8.1 million tons of grain from Ukraine passed through the Romanian port of Constanța during the period from January to July 2023, according to the Center for Transport Strategies
The port’s employees noted that the dispatch was slowed down in July, when Russia began attacking the infrastructure of Ukrainian ports on the Danube.
In July, the volume of grain exports from Ukraine amounted to approximately 600,000 tons. In total, in the first seven months of this year, the port transshipped 18.9 million tons of grain.
Earlier, we reported that on July 17, Russian officials declared that the Grain Deal had been terminated. It lasted two months.
Ukraine currently resorts to using Danube shipping as an alternative to the Grain Deal. During the first half of 2023, Danube ports located on the Ukrainian bank transhipped more than 14 tons of cargo. Ukrainian grain is also transported to Europe by rail. However, Russia has been shelling the Danube ports lately to impede the work of the Danube corridor.
