Ukraine - 2 Logistics Infrastructure

Ukraine - 2 Logistics Infrastructure

Overview of the current situation:

The transportation logistics infrastructure in Ukraine is well-developed and organized, covering the four main shipment options – air, sea, surface, and rail. After the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, transportation logistics has been limited mainly to road and rail. No commercial flights take place during the war and sea transportation is de facto blocked by the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. After July 16, 2023, Russian officials announced that no ships were allowed to enter or exit Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea. However, some vessels manage to navigate to and from the Ukrainian ports through the special humanitarian corridors arranged by the Ukrainian armed forces disregarding the ban imposed by Russia.

As of August of 2023, about 109 thousand square kilometres of Ukrainian territory are occupied by Russia and thus not accessible from Ukraine by any means of transport. Active hostilities take place along nearly 1500km of the front making nearby territories unreachable.

The war has damaged all types of Ukrainian logistics infrastructure disrupting the entire industries. For example, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam made river transport on the Dnipro River below the city of Zaporizhzhia impossible.

Road Infrastructure

Roads cover the entire country with a total length of 165,000 km, of which approximately 80% are roads with hard (asphalt) surfaces.

In 2022 the war led to the damage of over 25,000 km of the roads and destruction of over 330 bridges. As the war continues, more infrastructure objects are destroyed.

For many roads, the road surface condition is often below acceptable standard which reduces the speed of the traffic and subsequently increases cargo transit time. Worth noting that unpaved roads, connecting remote village areas are mainly not paved and present potential challenges for access after excessive rains or snowfalls. It is expected that during the war the road infrastructure will continue deteriorating even though some road construction projects take place even during the war.

The very solid bases for government-private transport contracting are established, guaranteeing the access of the private sector to the transportation business, thus, ensuring competitiveness in the market and relatively stabilized market prices.

Railway

Countrywide network (over 2000 stations in the country and geographical distribution between 6 regional branches – Lviv, Donetsk, Odesa, Pivdenna, Pivdenno-Zahidna and Prydniprovska). Large parts of the Donetsk and Prydniprovska railways are occupied and utilized by the Russians mainly for military logistics and the other regions are utilised by passenger traffic.

Ukraine still has a link between seaports and production areas through railways, however, this link is underutilized during the war due to the port blockade. 

During the war, railway logistics plays a crucial role in both military and civil logistics replacing sea and air transportation where it can.

Ukraine - 2.1 Port Assessment

Port and Waterways

Ukraine has 18 sea trade ports and 12 sea terminals on the coasts of the Black and Azov seas. All Ukrainian Sea ports are state-owned. 9 major ports of Ukraine are currently occupied by Russia (including all ports on the Azov Sea and ports in the Crimea):

  • Mariupol
  • Berdyansk
  • Genichesk
  • Skadovsk
  • Yevpatoriya
  • Sevastopol
  • Yalta
  • Feodosia
  • Kerch

 

The largest Ukrainian ports along the Black Sea coast – Chornomorsk, Odesa, Pivdennyi – are operational, but partly damaged. Ports along the Dnipro River – Kherson, Mykolaiv – are blocked by the Russian army and navy. As of September 2023, only a few vessels managed to penetrate the blockade.

Other partially operational ports are located along the Danube River: Izmail, Reni, Ust-Dunaisk. These ports – like all other Ukrainian ports – were attacked by Russian forces since the start of the war and sustained some damage. While they remain operational, these ports have only a fraction of the capacity of the larger ports in Ukraine and cannot compensate for the loss or blockade of other ports.

 

Pre-war capacity

 

The overall berthing space available across the 18 major seaports in Ukraine was more than 38 km, consisting of about 11 km for bulk and dry-bulk cargo; about 15 km for all types of general cargo; 4.5 km for passenger operations; 1.5 km for liquid cargo; and 4 km for auxiliary functions. These 18 ports were equipped with over 600 gantry cranes, approximately 1,500 forklift trucks of various types, and over 400 other units of port machinery. The ports have more than 500,000 m2 of covered warehousing and more than 2.5 million m2 of open storage/yard space. 

 

The busiest of these sea trade ports were – and still are – Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi: about 60% of all goods turnover is managed through these main ports, offering the best sea approach ways and accommodating large vessels with draft ranging from 11.5 m to about 14 m.

 

The major container terminals were – and still are – Odessa and Chornomorsk ports. 

 

There are other types of ports located in the largest Ukrainian rivers of Dnepr and Pivdennyi, namely Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Olivia ports that used to operate for bulk and general cargo. 

 

On the coast of the Crimean Peninsula, the ports of Sevastopol, Yalta, Feodosiysky, and Kerch are located. These ports were intended for the service and transportation needs of Crimea. 

 

On the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, Berdyansk and Mariupol Sea Trade Ports are located, with proximity to the most industrially developed regions of Ukraine – Donbas and Prydniprovya. The ports were mainly used for the export of metal and other production of these regions. 

 

Ukraine has also 3 sea trade ports in the lower reaches of Dunai – Izmail, Reni and Ust-Dunaysky, serving mainly the needs of countries along the Dunabe.

 

Ukraine has 10 river ports, the majority of which are privately owned. There are several rivers suitable for navigation in Ukraine, such as Dnipro, Dunai, Southern Bug, and Dniester.

The main river of Ukraine and the main internal waterway is Dnipro, which runs in the middle of the country from North to South and provides access to the largest seaports of Ukraine. Due to the draw- bridges on the Dnipro River, there are limitations for river navigation: in Dnipro city and Kremenchuk, the height of fairway arches is 8.5 and 9.6 m respectively. The height of the fairway arches of the Kherson bridge is 17.2 meters. The allowed draft of vessels on Dnipro is 3.65m and limited to 3m in the upper part of the river. The draft of the Kyiv reservoir is limited to 2.65m.

 

Most recent events

 

On 06 June 2023, the Kakhovka dam was destroyed, making river transport downstream from Zaporizhzhia impossible. This stretch of the Dnipro River was the busiest in terms of vessel traffic. Restoration of river traffic there is expected to take years.

Ukraine - 2.1.2 Port of Ilichevsk (Chornomorsk)

 

Port Overview

Situated on the NW shore of the Black Sea, approximately 25km SW from Odesa City. The port is open all year round. Icebreaker assistance is occasionally required in severe winters.

Leading Lights of the Sukhoy Liman should be followed when proceeding to port. A traffic separation scheme is in operation for the vessels approaching from the SE, and is indicated on the charts.

There is a traffic roundabout where the onward route to Odessa branches NNW. The approach channel is 1200 m long, 140 m wide, and 13.5 meters deep. Speed is limited to 6 knots. The draught of inbound vessels must not exceed 11.5 meters.

Largest Vessel: Max permissible length is 280 m, max d 11.8 m.

 

During the war the port Chornomorsk was one of the key participants of the grain initiative that enabled sea grain export from Ukraine. However, starting from 17 July 2023, the initiative was terminated by Russia and the port became de facto blocked with no vessels arriving or departing. In July 2023 the port was attacked by multiple Russian rockets. On 19 July 2023 over 60 thousand tons of grain was destroyed in the port because of the Russian rocket attack. The degree of port infrastructure destruction is not disclosed.

Key airport information is available at: World Aero Data Website

Ukraine inherited a significant aircraft manufacturing industry from the USSR, with the Antonov aircraft plant and related factories as its main component. Ukrainian and EU aerospace industries have a major interest in increasing their cooperation. The envisaged agreement could create a new framework for industrial aviation relations between the Ukraine and the EU which could accompany the restructuring and modernisation of the Ukrainian aerospace industry.

 

Ukrainian civil aviation was completely halted after the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. No commercial flights have taken place since then. Although there are plans to resume at least some flights from the Lviv airport even during the war, it is unclear if these plans can be realized. Airports and airfields have been a major targets of the Russian missile and rocket attacks from day 1 of the full-scale invasion. Civil aviation infrastructure has been seriously damaged, but the scale of damage is not made public. The following chapters reflect the pre-war 2022 snapshot of the Ukrainian aviation industry. It is obvious that the war changed the landscape of Ukrainian aviation, and the post-war industry will look differently both in terms of airlines and airports.

 

Kyiv-Boryspil (KBP) was the largest Ukrainian airport servicing close to 60% of the country's commercial air traffic. Over 9.4 million passengers flew through Boryspil in 2021, which was a 62% growth over the COVID-impacted 2020. There were 45 operating civil airports (including heliports) in Ukraine. Out of them, 14 airports received domestic flights from Kyiv the capital of Ukraine on a regular basis. 14 airports have been assigned international status:

  • Boryspil (Kyiv) (damaged)
  • Dnipro (destroyed)
  • Zaporizhzhia (destroyed)
  • Ivano-Frankivsk (destroyed)
  • Kyiv (Zhulyzny) (damaged)
  • Kryvyi Rih (damaged)
  • Lviv
  • Mykolaiv (destroyed)
  • Odesa (damaged)
  • Rivne (damaged)
  • Uzhhorod
  • Kharkiv (destroyed)
  • Vinnytsya (damaged)
  • Chernivtsi

The following airports covered were capable of handling wide-body passenger aircraft and heavy freighters:

 

Kyiv (Boryspil Airport) was considered as the main international air hub of the country with all related services and facilities available for offloading, handling, storing and clearing of the humanitarian cargoes. The airport has a large storage capacity, and transportation means and can be easily accessed from the capital for any follow-up work with freight documentation, diplomatic clearances, etc. Close to the Boryspil airport there are other commercial facilities available, including those of DHL, Medical Enterprise “Ukr Vaktsina” with cold storage for medicines, storage facilities and freight transit centre of Raben Ukraine among others.

 

The following airports can be considered for delivery of humanitarian cargo:

Air Carriers

Currently, due to the war, no air carriers can operate in Ukraine. The fleet of airliners used by the carriers are either locked in the Ukrainian airports or returned to the leasers abroad. It is not clear if the Ukrainian air carriers are able to resume their operations after the war. Some of the air carriers managed to operate in foreign aviation markets (e.g. SkyUp operates in the EU), but most of them are in a hibernate state with uncertain future.

 

All air carriers listed in the table below are duly registered by the Civil Aviation Authorities of Ukraine for provision of the air transportation services on domestic and international routes.

Ukraine - 2.3 Road Network

Overview

Ukraine’s advantageous geographical position makes it a hub for the transit of goods and passengers between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. International transport corridors passing through Ukraine reach a total length of over 5 thousand km.

Before the Russian invasion in 2022, the share of road transport in total cargo transportation was over 75% followed by rail with less than 19% (measured by tonnes transported). Passenger road transportation in 2021 was estimated at over 1500 million passengers, which is substantially higher than any other means of transportation (for comparison, rail transport is estimated at 81 million passengers).  

Today the country’s transportation infrastructure includes approximately 169,000 km of highways (165,000 km of which are roads with hard surfaces) covering the entire territory of the country. International roads account for about 5% of all roads in Ukraine. Smaller regional roads tend to have substantially worse pavement conditions with numerous potholes and other defects.

For many years road infrastructure was deteriorating. In 2019 more than 90% of roads in Ukraine were considered unfit for safe usage. In the following two years the road infrastructure renovation effort called “Large construction” started to actively renovate the roads with about 14 thousand km of roads built or restored in 2020 and 2021. After the start of the  invasion of the Russian troops in February of 2022 over 25,000 km of roads were destroyed due to hostilities (9,000 km of which are national highways). Over 340 road infrastructure objects such as bridges were destroyed and only 76 of them have been restored. Conditions of the roads that were not directly affected by the hostilities are also deteriorating due to a lack of adequate maintenance and increased pavement wear caused by the transportation of heavy military equipment.

It is expected that road construction and renovation efforts will be resumed after the war as adequate road infrastructure is pivotal for economic development.

The international transport corridors that pass through Ukraine include:

  • Pan-European Transport Corridor III, with the route Berlin – Wroclaw– Lviv – Kyiv and a length of 1640 km, from which 694 km are railways and 611 km are highways across Ukraine
  • Pan-European Transport Corridor V, which links Trieste and Lviv via Ljubljana, Budapest and Uzhhorod with a total length of 1595 km, from which 266 km of highways and 338.7 km of railways pass through Ukraine.
  • Pan European Transport Corridor IX, with a total length of 3400 km and a route passing through Helsinki – St. Petersburg – Vitebsk – Kyiv – Odesa – Plovdiv – Bucharest – Alexandroupolis. In Ukraine, Pan European Transport Corridor IX consists of 1496 km of railways and 996 km of highways.
  • Gdansk – Odesa International Transport Corridor, with a length of 1816 km and passing through Poland and Ukraine. In Ukraine, this international transport corridor consists of 918 km of railways and 1208 km of highways.

During the war transit through these transport corridors is impossible, but it is expected to restore after the end of the war.

Ukraine - 2.4 Railway Assessment

Railway Assessment

Ukrainian Railways is the state railway network operator in Ukraine, a monopoly that controls the railroad transportation in the country with a combined total length of track of over 24,000 km.

Key information is available at: http://uz.gov.ua/en/

Before the invasion in 2022, annual passenger flow was about 150 million (out of which 20 million were long-distance trips), and cargo flow was over 300 million tonnes.

In 2022 cargo flow decreased by over 52% to 150 million tonnes. In 2022 there were 16.9 million long-distance passenger trips. Another 4 million passengers were evacuated. About 2 million passengers crossed the EU border.

Due to the war, the part of the railway network occupied by the Russian forces is currently disconnected from the Ukrainian railway system.

 

 

 

Ukraine - 2.5 Waterways Assessment

Waterways Assessment

Ukraine has high potential navigable rivers - over 4,000 km: there are traditional waterways of the Dnipro river - 1,205 km and its tributaries (Desna- 520 km, Pripyat - 60 km) and Danube - 160 km, Southern Bug - 155 km, and other so-called small rivers.

The Dnipro River and its major tributaries Desna and Pripyat carried out to 90% of total transport. The remaining 10% are the Danube and other rivers (Desna, Dniester, Southern Bug, Seversky Donets, Ingulets, Vorskla, etc.).

Since Ukraine gained independence in 1991 until the invasion of the Russian army in 2022, the length of river waterways decreased almost two-fold (from 4,000 km to 2,100 km). At the same time, the density of river shipping routes reduced by 1.75 times; the intensity of freight transport - by 4,3 times, and passenger transportation - by 7.5 times.

After the beginning of the Russian invasion, water transport through the Dnipro River nearly stopped. The areas of the most active cargo traffic near the river mouse were either captured or located too close to the front line for any cargo operations. Also, cross-border water traffic between Ukraine and Belarus was stopped.

On 06 June 2023, the dam on the Dnipro River near Nova Kakhovka was fully destroyed leading to the shallowing of the large Kakhovka water reservoir and flooding of large territories down the river stream. The dam destruction had multiple long-term consequences for water logistics:

  • No shipping canal on the Dnipro downstream from the Zaporizhzhia dam including the connection to the Black Sea;
  • Destruction of major river port facilities in Kherson and Mykolaiv due to flooding.

As a result, it is hard to predict when full-scale water transportation on the Dnipro can resume even after the war ends. Taking into account the decline in cargo traffic even before the war (60 mln tonnes in 1990; 14 million tonnes in 2020), it is uncertain if the cargo traffic on Dnipro will resume.

At the same time, the blockade of the Black Sea ports of the Odesa region started by the Russian army on 22 July 2022, boosted demand for river transportation on the Danube. This alternative route can accommodate at least some of the Ukrainian exports even though its capacity is fairly limited compared to the seaports. The total capacity of the Ukrainian ports on the Danube is around 20 million tonnes. The new expansion projects may increase the capacity to 25 million tonnes by 2024. For comparison, the seaport Pivdenny can handle over 60 million tonnes of cargo per year.

Company Information

Only a few companies operate on rivers. During the war the water transport on Dnipro is de-facto stalled. The information below is relevant to the pre-war state of affairs. The landscape may change dramatically after the war due to changes in logistics strategy and/or damage to the infrastructure.

There is a private company "Ukrrichflot" http://ukrrichflot.ua/en/  which declares the presence of about 100 vessels of various types and their ports and other elements of the port infrastructure. The second important market player is agro corporation "NIBULON" http://www.nibulon.com/ . The company owns a private fleet and private river terminals. The logistics sector in terms of water transport included 81 vessels in 2021, 68 of which are now blocked in Ukrainian ports due to the war. Before the war, the company handled over 5.3 million tonnes of agricultural goods for exports.

Ukraine - 2.6 Storage Assessment

Storage Assessment

Professional contract warehouse companies with full services are available and operating abundantly throughout Ukraine in government-controlled areas. Prominent hubs for different types of storage are located near the major cities of Ukraine, such as Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, etc. Due to the proximity of the war front, storage capacities in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia are either destroyed or not used as much as before the war.

During Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a large share of Ukrainian storage capacities was destroyed. Thus, in Kyiv region over 20% of the storage infrastructure was destroyed in 2022 when the Russian troops were trying to encircle the city. However, most of the destroyed warehouses were restored in 2023, and some new storage facilities are being built despite the war. Overall, there is no lack of storage space in the government-controlled areas of Ukraine and prices for storage in dollar terms remained fairly stable throughout the war.

Any transportation or storage on the occupied Ukrainian territories is impossible during the war.

Commercial Storage

The commercial storage industry in Ukraine is modern, vast, and very well-developed.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations

Given the wide range and large quantity of developed and professional warehousing companies, most humanitarian agencies prefer to contract out to a private sector provider for warehouse including full services. UNHCR and ICRC are among the larger users of storage services.

Additional information about the storage capacity of humanitarian organisations is also available at: https://logie.logcluster.org/?op=ukr-22-a

Public Sector Storage

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESoU) has a branched network of hub storage which has been expanded and actively used during the war. These storages contain relief items for emergency response and the humanitarian community can contact SESoU for joint use of the space. Link: http://www.dsns.gov.ua/en/

Cold Chain

The cold chain storage in Ukraine is widely represented by commercial storage companies and is modern, vast, and well-developed.

Most cold chain storages are less than 1000 m2 but some companies have big spaces (e.g. Raben Ukraine – 4000 m2, 3 chambers, different temperature regimes from +2+4*C to +8+12*C).

 

 

Ukraine - 2.7 Milling Assessment

Milling Assessment

Since having outstanding fundamentals for grain cultivation, Ukraine has also been a grain processing country. Today it has an enormous, well-developed, and up-to-date system for milling.

The war, however, has created sizable challenges to Ukrainian milling. The Russians are specifically targeting elevators and grain storage facilities throughout Ukraine. The attacks have destroyed hundreds of thousands of tonnes of grains in Ukraine along with the grain storage and transportation infrastructure. Moreover, due to many war-related factors, the quality of Ukrainian wheat is declining. In 2023 a significant share of the harvested wheat will be of sub-standard quality and, therefore, the grade of the final milling product will remain low, which will lead to a decrease in the final price of the product. Lastly, due to the partial blockade of the seaports on the Black Sea, there is a minimal possibility to export Ukrainian wheat or flour. In case farmers are unable to sell their harvest in 2023, they will not be able to sow in 2024 creating a threat to the entire industry. However, under moderately optimistic scenarios the export will continue in smaller volume and the industry in general survives the crisis.

Ukraine mills, processes, and exports millions of MT of various foods per year. The majority of mills are privately owned, though some are still state-owned and incorporated in the State food reserve. The overwhelming majority of Ukrainian mills are powerful following a tradition of Soviet industry to create large enterprises, but small milling entities producing high-quality grindings are also emerging.

A basic group of commodities comprises the following variety of groats: wheat groats, yellow peas polished (whole, split), defatted corn grain, corn flour, millet polished, unground buckwheat, grain pearl-barley as well as pulses.

Milling Companies 

At the forefront of the milling landscape lies the Union "Millers of Ukraine". Its member list is hosted on its website. Also, Europages and List of Companies Worldwide are the information sources for that matter.
