According to ex-MP Ihor Mosiichuk, in early November 2025, a large sea shipment of urea, declared as originating in Oman, entered Ukraine. However, the documents, logistics and the cargo route itself tell a completely different story - the story of re-export, which began in the port of Duqm and ended in Chornomorsk, with thousands of kilometers, several jurisdictions and a company that appeared on the market only a year ago, Nenka.info writes.

The key characteristic of this delivery was the loading point. on September 17, 2025, the Panama-flagged m/v King M left the port of Duqm (Oman). In the mineral fertilizer market, this port has long been known as a transit point for cargoes originating not from Oman but from russia. It is there that documents are drawn up, after which russian urea receives a new designation - "Oman."

The King M vessel has the following characteristics: Bulk Carrier type, IMO 9614282, Panama flag, call sign 3ENT6, MMSI - 374560000.

According to the ship tracking system, King M left Duqm on September 17 at 2:53 p.m. After leaving Oman, the vessel did not head directly to Ukraine. It headed for the Romanian coast and entered the port of Sulina, Romania, at 8 p.m. on October 26. This was a technical stop before crossing to the Black Sea. From there, the vessel continued to move towards Ukraine and arrived at the port of Chornomorsk, where the cargo was unloaded and cleared by Ukrainian customs.

The shipment contained 25,000 tons of urea, which was declared in the cargo customs declaration number 25UA50009001298000 dated November 6, 2025. The document contains the following information: origin - Oman, loading point - Duqm port, price - USD 350 per ton, delivery terms - CFR Chornomorsk.

The official importer of this shipment is Import City Hub LLC. The company was established recently, about a year ago, and declared that its main activity is the trade in cars, not mineral fertilizers or chemicals. Fertilizer market players and employees report that the name of this company was unknown to Ukrainian traders before this shipment.

Despite the alleged lack of experience in the fertilizer market, the company is associated with a number of other legal entities, such as: Green Bridge Ukraine LLC, Agrovera LLC, V Agro LLC and others.

The beneficiary of these companies is Mykhailo Voronich. The main KVED of the related entities is 46.21 (wholesale trade in grain, seeds, feed, unprocessed tobacco). The declared cargo is grade B urea, which formally belongs to the chemical industry and is mainly used in the agricultural sector.

According to the documents, the goods were purchased at a price of USD 350 per ton, which is indicated in the "Invoice value" column of the customs declaration. The delivery was made on CFR terms, i.e. the seller was responsible for delivery to the port of Chornomorsk.

In fact, the data on the route, price and importer allow us to draw a reasonable conclusion: the supply of 25 thousand tons of "Omani" urea does not meet the criteria of legal origin and has signs of a scheme to import russian goods through Oman.

And as long as Ukrainian customs and regulatory authorities do not pay attention to such cargoes, the fertilizer market will remain accessible to "gray" schemes that use Omani maritime hubs and "one-time" Ukrainian companies to mask the true origin of products.
