Suspension of the ports of Great Odesa. What to expect and how market participants are adapting
After the intensification of Russian shelling of the port and logistics infrastructure of the Odesa region, the work of the ports of Great Odesa has virtually stopped. Some shipowners have suspended operations to Ukrainian ports, and business has once again found itself in a situation where it is necessary to assess the direct risks to vessels, crews and cargo – and quickly look for alternative solutions.
USM has prepared a detailed material on what such a suspension could mean for Ukrainian exports, the freight market, insurance brokers, farmers, port operators and shipowners. Together with business and experts, we analyze how critical the current situation is, how to adapt logistics in the coming weeks and what will happen to the sea corridor in the event of further attacks by the Russian Federation.
