SE Berdyansk Commercial Sea Port (Zaporizhia oblast) is ready to invest 10 mln USD in construction of a grain terminal, and use the experience of the city Gdańsk in Poland, declared the Head of the port, Nikolai Ilyin on October 11.
The port is a public company, and it is ready to take investments. The port can provide an opportunity to invest in two berths. But first of all, the authorities have to create the required conditions, because investors are not interested in putting money in construction of new berths, and then transfer them to the public ownership with recovery of expenses.
According to N.Ilyin, the port accounts have 10 mln USD for construction of a grain terminal in the coming year. The port is waiting for the reaction of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Cabinet of Ministers.
The Head of the port said that after reforming of the maritime industry in Poland, there were created the maximum conditions to invest in the ports. Polish and foreign stevedoring companies are private structures that operate on separate cargo districts, and state-owned port authorities operate with port lands and waters. In the process of privatization, the legislator provided all requirements to protect the interest of the government and the company's employees.
