ports

Russian attacks have effectively stopped shipping through the ports of Great Odesa since July 22.

During the years of occupation, Russia has formed a stable system for exporting stolen Ukrainian grain: the same ships that regularly enter closed ports, shell companies, fake documents about the origin of the cargo, as well as buyers willing to work with “toxic” grain.

Romania supports the increase in the transit of Ukrainian grain through the Romanian port of Constanta to the countries of the Middle East and Africa.

The event brought together representatives of Ukrainian maritime, environmental, emergency and rescue services and law enforcement agencies.

Turkish container operator Akkon has abandoned calls to Russian ports due to increased risks for ships, crews and cargo.

Waiting for passage through the Sulina Canal currently reaches about 10 days, which can add about $10 per ton to the cost of transporting cargo.

As of August 31, about 80 vessels are expected at the Sulina Canal roadstead, and after their passage, the queue may move to the exit from the canal.

In August, 89.3 thousand tons of oil were exported by rail — 52% more than in the same period last year.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha had a telephone conversation with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatti.

In the Rostov region, a state of emergency was introduced on the evening of August 28 due to disruptions in the operation of ports.
