We are pleased to present to you the final issue of the journal in 2025 and inform you that LOGISTICS is opening a new page in its development by starting cooperation with the Crystal Growth Foundation, which means that the information saturation of the publication will change for the better. The first issue is dedicated to one of the innovative domestic developments, AI-Kantorovich, which the Crystal Growth Foundation created together with Hive Mind AI.
Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Interlegal and MTBS (Maritime & Transport Business Solutions), a leading maritime consultancy company from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, have agreed on a strategic partnership related to port and infrastructure projects in Ukraine under a new “MTBS Ukraine” brand.
Both partners have agreed to cooperate in consultancy services for public-private partnership (PPP) projects. As a result, Interlegal’s law competences in the Ukrainian market will be complemented by specific technical and financial expertise from MTBS.
“MTBS Ukraine” will become a new stage in a ten-year partnership between both companies, aimed at delivering high quality performance to many investment projects in the Ukrainian sea ports sector.
Interlegal partner Arthur Nitsevych noted, “We are enthusiastic about the prospects of this cooperation and see all the prerequisites for growth of port investment dynamics. The largest global cargo owners and stevedoring companies are regularly requesting information on entering the Ukrainian market. In order to satisfy this increasing demand for MTBS Ukraine joint services, we are in the process of expanding our port expert staff”.
Currently, Interlegal and MTBS, together with an international consortium, are drafting the feasibility study and tender documentation for the pilot concession tenders at the Olvia and Kherson sea ports.
Paul van Eulem, MTBS director, commented: “In Ukraine, we are engaged in many PPP projects. With the Ukrainian port sector rapidly expanding, there is a large prospective working platform. We provide high-quality services to our clients in all the countries having the MTBS brand. In the process of selecting a reliable and professional partner, Interlegal was a logical choice”.
