[1/2] Hong Kong-flagged container ship Joseph Schulte leaves the sea port, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Odesa, Ukraine, in this handout picture released August 16, 2023. Russia has made regular air strikes on Ukrainian ports and grain silos since mid-July, when it pulled out of the U.N.-backed deal for Ukraine to export grain. Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), which owns the ship jointly with a Chinese bank, confirmed that the ship was en route to Istanbul. Kubrakov said it was carrying more than 30,000 metric tons of cargo in 2,114 containers, adding that the corridor would primarily be used to evacuate ships from the Black Sea ports of Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi. DANUBE PORTSUkraine turned to its Danube river ports after Russia pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal seeking better terms for exports of its own food and fertilizer.

LONDON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Merchant ships remained backed up in lanes around the Black Sea on Monday as ports struggled to clear backlogs amid growing unease among insurers and shipping companies a day after a Russian warship fired warning shots at a cargo vessel. After an inspection, the vessel continued its journey towards the Ukrainian port of Izmail along the Danube river, Russia said.

Romania on Monday said that it aimed to double the monthly transit capacity of Ukrainian grain to Constanta to 4 million tonnes in the coming months. Sunday's incident cast a pall over plans announced by Ukraine last week for a "humanitarian corridor" in the Black Sea to release cargo ships trapped in Ukraine's ports since the outbreak of war.

☆ Insurers count the cost of ships snagged in Ukraine crisis

Curtailed shipments from major grain exporter Ukraine played a role in the resulting global food crisis. According to shipping and insurance industry assessments, there are still between 40 and 60 ships stranded, and ship owners can claim a total loss for vessels stuck for a year from their insurers. A senior industry source said exposure for the ships currently stuck was estimated at $500 million. "The liabilities for those people who have ships stuck there, to get those ships out - it’s a real headache." "There is going to be some form of constructive agreement I suspect, but then that owner will have to buy war risk insurance all over again."

☆ В Суэцком канале не смогли снять с мели застрявший контейнеровоз

Очередная попытка снять контейнеровоз Ever Given с мели в Суэцком канале завершилась неудачей, сообщили представители инженерного оператора судна — компании Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM). Контейнеровоз Ever Given — который принадлежит японской компании Shoei Kisen и находится в управлении тайваньской Evergreen Marine Corporation — 23 марта сел на мель на 151-м километре Суэцкого канала по пути из Китая в Роттердам. Длина корабля — 400 метров, ширина — 59 метров, грузоподъемность около 224 тысяч тонн. Основной причиной инцидента считают ухудшение видимости из-за песчаной бури и ураганного ветра — из-за этого команда потеряла контроль над управлением. Владелец судна Ever Given рассчитывает, что его смогут освободить на выходных.
