A second convoy with Ukrainian agricultural products left the ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk

A second convoy with Ukrainian agricultural products left the ports of Odesa and Chornomorsk — three ships departed from Chornomorsk and one more from Odessa.

This was reported by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine.

Almost 170 thousand tons of agricultural products are on board 4 bulkers MUSTAFA NECATI, STAR HELENA, GLORY and RIVA WIND.

"After working out the organization of the first convoy at the ports, we are gradually moving on to larger volumes of work. We plan to ensure the ability of the ports to handle at least 100 vessels per month in the near future. Also, soon we plan to fully join the "Puvdenny" port to the implementation of the Initiative. We expect that thanks to this, we will be able to send even larger convoys of ships to buyers, at least up to three million tons per month," said Minister of Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov.

Ships are heading to the ports of Italy, China and Turkey.

• On July 22, in Istanbul, at the suggestion of the United Nations, Ukraine, Türkiye and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres signed the Initiative on the safe transportation of grain and food products from the Ukrainian ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdenny.
• As part of the implementation of the agreements, 4 ships have already been sent with a cargo of Ukrainian corn: RAZONI, NAVI STAR, ROJEN and POLARNET. They transport more than 80,000 tons of corn.
