By the suggestion of the Embassy of Ukraine in Armenia, the Union
of Armenian Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs organized a round-table
discussion, to which were present representatives of the "UkrFerry"
company from Ukraine, specializing in Poty-Illichevsk ferry
transportations and the representatives of a number of Armenian
transportation companies.
President of the Union of Armenian Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs
Arsen Kazarian informed the reporters that the Ukrainian side proposes
to establish a new container transportation system on Poty-Illichevs
route. Mr. Kazarian said that the necessity to establish a new
transportation system is explained by impossibility of railway ferry
transportation in times of emergency situations, as, for example,
a couple of months ago. The efficiency of the container ferry
transportation shall be proved after a while. As the railway ferry
transportation remains the cheapest, the aforementioned discussion
was dedicated to finding ways to make container transportation as
efficient and as affordable.
