Government Considering Fundamentals of Ukrainian Sea Ports Development Strategy till 2038

10 Апр

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has contemplated the basics of Air Transport Strategy of Ukraine till 2030 and Sea Ports Development Strategy till 2038. Implementation of these instruments is going to secure not only development of the very ports, but also new jobs, cargo handling techniques renovation and growth of passenger flow.

Ukraine is properly connected to the world, and we have every possibility for developing our infrastructure and compete with neighbours in logistics and transport services quality. This was said by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groisman during the meeting of Government’s Strategic Committee. It was dedicated, among others, to the matters of long-term transport development – in particular, port infrastructure and aviation sector.

“It is extremely important that the economy should grow and we could offer transport services of high quality. This is the support of our national economy. It is vital that the strategies should be predictable and long- sighted. A clear answer is required: how we are going to develop airports, sea ports, and dominate as a state properly connected to the world, said Volodymyr Groisman. We have really begun growing and it has to be accelerated.”

Head of Government has also drawn attention to the fact that the Customs reform started by Government can serve the infrastructure development as well. If there emerge opportunities of maximally fast cargo clearance, it should certainly come the state’s competitive advantage, Head of Government is sure.

What could be also positive is involving local authorities in ports development projects, including airports. “We need to unite the country by domestic air traffic, too”, noted Volodymyr Groisman.
