Mostyska Container Terminal (Mostyska Dry Port) handled more than 72.4 thousand TEU of containerized cargo in 2023. This is what the company report states in the Press Release .
Last year, the consolidated volume of general, bulk and liquid cargo movement increased to 286 thousand tons, highlighting:
- grains – 122 thousand tons;
- bulk – 62 thousand tons;
- general – 35 thousand tons;
- bulk cargo – 37 thousand tons.
Furthermore, the terminal has a new flow of cargo – electric vehicles. In 2023, the terminal received 36 containers and unloaded 108 vehicles.
«The availability of modern infrastructure and equipment, the optimal use of production capacities and the professional approach of employees allowed us to successfully transship all declared cargo through the terminal in 2023 and set personal records. We expect deeper integration and an increase in EU cargo traffic, as well as an increase in the level of containerization,” said the CEO of Mostyska Dry Port,” said Mostyska Dry Port General Director Dmytro Kobzar .
The main growth in cargo traffic occurred in the second half of the year. The cargo was sent mainly to Asia, through European ports, as well as to Poland, Italy and Germany. The reasons for the growth in transshipment volumes include the reorientation of shipping companies and the establishment of operations through Polish ports; development of production facilities; provision of new services; and a high level of service.
The company's total investment last year is estimated at more than 100 million UAH. The amount of taxes paid to all budgets of Ukraine reached 27.66 million UAH.
«Despite the war, we did not stop and continued to invest in the Ukrainian economy. In 2024, we aim to increase the terminal's production capacity by expanding the areas operated for container movement and storage, as well as actively developing container transport between the terminal and EU countries as an alternative to road transport", summarized Dmytro Kobzar .
As the GMK Center previously reported, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) plans to allocate 225 million dollars for the construction of the European gauge railway from Mostyska to Lviv. The construction of a 75 km long double-track railway section will connect Lviv, which is expected to become one of the main railway hubs in western Ukraine, to the EU's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
