The first vessel with Ukrainian grain leaves the port of Chornomorsk via a temporary corridor
The Resilient Africa vessel, loaded with 3,000 tons of Ukrainian wheat, has left the port of Chornomorsk and is heading toward the Bosporus. This was reported by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery, Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure, on Facebook.
“This is the first of two vessels that entered the port of Chornomorsk last week through a temporary corridor for civilian vessels established by the Ukrainian Navy,” he said.
The second vessel is currently in the port loading wheat for Egypt.
As reported earlier, the corridor established by the navigational order of the Ukrainian Navy was used to evacuate ships that were in the ports of Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi at the time of the full-scale Russian invasion.
After that, the bulk carriers Resilient Africa and Aroyat confirmed their readiness to use the route to the entrance to the port of Chornomorsk to load almost 20 thousand tons of wheat for African and Asian countries.
The vessels are flying the flag of Palau, and their crew consists of citizens of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ukraine.
