«PRESS RELEASE
A promising investment project has launched at the Belgorod-Dniester Seaport. By 2017, the port plans to nearly double its cargo handling capacity, as well as repair and upgrade its equipment. All assets will remain state-owned.
The investor is the OREXIM Group of Companies, which has significant experience implementing projects to establish and develop stevedoring businesses in Ukraine. In 2013-2014, the group's port operators handled 3,5 million tons of cargo.
The projects will be implemented by local companies from the city of Belgorod-Dnistrovsky – KD TRANS LLC and RIVER-TRANS Private Enterprise (OREXIM Group of Companies). The companies have completed the necessary procedures established by the Law of Ukraine "On the Lease of State and Municipal Property."
Without exaggeration, this project can be called one of the most significant in the region, as an example of cooperation between a state-owned enterprise and private business.
During the project, the management of the Belgorod-Dnistrovsky Commercial Sea Port (BDSTP) is paying special attention to maintaining social guarantees for its employees. Thus, effective February 1, 2015, the company increased salaries by 10%. Employees retain all additional payments and allowances, their professional experience, length of service, and the full package of social guarantees stipulated by the collective bargaining agreement.
Investors hire 450 workers, whose labor rights are being monitored by the primary trade union organization of the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky seaport (part of the Trade Union of Workers of Maritime and River Transport of Ukraine).
"We are confident that the investment project will have a positive impact on the city and regional economy. Considering that the companies implementing the project are registered in the city, the local budget will not lose a penny, and given the investment, it will be replenished in the future."
"The advantage of the project is that the state continues to own the property, while the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky Commercial Sea Port State Enterprise oversees its effective use and ensures the investor fulfills its obligations," comments Andrey Myagchenko, Deputy Director of the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky Commercial Sea Port State Enterprise.
