The first ships from the unblocked ports of Ukraine will be able to leave within four days, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Yuriy Vaskov said.
Report informs citing UNIAN that the Ministry of Infrastructure believes all three ports will start working within two weeks.
"Under the initiative, a joint coordination center should be created. We are ready to send our people already tomorrow. We hope that other parties are also ready to do this quickly. As soon as the center is created, we will be able to open the first port and two more in turn. The administrations of our ports will interact with the coordination centers. Our ports and port operators will form plans for handling ships and carry out all operations. The task of the coordination center is to monitor and coordinate," he said.
Vaskov noted that some of the ship owners are ready to send ships.
Within a few days, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Administration will inform the interested parties about how ships will enter and exit. Now the naval and armed forces of Ukraine are coordinating the appropriate scheme. Services of the Ministry of Infrastructure will help the vessels first.
The first open port will be Chornomorsk, then Odesa, then Yuzhny.
