Ukraine exports 50 mln tonnes of cargo by maritime corridor – Restoration Ministry

Ukraine has exported 50 million tonnes of cargo through the maritime corridor opened unilaterally nine months ago, and 1,737 ships have passed through Ukrainian seaports by now, Ukrainian media said, citing a statement by the Restoration Ministry.

Combined efforts of the government, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, international partners and port industry workers have enabled stable exports of Ukrainian agrarian products by sea, the statement said.

The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority website reported a record amount of cargo transshipment by Black Sea ports.

“Starting from the Joseph Shulte, the first ship that passed through the Ukrainian corridor on August 16, 2023, Ukrainian Black Sea ports have processed the record amount of cargo. A total of 1,737 ships have been processed to date,” the website said.
