Two more ships with grain departed from Black Sea ports in Odesa this morning, the Ministry of Defense of Turkey reported.

According to the data of the Ministry of Defense of Turkey, within the grain shipment:

• The ship Sormovsky under the flag of Belize, carrying 3 thousand 50 tons of wheat from Chornomorsk to Tekirdag,
• The Marshall Islands-flagged ship Star Laura with 60,000 tons of corn also left Yuzhnoye for Iran.

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, as of August 10, 12 ships were already heading from Ukrainian ports with agricultural products to 7 countries around the world. 370,000 tons of agricultural products are on board. And 2 vessels have already arrived for loading.

The first ship with Ukrainian corn arrived in a Turkish port for unloading on August 8.

On August 12, the Brave Commander ship under the flag of Liberia is expected to arrive at the port of “South” with a load of more than 23 thousand tons of wheat to fight the famine in East Africa.

On July 22, Ukraine, the United Nations, Turkey and Russia signed an agreement (Ukraine and the Russian Federation separately) aimed at ensuring the safe passage of ships entering and leaving the three Ukrainian Black Sea ports (“Odesa”, “Chornomorsk”, “Pivdenyi”), which were blocked by the Russian Federation after the invasion of Moscow on February 24.

Ukraine and Russia are major exporters of grain, and the port blockade has delayed tens of millions of tons of grain in the country. The first ship with grain under the agreement left the port of Odesa on August 1. The first vessel to be loaded entered the Odesa port on August 6 for the first time since February 24. So, the corridor worked in both directions.
