98 Ships Waiting For Inspection In Bosphorus, Russia Slowing Down Work Of Grain Corridor - Infrastructure Mini

98 Ships Waiting For Inspection In Bosphorus, Russia Slowing Down Work Of Grain Corridor - Infrastructure Ministry

Over three days, five ships with 158,500 tons of food came out of Ukrainian ports, which are exported by the "grain corridor."

The press service of the Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine announced this on Facebook.

According to the release, among these five ships are True Harmony and Leo bulk carriers, which deliver agricultural products to Egypt and Sri Lanka.

In total, during the initiative, Ukraine exported 17 million tons of agricultural products, the Ministry said.

"In the Bosphorus, 98 ships are waiting in line for inspection (21 are already with food on board, and 77 are going under loading). Most of these vessels have been standing in the Bosphorus since last year due to targeted braking of inspections by Russians. This leads to a decrease in the volume of Ukrainian food to the countries that need it, as well as to millions of losses of cargo owners," the release says.

As Ukrainian News reported, on November 17, Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov announced that the Initiative for the safe transportation of agricultural products through the Black Sea was extended for another 120 days.

On August 5, the first caravan with Ukrainian grain left the Odesa and Chornomorsk sea ports.

Zelenskyy discussed with Erdogan the continuation of the grain agreement, security and energy cooperation.
