After a three-week wait, the Russian bulk carrier received permission to enter the Israeli port of Haifa with a cargo of grain. It carries more than 43 thousand tons of wheat exported from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, including the occupied Crimea.
This was reported by SeaKrime journalist Kateryna Yaresko.
After a three-week delay, the Russian-built bulk carrier ABINSK (IMO: 9303869) finally entered the Israeli port. From March 23 to April 12, the bulk carrier was awaiting a permit.
According to it, the vessel was received in the port of Haifa with a cargo of 43,765 tons of wheat, which was loaded at the anchorage of the Kavkaz port. The grain was delivered there from the occupied Ukrainian ports. She noted that ABINSK had been waiting for the Israeli side's approval since March 23.
It turned out that the vessel was previously registered in occupied Kerch, from where it left on March 17 and arrived in Haifa on April 12.
In March, the Mys Zhelaniya, a Russian-flagged bulk carrier, made another voyage to export Ukrainian grain from the temporarily occupied Crimea. According to recorded data, more than 15 thousand tons of grain were loaded on board the ship in the port of Sevastopol. According to the Defense Intelligence Service's War & Sanctions portal, the vessel belongs to the Russian construction company Transstroy LLC, which specializes in large-scale energy facilities in the Arctic for customers such as Rosatom, Lukoil, and Alrosa.
In February, the Russian bulk carrier GRUMANT, which is under Ukrainian sanctions, was again spotted exporting grain from occupied Feodosia to Turkish ports. The vessel was at the berth of the Feodosia Commercial Sea Port in the first half of February. The vessel did not conceal its route and openly demonstrated that it had left occupied Feodosia without turning off the identification system.
