It is pertinent to mention that QTerminals, a joint venture between Mwani Qatar and Milaha, invested in Ukraine’s Port of Olvia as part of efforts to expand its operations in the Black Sea region. QTerminals had won concession in 2020 to develop, manage and operate Olvia port.

QTerminals Olvia operates in Olvia Port and offers wide range of terminal services including but not limited to vessel operations, cargo handling, storage, warehousing, as well as facilitation of cargo transport by rail.

Olvia Specialised Sea Port is an important universal transport hub in the South of Ukraine. The port is located on the Pivdennyy Bug River and has an access to the Black Sea via the Bug-Dnieper Liman Canal (BDLC).
