More than UAH 60 million has been allocated to repair the berth in the port of Chornomorsk. The work will eliminate long-term damage and improve the port's operational capabilities.
This is evidenced by data from the Prozorro procurement system.
The Chornomorsk seaport administration has announced a tender for the overhaul of berth 9 with an expected cost of UAH 61.4 million. The berth has been in operation for over 60 years and has significant damage that limits its full use. The repairs will eliminate problems and improve the facility's operational capabilities. The works are expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.
The press service noted that despite the constant threats and shelling from Russia, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority will continue to modernize the port infrastructure. This allows to maintain the stable operation of maritime logistics, ensure the export of Ukrainian products and maintain Ukraine's key role in world trade.
The tender is open until September 23, 2025, and the electronic auction is scheduled for September 24, 2025. The winner will have to provide a bank guarantee for 5% of the contract value and fulfill all the conditions in accordance with the tender documents.
Chornomorsk has also recently launched a public-private partnership to modernize the port' s key terminals and restore container traffic. The project covers the First and Container Terminals with six deep-water berths and full infrastructure. The territory and property will remain state-owned, and the investor will invest capital, modernize the facilities and manage them under a long-term contract. The expected amount of revenues to the budgets of various levels over 40 years exceeds USD 1.1 billion.
