Abstract

One of the main drivers of economic growth or development is foreign trade. About 85 percent of the total volume of world trade is transported by sea. In today's economy, ports play a much more significant role than simply serving passengers and handling cargo along the quays. In this sense, ports equipped to perform transport and forwarding operations, serve cargo ships and passengers, and carry out other related economic activities, play an essential role in transporting goods. Since the action of ports, directly and indirectly, affects the state of local and regional transport and logistics systems, they become potential centers of coordination of competitive strategies. The work aims to identify the relationship between the profitability of water transport enterprises and the quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. The following methods were used to solve the tasks: system-structural, abstract-logical analysis and grouping – when researching the level of quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine; calculation and analytical – when analyzing the level of profitability of water transport enterprises of Ukraine; economic-mathematical modeling – when constructing the dependence of the profitability of Ukrainian water transport enterprises on the level of quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. The article examines the level of quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. An analysis of the profitability level of Ukraine's water transport enterprises was carried out. The dependence of the profitability of Ukrainian water transport enterprises on the quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine is constructed. This dependence was recorded mathematically and presented graphically. We investigated the density of the connection between the profitability of Ukrainian water transport enterprises and the quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. To check the quality of the built model, we calculated key indicators and conducted several special tests. To increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian water transport on the international and cabotage transportation market in the post-war recovery period, the article develops recommendations for constructing a new state-of-the-art port infrastructure based on the principle of "better than before".
