The Government prolongs activity to expand export capacity of ports on the Danube river, stressed the Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a Gov’t session on July 26.
“Currently, the Danube is one of the core export routes, and therefore the Government continues to enlarge its potential. Today we will adopt changes to the regulations on the border regime, thereby allowing the fleet to carry out bunkering operations, that is, to refuel ships right near the ports of Reni and Izmail. This will help us increase the speed and significantly facilitate the logistics of export-import cargo."
Denys Shmyhal accentuated that the new logistics routes and increasing of export potential of Ukraine were among the acute issues of today. According to the Head of Government, there have been achieved a lot in this direction: reached visa-free transport regime with the EU, cancelled customs duties and quotas for Ukrainian products when exported to Europe, Canada and Great Britain, opened new checkpoints on the western border of Ukraine.
