Despite the war and constant shelling, maritime transportation in Ukraine is also gradually gaining momentum. Last year, 29 million tons of cargo were transported through the Danube ports alone. This is even more than in pre-war times. For example, in 2011, over the same period, the Danube ports handled 4.9 million tons of cargo.
