Ukrainian ports

Ukrainian ports, including the Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Greater Odesa ports, are strategically vital facilities that enable Ukrainian goods to reach global markets via the Black Sea. Mykolaiv ports specialize in exporting grain, metals, oil, and other agricultural and industrial goods, handling a substantial portion of the country's cargo shipments. Despite the temporary occupation of parts of its territory, Kherson ports remain essential for regional logistics. The Greater Odesa ports, comprising the Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi ports, form Ukraine's largest maritime transport hub. These ports are crucial for Ukraine’s economy, as they handle major export flows of agricultural products and industrial cargo. During the war, the ports have faced blockades, shelling, and other disruptions, significantly impacting their operations and Ukraine’s logistics overall.
