Over the past year, 2,300 vessels have used the grain sea corridor, transporting more than 60 million tons of cargo, according to the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy, Captain 3rd Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk, during an interview on Freedom TV.
He noted that the "grain corridor" is actively used by European countries, with Spain and Global South countries leading.
"In any case, the corridor is functioning. We have already surpassed the milestone of 60 million tons, with 2,300 vessels using this corridor by sea alone. Although this is not the only route that vessels use. It involves daily work to ensure safety, including mine and anti-diversion measures and other types of hazards. This also involves the work of the relevant structures that need to inspect and escort these vessels. As you can see, this process is ongoing and running smoothly," explained Pletenchuk.
