One ship moved into Odesa area ports. Five ships are inspected and waiting to transit the humanitarian corridor. There are 14 ships in the Odesa area ports. #MyPrecious

A weekend tradition, the inspection numbers: The March inspections per day did rise to 6.1 but still just over half of the October height of 11.3. The MT/Ship was higher at 44,346.
