of goods, exporting products worth $3.8 billion, which is 18.7% more than in September. Total exports since the beginning of the year reached $34.6 billion.
