A delivery to Algeria today but Spain🇪🇸, Turkey🇹🇷 and Italy🇮🇹 continue to lead the way.

Nine ships were booked to sail today but only seven did carrying 108,281MT, two ships remain anchored outside of Odesa.

The largest load today was “mixed grain” on the Inoi, headed to Spain🇪🇸.

Eight inspections were completed today by the JCC, four on outbound vessels and four on inbound. The JCC released the names of two other outbound vessels they inspected today but noted they had requested additional documentation to complete their clearance remotely.

Joint inspection teams boarded four other ships whose inspections were halted for various reasons.

Ukraine reports that their ports are working efficiently but transit times for this particular ship to Algeria were twice as long as needed due to inspection delays.

In news from the Crazy Train, Russia says they will make a decision on the extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative by November 18th, the day before it expires.

They continue to report they are unable to export their grain and fertilizers because “Accounts in certain banks are blocked and therefore payments cannot be paid. This happened because of the sanctions of the West”.

While it’s true that certain banks face sanctions, it is also true that there are other options for payment transactions and Russia could make those work if they wanted to.

November 18th, mark it down.
