The first ship with Ukrainian grain to pass through the Black Sea within the framework of the Istanbul Grain Agreement will be the bulk carrier Rojen.

It is noted that the bulk carrier of the Bulgarian company Rojen Maritime Ltd. arrived in Ukraine in winter.

“On February 21, the ship entered the port of Chornomorsk, “Transbalkterminal” was supposed to load it with export grain. However, the war changed the original plan, and the ship was actually blocked,” the publication noted.

It is noted that in two months, in April, the Bulgarian shipowner managed to rotate the crew of the bulk carrier.

“Rojen was able to leave the port of Chornomorsk and become a pioneer of the grain corridor organized thanks to the Istanbul agreements,” the newspaper writes.‎

It is noted that the ship was loaded with 40,000 tons of corn. According to preliminary information, the destination was Spain. However, MarineTraffic now indicates that the vessel will be heading to Great Britain.

It is worth adding that the Deputy Secretary General of the UN, Martin Griffiths, noted during the briefing that the first ship with Ukrainian grain can leave the sea from the port of Odesa region already today, July 29.
