The Joint Coordinating Center (JCC) has given permission for a ship with more than 2,000 tonnes of corn to leave the Ukrainian port of Chornomorsk and head for Turkey, the UN reports.
“On August 22, the JCC authorized the movement of one merchant ship Kafkam Etler, which will leave Chornomorsk for Turkey on August 23 with 2,437 tonnes of corn as part of the Black Sea Grain Initiative,” the message says.
It is noted that, “as of August 22, the total tonnage of grain and food products exported from three Ukrainian ports is 721,449 tonnes.”
In addition, on August 22, the JCC completed the inspection of three ships departing from Ukrainian ports – I Maria, Zumrut, Oceans, as well as six arriving ships – Ganga Star, Ashabaltic, Aeolos, Peace M, Anastasia, and FPMC B201.
“They all received permission to sail,” the message says.
Teams of inspectors plan to inspect on Tuesday three vessels arriving in Ukrainian ports – Daytona Dynamic, Eneida, Silver Lady, and three outgoing vessels – Da Liang, Filyoz, Kubrosli Y.
In Istanbul on July 22, 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 – Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdenny.
