The largest bulk carrier since the beginning of the big war entered the port in Odesa

The vessel with a deadweight of more than 200,000 tons will load ore for Chinese buyers.

On March 30, the bulk carrier Captain Leonidas passed through the Ukrainian sea corridor — the largest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. This is reported by “Dumska”.

Dry cargo arrived from Shanghai to Port Anental. Ukrainian ore will probably be loaded onto the bulk carrier. In general, this vessel will be able to deliver more than 100,000 tons of products to Chinese customers.

The vessel was built in 2005 as Azul Fortuna, later renamed Captain Leonidas. The bulk carrier is 300 meters long and 50 meters wide. The deadweight of the vessel is 203,000 tons.

As USM recently wrote, more than 33.8 million tons of goods have already been exported through the maritime corridor.

Previously, the Ukrainian maritime corridor began to work around the clock, which contributed to the increase in transshipment volumes.
