ADVANTAGES OF DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SEA HUB PORT
Comparative analysis of construction of a new sea port complex and modernization of an existing port
Construction of a new Sea HUB port |
Modernization of an the existing port |
applying new technologies |
limited opportunities in changing technologies in case of modernizing old ports |
It's easier to build than to re-build |
|
Port is a private property |
Port itself stays in the state property |
|
|
Possible to choose a big enough land for all required infrastructure of port |
Impossible to expand the territory of port because it’s surrounded by cities |
Possible to have a depth near the piers and approach channels of 18 m and to accommodate the large-capacity vessels |
Waters of existing ports are not deep enough (up to 14.5 m) |
Possible to provide a necessary land transport entrances to the port terminals |
Impossible to increase the capacity of the post by developing land transport entrances to the port terminals from the main railway and, even more, highways as ports are up tight by the cities |

- The Black Sea Ring Highway is planned to be constructed next to the Project territory.
- The Danube delta is located to the south-west not far from Odessa.
- The Dnister mouth is located next to the Complex.
- An easy access to the Dnipro and Yuzhny Bug rivers along the sea coast makes it possible to employ the cheaper river transport.
