Grain initiative": during the holiday weekend, 9 ships exported 432 thousand tons of Ukrainian products to countries in Africa, Asia and Europe.
In particular, the bulk carrier HONORINE with 27.5 thousand tons of Ukrainian grain was sent to Bangladesh on its way to Tunisia, and the bulk carrier VELVET with 57 thousand tons of wheat was sent to Bangladesh.
Today, 630,000 tons of agricultural products are loaded on 19 ships in the ports of "Odesa", "Chornomorsk" and "Pivdenny". No new ships are expected for loading.
In the Bosphorus, 94 vessels are awaiting inspection (69 vessels are empty for loading, and 25 are already loaded with agricultural products). The Russian side in the JCC systematically slows down inspections. Vessels are waiting for more than a month on average. However, the bulk carrier T-Med has been waiting for the inspection necessary for entering Ukrainian ports since the beginning of November last year.
Since August 1, 620 ships have left the ports of Great Odesa, exporting 16.5 million tons of Ukrainian food to the countries of Asia, Europe and Africa.
