grain theft

Latvia and Lithuania are tightening controls over the transit of Russian grain through their ports amid suspicions that some of the cargo may originate from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Samples from a batch of “Russian” grain at a customs warehouse in Klaipeda have been sent for laboratory analysis to France to verify its true origin.

The sanctioned bulk carrier NOVAYA ZEMLYA, which exported about 20 thousand tons of wheat from occupied Feodosia, changed its route and appeared near Alexandria instead of the previously declared Famagusta.

Of the two bulk carriers that have been in the Yalta Bay since the beginning of the week, only one remains.

The bulk carrier “Zaid” loaded with stolen grain in occupied Sevastopol.

The thief vessel returned to the port of Kavkaz after unsuccessful attempts to sell grain to Israel and Turkey.

The bulk carrier Panormitis (IMO:9445021) returned to the port of Kavkaz with stolen Ukrainian grain on board.

The ship is awaiting permission to enter Sevastopol, where it is to load grain taken from the occupied territories.

The bulk carrier Grumant unloaded more than 17 thousand tons of wheat loaded in the Turkish port of Iskenderun, loaded in the occupied Sevastopol.

Three Russian vessels involved in the theft of Ukrainian grain are returning empty to the north of the Russian Federation.
