Grain Ship’s Departure From Ukrainian Port Delayed Due to Bad Weather Turkish Ministry
A grain-carrying ship that was scheduled to depart from Ukraine’s Chornomorsk port under a U.N.-brokered deal on Thursday was unable to set sail due to bad weather conditions, Turkey’s defence ministry said.
The deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey between Russia and Ukraine has allowed 12 ships to depart from Ukraine’s Black Sea port since Aug. 1.
The agreement was reached last month after warnings that the halt in grain shipments from Ukrainian ports due to the conflict could lead to severe food shortages and even outbreaks of famine in parts of the world.
“A ship whose departure from Chornomorsk Port for grain shipment was planned for August 11 could not set sail due to bad weather and sea conditions,” Turkey’s defence ministry said.
The Ocean Lion, the biggest ship to depart Ukraine so far, was at anchor in the Sea of Marmara, near the southern end of Istanbul’s Bosphorus Strait after leaving Ukraine on Tuesday.
