Transshipment of crud oil at the sea ports of Ukraine in January-September, 2010 increased by 10% over the same period last year, to 10 million 937 thousand tons, the country’s Ministry of Transport statistics said.
In the reporting period the volume of all types of ore transshipped at the seaports rose to 14 million 487 thousand tons (+7%) and coal - to 9 million 230 thousand tons (+0.9%).
The increased cargo turnover was due to a number of measures, the Ministry officials said, in particular, thanks to the scheme of additional loading of bulk carriers at Yuzhny port roads, using the scheme of "free practice" in the Odessa port, which allows the loading of ships before vessel inspection. In addition, the Transport Ministry eyes rebates on handling operations with crude oil at the domestic ports.
Earlier, the Transport Ministry had reported that freight turnover at 18 sea ports of the country in nine recent months amounted to 79,939.7 tons.
