The inland waterways of Ukraine might be open to non-Ukrainian flag ship-owners by the start of navigation in spring 2011



The Inland Waterways of Ukraine consist of the Dnipro River and a small section of the Danube. These are classified as Category E under the European Agreement on most internationally relevant waterways. The Dnipro River has a total length of 2,200 km with six water reservoirs and 1,811 km is navigable. The only part of the Danube in Ukraine is a short section in its delta region. There are 10 main river ports, all except one of which is on the Dnipro (the two ports on the Danube are classified as seaports).
