Background

Port of Nikolayev (Port of Mykolayiv) was founded in 1789. The port is located at the mouth of the Southern Buh River and have access to the Black Sea through a 44-mile shipping canal. In January-February 2015, the port handled 300,000 tonnes of coal, and exported 151,000 tonnes of coke. The port is one of the largest in Ukraine: in the first 5 months of 2020, the port handled 12.5 million tonnes of cargo, the second-most of any Ukrainian port. In 2021, the port handled close to 30 million tonnes of cargo.

The port's loading rate for coal is 10,000 tonnes per day, or 3.65 million tonnes a year.

However coal handling was only 0.12 million tonnes in January-November of 2020, 2.4 times lower than in the previous year.

The port infrastructure suffered damage from Russian shelling since the start of the invasion. Operations are significantly affected.
