In May 2024, Ukrainian seaports almost doubled their cargo handling year over year to 8.265 million tons.
This follows from a statement by the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA), the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"The leaders in cargo traffic are grain - 5.3 million tons (against 3.5 million tons in 2023) and ore cargo - 1.5 million tons (against 241,000 tons in 2023), respectively. Cargo traffic through the Ukrainian corridor in May amounted to 6.7 million tons, of which 4.5 million tons are the products of Ukrainian farmers," the report says.
In the first five months of 2024, Ukrainian ports increased cargo handling by 73% year over year to 46 million tons.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, 50 million tons of goods were exported through the Ukrainian sea corridor in nine months.
On September 21, 2023, the bulk carrier Resilient Africa arrived in the Turkish Bosphorus Strait.
That was the first ship with grain from Ukraine that passed through the Black Sea through the temporary corridor.
