Ports are key hubs of economic development. New projects in Ukraine are helping the country keep maritime commerce moving, with a major payoff for sustainable growth.
Ukraine’s Kherson port along the Black Sea has long been a hub for agricultural cargo hauling operations on the Dnipro river, the key water artery in Ukraine. However, in recent decades, the port’s berths have been underutilized due to outdated infrastructure. As such, much of the region’s cargo is transported overland by diesel trucks, contributing to carbon emissions.
