The efficiency of containers delivery from China to the European Union through Ukraine on the Caspian-Black Sea route

Abstract

Ukraine, as a country with significant transit potential, after rapid loss of transit cargo flows over the past ten years, has real prospects to regain the leading role in the global supply chain for containers between markets of China and the European Union. In addition, these markets themselves are interested in diversifying the supply chain of its products not only through Russia and possibly Iran, which in the conditions of the existing sanctions cannot be reliable partners.
