The aim of the project is to create a partnership between Sweden and Ukraine in the field of integration of Ukrainian ports with EU: s transport system.
Part of the challenge lies in the consequences of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, where trade volume from seaports went from 60 percent to 20 percent, severing vital links to the global economy. Part also lies in the need to reconstruct and modernise Ukrainian ports, in order to support the domestic economy but also aid EU integration.
The project is composed of several activities: preparing a needs analysis; meetings with potential Ukrainian partners; monitoring of funding opportunities; project partners meetings and a study visit to a Baltic port.
