The strategic decisions concerning technological innovations demand a comprehensive investigation of practice of activity of world leaders of the port industry. The main problems that have to be solved as a result of introduction of innovations are divided into four areas: technologies, finance, security, social responsibility.For an effective combination of all components of strategic development a number of ports form the long-term strategic plans, which are highlighted in a mission. Long-term planning is the most effective when long-term prospects act as the catalyst for innovations. The problem of Ukrainian ports, at the present stage of their development, is that the strategic plans developed until 2038 focus only on the technological equipment of enterprises and completely ignore the development of management competencies and increase in efficiency of planning the interrelationships between the main directions of strategic management, and integration of enterprise development plans into the global strategy of the country. The general strategy of innovative development has to be based on management by ranging of strategic tasks that will give an opportunity of rapid response to new calls of the external environment.
