Russia has also recently shipped grain via the Baltic Sea as an alternative to the Black Sea; 1.2 million tonnes were shipped through this route in September. Moscow has refused to negotiate a new grain agreement with Ukraine aimed at ensuring safe transport in the Black Sea.
Russia Uses Military Port in Murmansk for Grain Shipment
Russia has begun using its military port in Murmansk for the first time for grain shipments following export difficulties via the Black Sea. Demetra Holding has loaded 3,400 tonnes of grain onto a ship at the Murmansk Port. Another 28,000 tonnes of grain are planned to be loaded into the port in the near future, with the shipment scheduled to be delivered to Morocco.
