About This Seaport
More than 25 million tonnes of cargo, including over 15 million tonnes of grain, moved through Ukraine's maritime corridor in 2025—and Odesa is its pivot, the country's principal seaport. Located on the Black Sea (UN/LOCODE UA ODS), the Greater Odesa ports handle roughly 60 percent of Ukraine's seaborne trade, exporting mainly wheat, corn, sunflower oil and other agricultural goods, with container and breakbulk traffic partly resumed since 2024. After the Black Sea Grain Initiative ended in August 2023, Ukraine opened its own maritime corridor hugging the coasts of Romania, Bulgaria and Türkiye; since its launch about 120 million tonnes have passed through the Greater Odesa ports, including some 76 million tonnes of agricultural products. Up to 30 percent of Ukraine's steel exports now move via this route. Operations remain risky: the Odesa region logged more than 800 air-raid alerts in 2024, attacks halted port work on more than 32 days, and loading can stretch to 48–72 hours. Hinterland links run via Ukrainian rail and road, supplemented by Danube ports and EU solidarity lanes. Forwarders face war-risk surcharges and special insurance terms; lower-risk alternatives include Constanța in Romania or rail and Danube transit through Central Europe.
