Private ports refuse to install weighing complexes, they will be installed at entrances to ports – Dpty Infrastructure Minister
KYIV. Nov 8 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine expects to equip weight and size complexes at the entrances to all ports by July 2022.
"We now understand the following: all the cargo that travels, goes mainly to ports. We will try to ensure that weighing systems are installed in all ports and around all ports, which will weigh vehicles. Unfortunately, private ports refuse to do this. But we have already planned everything and see specific places where these scales cannot be bypassed. And I hope that by the end of the second quarter of the next year we will already have budgets and the arrangement of these places so that the cargo that goes to the port will be fined sooner or later in case of violation," Deputy Infrastructure Minister Mustafa Nayyem said during the Ukraine 30. Secure Community Forum.
He also noted that weight and size control will be strengthened in Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa regions.
Now, according to Nayyem, about 30 stations of the Weigh-in-Motion system are operating, and by the end of this year it is planned to launch about 70 more such stations.
Nayyem noted that in the regions, after the launch of the system, the number of vehicles traveling with overload has decreased three times, however, attempts continue to bypass the weighing systems, as well as to bribe for travel without weighing.
"There is a problem with the stationary stations where our inspectors are stationed. I hope that by the end of the next year these stationary stations will be equipped with technologies that will transfer data automatically to Kyiv, and there will be no questions when an inspector passes the columns at night, receiving UAH 3,000-4,000 for one truck," the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure said.
He also said that 150 WiM stations will be launched by the end of next year, which will be enough to cover the main directions.
As reported, the reboot of the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety, according to the estimates of the Ministry of Infrastructure, requires $500,000.
