“Problems in the operation of the “grain” corridor, caused by significant delays in inspections by the Russian side and the formation of queues of ships, force to focus again on the development of alternative routes, although this process has not stopped. However, we should take into account that the cost of logistics by alternative routes are many times higher than the cost of shipping from the ports of Odessa region, and just the sea route is the most cost-effective and efficient today,” – summarized UCAB in the message.
