During the holiday weekend 9 vessels exported 432,000 tonnes of Ukrainian products to Africa, Asia, and Europe.

In particular, bulk carrier HONORINE with 27,500 tonnes of Ukrainian grain was on its way to Tunisia, bulk carrier VELVET with 57,000 tonnes of wheat was sent to Bangladesh.

Today, 630,000 tonnes of agricultural products are loaded on 19 vessels in the ports of Odessa, Chornomorsk, and Yuzhny. No new vessels are expected to arrive for loading.

In the Bosporus, 94 vessels are waiting for inspection (69 vessels are empty for loading, and 25 are already loaded with agricultural products). The russian side in the JCC systematically slows down the inspections. Vessels are waiting for an average of more than a month. However, the bulk carrier T-Med with wheat on board has been waiting for inspection since the beginning of November last year.

Since August 1, 620 vessels have left the ports of Odessa region, exporting 16.5 million tonnes of Ukrainian food to Asia, Europe and Africa.
