Oleksii Chepok, deputy director dry bulk terminal at TransInvestService Ltd. in the Ukraine told this newsletter that the governor of the Odessa region of the Ukraine, Mr. Mykolai Serdiuk, held a press conference following his return from the recent CPMR Baltic Sea Commission conference in Gothenburg. Mr. Serdiuk reported that he had met with Volvo representatives at the conference and that the car company had plans to transit cars destined for Russia via one of the ports in the Odessa region.
