Ships with Ukrainian grain exported from occupied Crimea are being unloaded in a Syrian port

Two ships spotted in Tartus that made voyages from Sevastopol despite sanctions.

Two ships have been spotted in the Syrian port of Tartus that recently made illegal voyages from occupied Sevastopol, loading Ukrainian grain. This was reported by the journalist of the SeaCrime project Kateryna Yaresko.

The dry cargo ship Leonid Pestrikov (IMO: 9922122) is currently being unloaded in the port, which was loaded in Komyshova Bay from July 3 to 16 (location 44.584, 33.427). The shipper of the cargo is the Agro-Fregat company.

Another ship, the Caffa (IMO: 9143611), is at anchor. From July 16 to 18, it loaded about 3,000 tons of barley at the Avlita terminal in Sevastopol (location 44.625, 33.552). The exporter of the cargo is the company “Khlebkom”, which operates from the Krasnodar Territory and is involved in investigations into the theft of grain from the occupied Ukrainian territories.

We will remind you that the bulk carrier Caffa changed its flag and owner before smuggling from the occupied ports.
