Dmytro Moskalenko made a brief presentation of the company he leads, mentioning the technical potential and the desire to cooperate with Romanian companies in order to promote water transport, as the most efficient from an economic point of view.

In the second part of the meeting, there was an exchange of technical and economic information regarding the opportunity to collaborate with the Ukrainian company by using the Sulina Commercial Port, Iuliu Stocklosa being the president of the Board of Directors, as a point of transshipment of goods, especially grain and edible oil from Ukraine from river barges to sea vessels, as well as oil products necessary for the Ukrainian economy from sea vessels to barges.
