Four ships transited out of the humanitarian corridor on 18Nov and only one transited in.

Ships at Sea is holding relatively steady but only because so many have delivered. There is a growing number of outbound ships waiting for inspection again and as of late only three inspection teams have been operating on most days.

The largest load on 18Nov was the Nord Stark carrying 30,000MT of corn to Spain. #myprecious

Three inbound ship was inspected on 18Nov, one outbound ship was inspected, and no others were completed due to weather. The JCC reports 71 vessels are waiting to move into Ukrainian ports and 26 loaded vessels are waiting for inspection in Turkish territorial waters.

Food security is most effected by supply and demand and the Black Sea Grain Initiative has a world-wide impact. I highly recommend spending a few minutes of your time on this new report from the @WorldBank.
