Transport of sea containers to and from nearest harbors inside and outside Ukraine

Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, most container shipments bound for Ukraine are being routed through major European ports, as direct access to Ukraine’s main seaport Odessa is either limited or heavily disrupted.

Key ports serving as gateways for Ukraine-bound cargo include:

1. Port of Gdańsk, Poland – A major entry point for goods heading to Ukraine, due to its proximity and robust infrastructure for handling containers.
2. Port of Constanta, Romania – This Black Sea port has become an essential hub for redirecting cargo to Ukraine, especially following the disruption of direct access to Ukrainian ports.
3. Port of Klaipėda, Lithuania – It also plays a crucial role in handling goods destined for Ukraine, especially for non-standard, oversized cargo.
4. Port of Hamburg, Germany – Its extensive infrastructure and strategic location make it an efficient transit point for goods heading to Ukraine
