A new buyer is being sought for the first ship with Ukrainian corn

(ANSA) — ROME, AUGUST 10 — The Razoni, the first ship to leave the port of Odessa on August 1 bound for Lebanon with a cargo of corn, docked at the port of Mersin in Turkey.

This was stated by the Ambassador of Ukraine to the country Ihor Ostash during a briefing in the Media Center Ukraine. The five-month delay in delivery “causing the buyer and the carrier to agree to cancel the order,” the Ukrainian embassy said. The carrier considers “other purchase requests”.

The ship, which is currently based in Mersin in southern Turkey, according to the Marine Traffic website, was inspected by Turkish and Russian experts off Istanbul last week.

On July 22, Russia and Ukraine signed two separate deals, approved by Turkey and the United Nations, to allow the export of Ukrainian wheat, blocked by the war that began February 24, and Russian agricultural products, despite Western sanctions enable. According to Turkey’s Defense Ministry, three shipments of corn left Ukraine on Friday in a convoy bound for Ireland, England and Turkey. A first ship docked at its final destination, Turkey, on Monday. Since the agreement was signed, a total of eight ships have set sail, according to Ukrainian authorities, which hope to be able to launch three to five a day within two weeks. (HAND).
