This was proclaimed by Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Vladyslav Kryklii at an international conference summoned by UkraineInvest.

Also, MIU gets ready for privatisation the ports of Bilhorod Dnistrovsky, Ust Dunaisk, and Skadovsk.

NB by Interlegal: Mr Kryklii meant of course the public stevedore companies officially named State Enterprise NN Sea Commercial Port, not the entire infrastructure objects.
