Buque de carga atrapado finalmente sale de Ucrania

El trigo recién cosechado se acumula en toda Ucrania. El granero de Europa está luchando por enviar sus suministros al exterior. Oleksandr tiene 20.000 toneladas de trigo de alta calidad almacenadas y listas para ser enviadas. Duele. Hemos estado cultivando esto durante un año. Es como un niño. Lo cuidas, lo alimentas, lo proteges de enfermedades. Después de eso lo traes a casa. Y ahora, míralo. ¿Qué podemos hacer con él? Ha habido siete ataques rusos en puertos cercanos a Odessa desde que Moscú se retiró de la Iniciativa de Granos del Mar Negro, haciendo un nuevo trato con Rusia para proteger cada vez más las exportaciones de Ucrania improbable. Ucrania estima que los ataques rusos han destruido más de 200.000 toneladas de alimentos en semanas recientes. Con un corredor humanitario, el país espera que las navieras internacionales navegará de nuevo el vital puerto de Odessa. Así se puede garantizar el suministro mundial de alimentos. En marzo pasado, Ucrania aprobó un fondo de seguro de $500 millones para barcos dispuestos a navegar. Pero sin las garantías de seguridad de Rusia, el puerto apenas funciona. Antes de la guerra, estaba lleno de camiones, automotores, barcos, remolcadores, barcos que entraban, salían, operaciones de manipulación, carga y descarga de buques, y estaba lleno de ruido y ajetreo y el bullicio de este puerto, puerto grande. Pero ahora está absolutamente tranquilo. El primer viaje exitoso a través del Mar Negro del portacontenedores Josef Schulte, atascado en Odessa desde el comienzo de la guerra, se ve como esperanzador. Ahora estamos viendo cómo la sociedad naviera internacional, la compañía de seguros, los clubes P&I reaccionar ante esta situación. Creo que no se trata solo de ser asequible para navegar. Se trata de correr el riesgo o no correr el riesgo. Él cree que sólo las garantías de seguridad convencerán a los cargadores de transportar granos desde Puerto principal de Ucrania de nuevo. Esto es importante porque los puertos en el río Danubio que están utilizando ahora son demasiado pequeños. para exportar el suministro masivo de cereales de Ucrania. En este momento, el grano de Ucrania es mucho más caro debido a los costos de logística. Si volvemos a abrir más que el soporte, el precio del grano bajará internacionalmente. Mientras tanto, Alexander intenta ayudar a los pequeños agricultores a plantar nuevos cultivos. Pero con muy pocas ganancias y el trigo amontonándose, algunos se preguntan si vale la pena el próximo año. Paso Fasen, Al Jazeera, región de Odessa.
