FIRST GRAIN SHIP FROM UKRAINE AUTHORIZED TO GO FOR LEBANON DURING UKRAINE WAR

  • 03/08/2022

It has been given the go-ahead to depart Turkish seas for its port of call in Lebanon by the first grain tanker to leave Ukraine since Russia's invasion.

The crew of the Razoni and its 26,000 tonnes of corn cargo were examined by a team of representatives from Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and the UN.

The ship could depart for Lebanon on Wednesday, according to the UN.

Since its invasion in February, Russia has blocked Ukraine's ports, worsening the world food crisis.

Both parties agreed that shipments may continue under a deal mediated by Turkey and the UN last month, which established a Joint Coordination Centre (JCC) to supervise exports.

The Razoni sailed for the Lebanese port of Tripoli on Monday from the Ukrainian port of Odesa.
