The newly elected leader noted that the maritime and port industry is currently undergoing a difficult transformation due to war, blockade, shelling, and energy restrictions. According to Barinov, Ukraine’s unique experience operating within the sea corridor regime allows it to be shared with the international community.
💬 “I believe that Ukrport should become a modern, professional, and influential association—a service for its members, a consolidated voice for the industry, and a reliable partner for the government and the international port community. Much work lies ahead,” he stated.
