Two grain-stealing bulk carriers are heading to the occupied Crimea

The vessels are involved in a criminal scheme with the illegal transportation of stolen grain from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to Syria.

The Russian ships “Fedor” and “Matros Koshka” are heading towards Crimea to load stolen grain. The “Crimean Wind” monitoring group writes about this.

According to Vesselfinder, “Fedor” was allegedly on its way from Istanbul to the Russian port “Kavkaz”. However, a week ago, the bulker turned off the AIS system, hiding its geolocation and route.

Also, after the delivery of stolen Ukrainian grain to the Syrian port of Tartus, the bulk carrier “Matros Koshka” returns to load with grain. The ship has passed the Bosphorus Strait and is heading to the temporarily occupied Sevastopol.
