It will be recalled that the bulk carriers Anna-Theresa under the flag of Liberia and Ocean Courtesy under the flag of the Marshall Islands left the South port on September 1.

Both vessels have been blocked in a Ukrainian port since the start of the full-scale war. Bulk carriers carry 56,000 tons of pig iron and 172,000 tons of iron ore concentrate.

The vessels are operated by a Singapore shipping company and were in Port Pivdennyi before the full-scale invasion. Bulk carrier Anna-Theresa has been in port since February 22, 2022, and Ocean Courtesy since February 16, 2022.

The corridor, established by the navigation instructions of the Navy of Ukraine, is primarily used for the evacuation of ships that were in the Ukrainian ports of Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi at the time of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. Since August 15, 4 ships have already used the temporary corridor.

The first to pass this way were the container ship Joseph Schulte (August 16) and the bulk carrier Primus (August 27).
