The process of drafting report was announced and carried out by Baltic Port Organization – an entity engaged in promoting cooperation between ports, monitoring and improvement of navigation opportunities in Baltic Sea region.

While drafting report, Interlegal experts provided their comments upon three principal aspects:

– Ukrainian export structure before outbreak of the war;

– Volumes and structure of cargo handling through the Ukrainian seaports before outbreak of the war;

– Export of Ukrainian agricultural products during the war.

Interlegal experts also provided the data regarding changes in such industries caused by hostilities, namely: changes in traditional logistics routes / redirection of cargo flows through seaports that were previously less involved.
