The vessel Mikhail Nenashev is heading to the Syrian port of Tartus with 27,400 tons of stolen Ukrainian grain.
This was reported by Kateryna Yaresko, a journalist for the SeaKrime project of the Peacemaker Center.
According to her, Mikhail Nenashev (IMO:9515539) has changed its port of destination to Tartus (Syria).
The vessel is carrying 27,400 tons of wheat loaded at the Avlita grain terminal in occupied Sevastopol from April 22 to 25.
Grain from the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia, Kherson regions and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
“Syria is now massively accepting stolen grain delivered by Russian vessels from occupied Ukrainian ports, with grain purchases being carried out by a state company. After the change of power, the flow of stolen grain stopped, but soon everything returned,” said Kateryna Yaresko.
It should be noted that the Sparta (IMO:9268710) ship of the Oboronlogistika company, which supplies the Russian military contingent, is also currently heading to Tartus.
