Ukraine plans to allocate over $100 million of its own funds for the implementation of large-scale projects aimed at restoring port infrastructure. As noted by the head of the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, Oleksandr Semirha, the funding will be used for the repair of berths, railway infrastructure, roads, buildings, and other facilities that have suffered damage or destruction.

“We are investing not only in concrete and metal. We are investing in technology,” Semirha added.
Main Directions for Port Modernization
Priorities for the Sea Ports Authority remain the development of infrastructure, the implementation of digital solutions, and the renewal of the technical fleet. Improving the efficiency of ports will strengthen Ukraine’s position in the international logistics market and ensure the stable operation of maritime transport.
New Grain Terminal in the ‘Pivdennyi’ Port
The investment company umgi, part of the SCM group, presented a project for a large-scale grain terminal at the ‘Pivdennyi’ port at the URC2025 forum. The planned annual throughput capacity of the terminal will be 9 million tons, and the facility will be able to accommodate Post-Panamax vessels at its own berths. The estimated cost of the project is $200 million. Due to its strategic location and modern infrastructure, this complex will become an important element for the export of Ukrainian agricultural products and the strengthening of the country’s trade positions.
According to estimates by umgi, the investment potential of key sectors of Ukraine’s economy over the next ten years could exceed $300 billion.
