Since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian seaports have handled more than 15 million tons of cargo, ProAgro Group reports.

The main cargo flow is processed by the Greater Odesa ports, which handled 14.5 million tons of cargo this year, including 8.5 million tons of grain exports. Meanwhile, Danube ports processed 1.1 million tons of cargo, including 221 thousand tons of grain.

Since September 2023, almost 179 million tons of cargo have been transported through the Ukrainian maritime corridor, including 107 million tons of grain. During this period, 7,087 vessels have been handled.

According to Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine Oleksii Kuleba, port workers continue operating under constant security risks.

“Behind every ton of cargo stands the daily work of people operating under the constant threat of attacks. Port workers, sailors, logistics specialists, and engineers ensure vessel traffic and the fulfillment of export contracts under extremely difficult conditions,” he said.

Russia continues to target port infrastructure. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 726 port infrastructure facilities and 153 civilian vessels have been damaged or partially destroyed, while 238 civilians have been injured.

In 2026 alone, 63 port infrastructure facilities and seven civilian vessels have already been damaged.

Despite ongoing attacks, Ukrainian ports continue to operate, ensuring stable cargo transshipment and supporting both the national economy and global supply chains.

As we previously reported, logistics remains a key challenge for Ukraine’s agricultural sector. Before the war, 94% of agricultural exports were shipped through Black Sea ports, but since 2022 Ukraine has been forced to redirect exports to alternative routes. The restoration of the Black Sea shipping corridor has become critically important; however, ongoing attacks on port infrastructure continue to create risks and additional costs for businesses.
