Three more vessels leave Odesa ports through the temporary humanitarian corridor

On the morning of October 17, three ships left Odesa ports to use the temporary Black Sea corridor announced by Ukraine: Bull, Ramus and Bahar K. One vessel is also heading in the opposite direction along the Ukrainian coast.

This is evidenced by data from ship traffic monitoring services.

The Panamax bulk carrier has a deadweight of 82,000 tons and entered the Ukrainian port for loading on October 12. The Ramus and Bahar K vessels of 6,000 and 8,300 dwt respectively entered the port through a temporary corridor on October 13.

On October 17, the 8,900 dwt general cargo vessel Briza entered one of the Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea.

According to the estimates of the CTS, a total of 33 vessels (including Briza) used the new route announced by Ukraine to enter the ports of Greater Odesa. For the exit (including 5 vessels that have been in the ports since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022), taking into account today’s three vessels, this figure will reach 24. That is, we record a total of 57 ship passages in both directions.
