Seaports boost cargo processing 2.2 times to 7 million tons in July

In July 2024, Ukrainian seaports increased cargo processing 2.2 times year over year to 7 million tons.

This follows from a statement by the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA), the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"In total, 7 million tons of cargo were transshipped in July 2024, up 2.2 times year over year. Of them, 4.2 million tons of agricultural products were exported to 46 countries of the world," the message says.

In the first seven months of 2024, Ukrainian ports boosted cargo handling by 74% year over year to 59.9 million tons.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, 60 million tons of goods were exported through the Ukrainian sea corridor in 11 months.

On September 21, 2023, the bulk carrier Resilient Africa arrived in the Turkish Bosphorus Strait.

This is the first ship with grain from Ukraine that passed through the Black Sea through the temporary corridor.
