Another four ships loaded with food depart from Odesa, Chornomorsk ports – media

ISTANBUL. Aug 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – A convoy of four ships loaded with food departed from two Ukrainian ports on Wednesday, the Anadolu agency said with the reference to the Turkish Defense Ministry.

The ships, carrying sunflower oil, oil cake and corn, sailed out of Odesa and Chornomorsk, the ministry said.

On July 22, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Nations signed two documents to create a corridor for grain exports from three Ukrainian seaports: Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdenny. The parties also established the joint coordination center monitoring food supplies that brings together representatives of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN.

In all, 25 ships loaded with food have departed from Ukrainian ports since August 1 consistent with the agreement.
