The Beijing-based China Harbor Engineering Company (CHEC) has won the tender for a dredging project at Ukraine's Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, the Ukrainian authorities said on Wednesday.
The CHEC beat four companies from Ukraine and Europe with a bid price of about $15.6 million, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA) said in a statement on Facebook.
"The Chinese company has completed the first stage of the dredging project three months ahead of schedule at the Black Sea port of Yuzhny in Ukraine's southern Odessa region.
Chornomorsk, on the northwestern shore of the Black Sea, is one of the largest seaports in Ukraine, handling between 15 and 20 million tons of cargo annually.
Addressing the signing ceremony, Klitschko hailed the international experience of the Chinese companies in railway and tunnels construction, expressing the hope for the successful implementation of the subway line project in Ukraine.
KIEV — A huge hydraulic excavator is grabbing a coat of grey muck and loading it on barges, which transfer the waste to the dump site - Ukraine's Black Sea port of Yuzhny is in the midst of the major dredging operation.
The Beijing-based China Harbor Engineering Company (CHEC) is carrying out the dredging, helping Ukraine to transform the Soviet-built port into a modern maritime facility and write the new chapter in the history of Yuzhny.
Founded in 1978, Yuzhny is one of the three major ports in Ukraine.
Last year, it became the busiest seaport of the country, having reloaded 39 million metric tons of commodities or 30 percent of Ukraine's total maritime cargo turnover.
Lin Tao, head of the representative office of CHEC in Ukraine, said the Chinese company decided to enter the Ukrainian market after the introduction of an innovative tendering system in the Eastern European country.
The project is estimated to allow the entry of large cargo ships in the port, expanding the productivity of the maritime facility and creating additional opportunities for Ukraine to boost its trade.
Together, the dredging and the terminal construction projects are estimated to boost Ukraine's grain exports by 15 percent once completed.

The first agreement envisages that the Chinese company will conduct the reconstruction and the road safety improvement works on Striy-Ternopil-Kirovograd-Znamenka highway, which stretches from western to central Ukraine.
While speaking after the signing ceremony, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan said this was the first time that a Chinese company will carry out Ukraine's road reconstruction projects funded by international organizations.
"This is the first experience of Chinese companies in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Shen said his company stands ready to introduce a variety of innovative Chinese road construction technologies to Ukraine and exchange experience with local professionals.

According to the Chinese Ambassador to Ukraine Du Wei, the project will also pave the way for deepening cooperation between China and Ukraine in the infrastructure sector.
Meanwhile, Rayvis Veckagans, the head of Ukrainian State Seaports Authority, described the project, which is set to be completed within 38 months, as Ukraine's step towards joining China's Belt and Road Initiative.
That's why our government and our companies working in the railway and automobile road sector must offer a comprehensive solution to make a transit corridor through Ukraine more competitive," Veckagans told Xinhua after the signing ceremony.
KIEV — Newly sown fields, well-kept houses and modern farms -- the rural area surrounding Koryukovka settlement shines like a pearl among the string of abandoned villages in a remote corner of Ukraine's northern Chernigov region.
China has experience and knowledge of modern farming technologies, its investors have financial resources, while Ukraine has fertile land and good farming infrastructure.
"Before coming to Ukraine, we have visited many countries in Africa and Southeast Asia.
Then we found out that agriculture is very well developed in Ukraine and decided to invest in this country," Zhang told Xinhua.
The intention of the Ukrainian authorities to join the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative has reassured the Chinese farmers of prospects in Ukraine.
The Chinese authorities have repeatedly clarified China's position on the Ukraine issue, stating that China will not add fuel to the fire or take advantage of the situation for its own benefit, Sht said.
China's position on the issue of Ukraine has been consistent and clear.
The country always upholds an objective and impartial stance, standing on the side of peace and dialogue, and supports Russia and Ukraine in moving toward each other and ending the conflict, said a spokesperson from the ministry on an online statement.
Without reflecting on its actions, the United States has continued to supply weapons to Ukraine.
Qin also reiterated China's consistent willingness to help find a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, adding that China will never do anything to add fuel to the fire.
The IMF managing director also warned global policymakers not to let supply chain security precipitate a new Cold War, as security of supplies and the reliable functioning of global supply chains are taking a "new, higher priority seat" in economic discussions following the COVID-19 pandemic and amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
At the news conference, the IMF managing director warned global policymakers not to let supply chain security precipitate a new cold war, as security of supplies and the reliable functioning of global supply chains is taking a "new, higher priority seat" in economic discussions following the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine.
In addition, it said that geoeconomic fragmentation, including developments stemming from Brexit, ongoing US-China trade disputes and conflict in Ukraine, has also contributed to the weaker outlook, as has a slower expected pace of supply-enhancing reforms.
The intensive visits to China by foreign leaders are aimed at strengthening cooperation with China and further stabilizing and resuming economic growth amid the impact of a series of issues, including the Ukraine crisis, energy and food security and supply chains, Sun said in an opinion piece published in The Beijing News.
According to Tourk, countries in Europe also expect to have a recession because of the conflict in Ukraine and the energy crisis.
The IMF said that globally, the rise in central bank rates to fight inflation and the conflict in Ukraine continue to weigh on economic activity, with global inflation expected to fall from 8.8 percent in 2022, to 6.6 percent in 2023, and 4.3 percent in 2024, still above pre-pandemic levels of about 3.5 percent.
In the report, the IMF warned of the risk of growing forces of geopolitical fragmentation, as the conflict in Ukraine and the related international sanctions are splitting the world economy into blocs and reinforcing earlier geopolitical tensions, such as those associated with the US-China trade dispute.
Global economic outlookOil prices, which came close to the all-time high of $147 a barrel in March last year due to the conflict in Ukraine, have since unwound most of their 2022 gains.
Globally, growth is slowing sharply in the face of elevated inflation, higher interest rates, reduced investment and disruptions caused by the conflict in Ukraine, with the growth in 2023 expected to slow to 1.7 percent from the 3 percent forecast six months ago.
Globally, growth is slowing sharply in the face of elevated inflation, higher interest rates, reduced investment, and disruptions caused by the conflict in Ukraine, with 2023 growth expected to slow to 1.7 percent from the 3 percent forecast six months ago.
Given such adverse shocks as high inflation, rising interest rates, sluggish investment and the Ukraine crisis, global growth has slowed "to the extent that the global economy is perilously close to falling into recession," the report said.
The volume of China's corn imports dropped 26.89 percent on a yearly basis to 19.75 million tons between January and November last year, while its bulk corn imports from the United States and Ukraine dropped 26.3 percent and 31.95 percent on a yearly basis, respectively, said China's General Administration of Customs.
The challenges include the lingering Ukraine crisis, the rocky future of global trade, dire problems in food and energy security and a possible stagnation of the world economy, he said.
Given COVID-19 flare-ups, the Ukraine crisis and weak cross-border investment globally, the robust FDI growth in China proved foreign investors' confidence in the country thanks to its complete industrial system, super-large market, stable society and long-term sound economic fundamentals, analysts said.
"As with any global event, the Ukraine conflict has shifted priorities toward an agenda other than climate change," said Ajay Gambhir, a climate economist at Imperial College London.
The quarterly report said that the sharpest economic activity slowdown in 80 years has been shaped by the highest inflation in decades, tightening financial conditions in most regions, the conflict in Ukraine and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic.
The slowdown is most pronounced in the eurozone, where the energy crisis, following the conflict in Ukraine, will continue to take a heavy toll, reducing growth to 0.5 percent in 2023.
- China's strengthening economic recovery is an important development as the world struggles to emerge from the economic hardships caused by rising prices, eroding food supplies, and uncertainty amid the Ukraine conflict, a leading Italian global business and management expert has said.
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has sparked a surge in food and energy prices, an important contributing factor to inflation that cannot be underestimated, because both Russia and Ukraine are key suppliers of bulk commodities such as energy, metals and agricultural products on which some countries are highly dependent.
Instead, Washington took advantage of the conflict in Ukraine, and shifted the responsibility onto Russia.
"During the event, WTO members showed they cherish economic globalization, overcoming geopolitical divergence heightened by the conflict in Ukraine and resorting to cooperation rather than confrontation to jointly-address global problems," said Tu Xinquan, dean of the China Institute for WTO Studies at the University of International Business and Economics and WTO Chair at the university.
Li has underlined the importance of stabilizing grain and energy supply on a number of occasions recently as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has fueled a global food crisis with the surging prices of grain, cooking oil, fuel and fertilizer.
The case for a possible recession in Europe relies on two arguments: inflation hitting households' consumption decisions; and a new set of supply bottlenecks resulting from the conflict in Ukraine, the report noted.
As an important food-producing region in the world, Ukraine's agricultural production and exports have also been greatly affected.
Kerry said, "Now, Ukraine is being used as a lever, to make the argument that you've got to have this energy security, which you do have to have, nobody doubts that, but it's a headlong plunge to say it means we need to drill a lot more and pump a lot more and build out more infrastructure.
Political and business leaders have gathered to address a daunting confluence of global crises, including the conflict in Ukraine, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic instability, at the opening sessions of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Switzerland on Monday.
Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, said that the world stands at the "most consequential political and geopolitical moment" of the past decade as the conflict in Ukraine continues.
The meeting analyzed the current economic situation and economic work, including the rising risks caused by the resurgences of COVID-19 and the Ukraine crisis, and clearly asserted that efforts should be made to contain the epidemic, stabilize the economy and keep development secure.
World Bank Group President David Malpass said the conflict in Ukraine has caused a near-term spike in prices of key food staples, including wheat and wheat substitutes, meanwhile future harvests and crop yields face reductions due to higher energy and fertilizer prices.
"The tragedy unfolding in Ukraine must not be compounded with another tragedy－a global food crisis," said Malpass, who was speaking during an online event on food security hosted by the United States Department of the Treasury.
Malpass said the World Bank is preparing a financial support package in response to both global food insecurity and the crisis in Ukraine.
Srinivasan pointed to the negative influences on the economy from the Ukraine crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the IMF's World Economic Outlook, the global economy "worsened significantly" since the start of the year, mainly due to the Ukraine crisis and the sanctions imposed by the US and other countries.
Srinivasan added that while the impact of the pandemic on global long-term potential is still being felt, the Ukraine crisis poses an additional headwind.
The supply chain crisis is another difficult problem to solve in the shadow of the pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, which Srinivasan described as "one crisis on top of the other crisis".
"One would hope that what we take away from these shocks, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine is not to have more fragmentation, but to have greater integration across countries, which would strengthen supply chains and so on," said Srinivasan.
Srinivasan表示：“我们希望从这些冲击，包括疫情和乌克兰战争中得到的教训，并非是导致更多的分裂，而是实现国家间的更大程度一体化，这将有助于强化供应链等。”
Developments surrounding the Ukraine crisis have contributed to rising consumer prices in many parts of the world, and caused disruptions to global supply chains of various commodities.
Alcin, also an academic at the Istanbul-based Beykoz University, said the growth figures came amid the global inflation prompted by the long-lasting COVID-19 pandemic and the month-long crisis in Ukraine.
Multinational corporations' strategies in the context of deglobalizationAs the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to intensify, the confrontation between Western countries and Russia has extended from the national level to the corporate level.
The Ukraine crisis unfolds while the global economy is "on a mending path" but has not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, the report said, noting that global economic prospects have worsened "significantly" since the forecast in January.
A severe double-digit drop in GDP for Ukraine and a large contraction in Russia are "more than likely," along with worldwide spillovers through commodity markets, trade and financial channels, the report showed.
Fu Linghui, the spokesperson of the NBS, told media that Russia is a major exporter of energy, food and fertilizers while Ukraine accounts for a considerable portion of the world's corn and wheat exports.
He said China's trade with Russia and Ukraine was respectively 243.03 billion yuan ($38.18 billion) and 29.59 billion yuan during the first quarter.
It stressed that Russia and Ukraine are both key suppliers of essential goods, such as food, energy and fertilizers.
