The vessel Lady Zehma with grain from Ukraine was refloated in the Bosphorus Strait, the local publication Maritime Executive reports.
According to reports, after a 173-meter dry cargo ship with 3,000 tons of Ukrainian corn got stuck in the strait, rescue tugs were sent to help, which “quickly launched it into the water.”
“As of Thursday evening, the ship was moving at a slow pace, accompanied by several tugboats,” the publication said.
On August 30, the UN reported that the Joint Coordinating Center (JCC) had given permission for six ships, including the Lady Zehma ship carrying 3,000 tons of corn, to leave Ukrainian ports on Tuesday as part of an Istanbul food deal.
On July 22, in Istanbul, with the participation of the UN, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine, two documents were signed on the creation of a corridor for the export of grain from three Ukrainian ports – Chernomorsk, Odessa and Yuzhny.
