More than 20 companies are bidding for concession of the two ports.

Ukrainian seaports handled over 61.4 million tons of cargo in the first five months of 2019, which is almost 7 million tons or 13% more than they handled in the corresponding period of last year.
The port operates as a special economic zone, which allows it to allocate territory for implementation of investment projects.

Major global companies have become more interested in Ukrainian ports in the past year.
Ukrainian seaports handled 48.8 million tons of cargo in the first four months of 2019.
