The grain deal ended and due to the ongoing conflict, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine press service announced the new temporary traffic routes of civilian vessels to/from the Black Sea seaports of Ukraine.
Earlier, these routes were already proposed by Ukraine in an appeal to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The IMO Council recognized Ukraine’s right to free commercial shipping, which is guaranteed by international maritime law.
The specified routes will primarily be used for the possibility of exiting civilian vessels that have been in the Ukrainian ports of Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdenny since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
“Vessels whose owners/captains officially confirm readiness for sailing in the current conditions will be allowed to pass through the routes. At the same time, it is reported that there is a military threat and mine danger from the Russian Federation throughout all routes,” added the Navy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
