The first month of the temporary sea corridor: 31 vessels called at the ports of Greater Odesa

The temporary maritime export corridor to the ports of Greater Odesa has been operating for 30 days. During this period, 31 ships have arrived for cargo, Andriy Klymenko, head of the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute for Strategic Studies, said on Facebook.

“It’s like in May-June 2023, but without any participation and “pontificating” by Russia. And, hopefully, we are almost certain that there will be more ships. The total deadweight is 1.3 million tons. 17 of them have already left with cargo and are on their way or have already arrived at their destination,” comments Andriy Klymenko.

He added that the corridor is not limited to grain cargo.

On October 15, three vessels arrived, including a tanker that was actively working during the grain initiative – MAVKA, carrying vegetable oil:

• MAVKA, tanker, IMO 9284647, deadweight 13,602 tons, flag of Panama;
• MANASSA QUEEN, bulk carrier, IMO 9152478, 23,544 dwt, Panama flag, shipowner – Romania;
• KYALAMI, bulk carrier, IMO 9574200, deadweight 28,202 dwt, flag of Liberia, owned by Greece.
