Details: Eighteen bulk carriers have arrived at Ukrainian ports for loading. Another 40 applications to enter Ukrainian ports are currently under consideration.
"Ukraine is complying with its obligations to the world in the fight against global hunger. We are grateful to our allies for fulfilling security guarantees in the Black Sea," the Ministry of Infrastructure writes.
Meanwhile, Spain has launched a pilot project which will see Ukrainian grain transported by rail, as an alternative or in addition to the naval route.
