"We are developing other concession projects with our international partners, namely, airport concession. We are now considering a format we will use until the end of the year, regarding [airports in] Lviv, Chernivtsi, Kherson, and Zaporizhia. In addition, we are considering eight train stations since we want them to become intermodal transport hubs that provide convenient passenger services. And, of course, concession projects for roads we have been talking about for a long time," he said while presenting the winners of concession tenders for the state-owned enterprises Olvia stevedoring company and Kherson's Commercial Sea Port.
Today, there is political support of all branches of government for the implementation of the projects, as well as "full determination" to do so, he added.
As UNIAN reported earlier, in January, Ukraine completed the first two tenders for the concession of the state-run Olvia stevedoring company's port-based property located in Ukraine's Mykolaiv region, and that of Kherson's Commercial Sea Port.
LLC Risoil-Kherson that won the tender for the transfer of assets of Kherson's Commercial Sea Port to management on concession terms plans to double the port's cargo turnover during the first five years. In addition, the company intends to inject about UAH 300 million (US$12 million) into the facility development.
