Port Concessions and PPP Projects

Legal support on port concessions and PPP projects in Ukraine

Port concessions and PPP projects require legal support that reflects both commercial objectives and the public-law framework in which such projects are developed. In Ukraine, this area has gained renewed practical importance in recent years, particularly in the context of infrastructure development, private investment and legislative efforts aimed at improving the PPP framework.

We advise clients on port concessions and PPP projects with particular focus on Ukraine, helping them navigate project structuring, contractual arrangements and legal issues arising at different stages of implementation.

Why it matters

Concession and PPP projects are legally and commercially complex. They often involve long-term commitments, allocation of operational and investment responsibilities, regulatory oversight and coordination between public and private stakeholders. In Ukraine, these matters also need to be assessed within the evolving national framework for concessions and PPPs, which has been further developed in recent years.

Timely legal advice helps clients structure projects more effectively, address legal and regulatory risk at an early stage and support the implementation of commercially workable solutions.

We assist with

  • Advice on the legal structuring of port concessions and PPP projects in Ukraine
  • Drafting, review and negotiation of concession, PPP and related project documentation
  • Assessment of legal issues relating to project implementation, allocation of responsibilities and risk distribution
  • Support in matters involving public authorities, project participants and investors
  • Advice on port-sector projects within the Ukrainian concession and PPP framework
  • Strategic legal support throughout the development and implementation of port and infrastructure projects

We act for

  • Investors and project sponsors
  • Port operators and infrastructure businesses
  • Private participants in concession and PPP projects
  • Ukrainian and international companies involved in port development
  • Clients engaged in Ukrainian port, logistics and infrastructure projects

Our Approach

Deep knowledge of law and the industry

Rabomizo works with the norms of international maritime law and national maritime codes of various jurisdictions, grounded in a deep understanding of shipping operations and the commercial realities of the industry.

Experience in dispute resolution in international jurisdictions

We have represented clients in London, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Oman and other jurisdictions.

Rapid response in crisis situations

We promptly engage in communication with the parties involved, prepare well-grounded responses and develop a defence and negotiation strategy at any stage of the process.

Understanding of shipping operations

Our solutions take into account not only legal aspects but also the practical side of a shipowner’s or operator’s business. Clients do not need to spend time explaining – we understand the complexity of maritime processes and provide full support.

About us

We support our clients in structuring solid business agreements, managing the risks and making decisions within complex multi-jurisdictional frameworks.

If the claims, delays, sanctions, restrictions, or disputes arise, we develop and implement a legal strategy, representing clients across the jurisdictions and legal systems. Our work combines sector knowledge with a clear understanding of the international regulatory environment.
