Abstract

As a result of a new law "On Sea Ports", adopted in Ukraine, the prospects of attracting significant investments through the concession mechanism are opened up to the port sector. However, new opportunities require from authorized governmental agencies the skills and knowledge corresponding to international practice, particularly in issues relating to setting the duration of concession contract. In this regard, positive world experience is of particular interest. The practice of European sea ports is discussed and analyzed in the paper, the classification of methods for calculating the duration of concession contracts for the port sector, based on three proportionalities, was developed. Also, a decision plan was developed, allowing to choose the most rational approach to solving this issue, that can be very useful for practical application in Ukraine.
