Six logistics hubs are to be built by Ukrainian railway operator – Ukrzaliznytsia. Kovel, located 65 km away from the border with Poland, was found to be a promising location as one of the most powerful railway junctions in Western Ukraine. The hub has two major conveniences - easy access from the territory of Ukraine and available capacities. In addition, the hubs are planned to be located in Chop and Mukachevo, near Lviv and in Central Ukraine.
River transport is a promising segment, as well. In 2019, river vessels were used for the first time to deliver sunflower oil for export. The growth of grain exports contributes to the development of river logistics; so, we are about to see new vessels transporting grain by river.
