Ukraine plans to invest over $100 million of its own funds in the restoration and modernization of maritime port infrastructure. As reported by the head of the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, Oleksandr Semirha, these funds will be directed towards the repair of berths, railway lines, roads, buildings, and a number of other facilities that have been damaged or destroyed.

“We are investing not only in concrete and metal. We are investing in technology,” Semirha added.
Focus on critical infrastructure and digitalization
The priority areas for the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority remain enhancing infrastructure efficiency, implementing digital solutions, and updating the specialized technical fleet. This approach allows not only for the restoration of damaged facilities but also for ensuring their competitiveness in the future.
New grain terminal at the Pivdennyi port
In addition to state investments, private funds are also being actively attracted to the sector. The investment company umgi, part of the SCM group, presented a large-scale project for the construction of a grain terminal at the Pivdennyi port at the URC2025 forum. The planned annual throughput capacity of the terminal will be 9 million tons, and its own berths will allow it to accommodate Post-Panamax class vessels. The implementation of this project is estimated at $200 million.
Thanks to its advantageous location and modern logistics infrastructure, the new terminal will become an important link in the chain of exporting Ukrainian agricultural products to global markets.
Experts from umgi note that the overall investment potential of key sectors of Ukraine’s economy over the next ten years could exceed $300 billion.
