11 January , 2023  

The Joint Coordination Center (JCC) reported that due to unfavorable weather conditions, vessels were unable to leave Ukrainian ports during Tuesday.

“On January 10, due to unfavorable weather conditions, not a single vessel left Ukrainian ports within the framework of the Black Sea grain initiative,” the report reads.

It is noted that “due to the strong wind and large waves, the team of joint inspection was not able to board the vessels to conduct inspections”.

On January 9, dry cargo vessels were also reportedly unable to leave Ukrainian ports due to bad weather.

Five dry-cargo carriers headed for Ukrainian ports, which passed through the maritime humanitarian corridor on Tuesday.

The SCC reported that “76 applications for participation in the initiative have been submitted.”

“As of January 10, the total tonnage of grain and other agricultural products exported from the three Ukrainian ports is 16,945,661 tons. A total of 1,264 dry cargo ships have been allowed to move so far: 631 to arrive at Ukrainian ports and 633 to leave them,” summarized the JCC.
