"The volume of dredging works during 2021, carried out exclusively by the USPA, amounted to 3.6 million cubic meters – work was carried out in almost all Ukrainian seaports, water areas and canals," Acting Head of the USPA Oleksandr Holodnytsky said during a briefing at a press center of Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.
He also said that in the last days of 2021, merchant shipping was restored in Skadovsk port, in which there were no ship calls for about a year and a half.
In addition, according to Holodnytsky, as of the end of 2021, a navigable channel of the Dnipro River corresponded to the passport depths.
As reported, Ukrainian seaports handled 153.076 million tonnes of cargo in 2021, which is 3.8% less than in 2020.
