The port is expected to be privatized under a customized plan in 2026–2027; the relevant amendments will be included in the local state privatization program. A 100 percent stake (975 shares) in OJSC “Bender River Port” is for sale.
Earlier, reports appeared in the Transnistrian media that the port was working to pay off its debts—including those owed to its staff—and to raise salaries, among other things. According to information from open sources, the company’s main activities were dredging the Dniester Riverbed and selling a mixture of sand and silt.
The same privatization program already includes the sale of a 25% stake in CJSC “Rybnitsa Cement Plant.” Shares in the plant have been on the market since 2025.
Revenues from the sale of both assets are expected to total nearly 33.8 million rubles (approximately $2 million). Privatization will “provide an additional source of funds for budget revenues and create conditions for attracting investment,” the document states.
