The new contract will ensure the full loading of the Yuzhny port due to the guaranteed volumes of transshipment of iron ore raw materials by the mining and metallurgical company. Thanks to the signed contract, the port not only ensured uninterrupted operation, but it is also important that the cost of the transshipment itself increased immediately by 33%.
“Large contracts with the largest Ukrainian and international companies are what allow state-owned ports to grow rapidly. We expect that there will be more such agreements, because for the state it is an increase in budget revenues, and for private companies, it is an increase in the quality of service, ”commented Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov.
