KIEV, March 7 – Ukraine will soon analyze obstacles to boosting freight cargo transportation via the country's territory and introduce incentives for freight owners and consignors to use Ukrainian transport services, including those provided by ports, according to Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Kozak.

"We should conduct this analysis so that by the end of the quarter we could provide our boundary partners with proposals regarding the best possible ways to settle the issues that are preventing Ukraine from boosting transit freight," Kozak said.

He said that in 2012 Ukraine lost a little over 20% of Russian transit freight flow at ports, which is connected with Russia's strategy aimed at redirecting own transit supplies to its own ports.
