Ukraine resumes container transportation from Odesa ports

Ukraine has resumed container transportation across the Black Sea. On April 3, the first container ship entered the Odesa port of Chornomorsk.

It is noted that the first vessel was the T Mare, which flies the flag of Panama. It is not classified as a container ship, but a vessel for the transportation of general cargo.

The publication noted that this is not yet a full-fledged specialized vessel, but a so-called feeder that will be loaded with containers and sent to a foreign hub for further loading onto ocean container ships of global container lines.

According to MarineTraffic, the vessel left Chornomorsk for the Romanian port of Constanta.

The T MARE is a containerized cargo ship flying the Panamanian flag. Its total length is 105 meters and width is 17 meters.

As reported, in March, the Ministry of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure announced that in early April, Odesa ports would receive the first container ship since the beginning of the war.
