The purpose of the article is to analyse the relationship between the GDP volume index and the volume of freight and the number of passengers transported by water in Ukraine in the system of sustainable development goals. The article examines the dynamics of changes in GDP and the situation in the field of maritime and inland water transport in Ukraine. This provided an opportunity to develop an economic and mathematical model of the relationship between the GDP volume index, the volume of freight, and the number of passengers transported by water in Ukraine. Based on the developed economic and mathematical model, the authors predict possible changes in the GDP volume index under the influence of changes in the volume of freight and passenger transported by water transport in Ukraine. The authors propose to increase the values of indicators 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 in the framework of task 9.1 (SDG 9) precisely by increasing the volume of transportation of goods and passengers by water transport. According to the authors, this is most consistent with the conditions of target indicator 8.1.1 (SDG 8) increasing.
