Exports via the Ukrainian Sea Corridor reached 13 million tons of products to 24 countries in six months

Since August 2023, the new Ukrainian Sea Corridor created by the Ukrainian Navy has ensured the export of approximately 13 million tons of products to 24 countries of the world by 400 vessels. This was announced by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Vice Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine, Minister of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development.

“Despite the systematic attacks on port infrastructure, ports have received 430 ships for loading through the Ukrainian corridor,” Kubrakov wrote on the social network X.

Kubrakov emphasized that this is an effective result of the work of the Armed Forces, the Ministry’s team, business and international partners.

According to previously published statistics, exports through the new Ukrainian corridor amounted to 6.08 million tons in September-November: 0.28 million tons in September, 2 million tons in October, and 3.8 million tons in November. It was expected that in December it could reach 5 million tons, but, according to Kubrakov, it is close to 7 million tons.

It was noted that in November, the number of vessels increased to 110 from 52 in October and 5 in September, and the total for the three months was 167.

In the previous Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI), the peak ship passages were 176-180 per month in September-October 2022, and exports were 3.8-4.2 million tons per month.
