MINES ARE A PROBLEM!

Seven ships travelled from the Bosphorus North Anchorage to Odesa area ports on 05Nov and all were inspected by joint teams. These ships are all at the Odesa anchorage currently.

A further two outbound ships were inspected by joint teams on 04Nov and two on 06Nov meaning those ships are able to proceed to their destination.

No ships transited out of the humanitarian corridor on 06Nov. #myprecious

A further 15 ships were inspected by joint teams on 05Nov and 06 Nov and 13 of those ships are in the humanitarian corridor headed for Odesa area ports. Six more ships have their inbound inspection complete and are waiting to transit the corridor.

Why are they waiting? Weather in the Black Sea area is not optimal to say the least and in non-war times it would be a concern but it’s even more pertinent now.

The last big storm broke a mine free and it appears this one has as well as there are reports of an anchored mine washing up on an Odesa beach.

With only 13 days left in the Initiative timelines are getting tight. The JCC reports “currently 88 vessels waiting to move into Ukrainian ports plus 18 loaded vessels waiting for inspection in Turkish territorial waters.”
