The Acting CEO of Ukrainian Seaports Authority Raivis Veckagans held a meeting at the port of Odessa, during which he criticized the port’s management.
Thus, construction of long-term projects such as the terminal at the Quarantine Mole and reconstruction of the berth are still not completed. The question of reconstruction of the passenger terminal with placement of “Open customs area” is far from resolved.
The CEO familiarized with construction of each capital investment project and focused attention of port’s management on the poor quality of production discipline and failure to fulfill investor’s commitment.
“Investors are not cared by internal bureaucratic procedures, litigation and so on. When you assume commitments for construction of the object, it should be finished in clear terms prescribed in the contract. Our task is the creation of favorable conditions for business, rather than the artificial barriers that hinder investment attraction”, the CEO noted.
In the near future Raivis Veckagans intends to meet with the leadership of investor companies to restart the relationship as well as to determine the next steps for the implementation of the mentioned investment projects. (USPA/Business World Magazine)
