Nine more ships with grain leave Ukrainian ports

The relevant statement was made by the Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“On September 12, 2022, as part of the ‘grain initiative’, nine vessels loaded with 163.8 thousand tonnes of agricultural crops left Odesa Port, Chornomorsk Port and Pivdennyi Port,” the report states.

Today Odesa Region’s ports are also planning to receive 13 more vessels and load them with Ukrainian grain. Six of them have already moored to berths: two at Odesa Port, one at Chornomorsk Port and three at Pivdennyi Port.

A total of 2.78 million tonnes of agricultural crops have been exported since the ‘grain initiative’ was launched. In general, 122 ships left Ukrainian ports to deliver agricultural crops to Asian, European and African countries.

A reminder that, on July 22, 2022, Ukraine, Turkey, Russia and the United Nations signed an agreement unblocking grain exports from three Ukrainian ports.
