24 days left in the grain deal, 390 ships outbound, 240 delivered, 8,899,049MT shipped and 4,981,549MT delivered. 🧵⬇️ #oatt #wheat #corn #barley #sunflowers #agriculture #maritime #maritimenews 
As you might have guessed, no grain ships sailed today while they investigated the possible mine like object. That means nothing much changed except a few ships that delivered. But….scroll down.⬇️
A little further...
#myprecious (Quick break because this thing is beautiful, ok keep scrolling...)
Five inspections were completed today by the JCC, three on outbound vessels and two on inbound. Notably, the JCC released the names of four other outbound vessels they inspected today but noted they had requested additional documentation to complete their clearance remotely.
Even more notable, the joint inspection teams boarded another five outbound ships but the process was suspended on various grounds.
The JCC reports that “as of today, there are over 170 ships in Turkish territorial waters, 113 registered with the JCC for inspection and a further 60 waiting to join the Initiative.”
This is a big change in reporting from the JCC and may be an attempt to demonstrate that it’s not just inspection teams that need to step up their game to get ships moving.
Now for the cool stuff! A tug boat and search and rescue boat were dispatched to inspect the corridor and we can see their tracks here.⬇️
As we can see they've carried out a detailed sweep and both covered their own sectors diligently. The channels look to be unbroken by a discovery so we can assess that nothing was found in their sweep.
This has since been confirmed by the JCC: “The findings were submitted to the JCC. While no mine has been identified during the inspection, the JCC decided as a mitigation measure to authorize a tug boat to escort vessels tomorrow.”
Here’s hoping tomorrow is a big day!
