Ukrainian seaports handled almost 52.7 million tons of cargo in the first half of the year

In January-June of this year, according to the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA), Ukrainian ports handled almost 52.7 million tons of cargo, compared to 31.3 million tons in the same period in 2023.

Of this volume, 33.5 million tons were products of Ukrainian farmers.

In June of this year, Ukrainian seaports handled 6.7 million tons of cargo (4.1 million tons were agricultural products), which is 30% more than in the same period of 2023.

In the 10 months of operation of the Ukrainian sea corridor (since August 2023), it has transported a record amount of cargo – 55 million tons. During this period, 1954 vessels were loaded.

At the same time, Ukrainian seaports handled 1.5 million tons of iron ore in May 2024, compared to 241 thousand tons in May 2023. In total, 8.26 million tons of cargo were handled during the month, almost twice as much as in the same period last year. Grain accounts for the largest volume of cargo turnover, followed by iron ore. In May this year, cargo turnover through the Ukrainian sea corridor amounted to 6.7 million tons, of which 4.5 million tons were products of Ukrainian farmers.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2023, Ukrainian ports increased cargo transshipment by 5% y/y – to 62 million tons, with iron ore transshipment accounting for 5.9% of the total cargo turnover, or 1.9 million tons. This can be considered the beginning of the industry’s recovery after a difficult 2022, when port cargo turnover fell by 2.6 times compared to pre-war 2021.
