Ukraine grain ship pipeline runs dry as last vessels set sail

Two ships laden with Ukrainian grain are to set sail from Odesa on Monday and it looks like they will be the last to do so under a United Nations-led scheme for the seaborne export of Ukrainian grain.

Laden almost to the brink with corn, the 43,800-dwt TQ Samsun (built 1996) and the 43,600-dwt TK Majestic (built 1994) are expected to disembark on 10 or 11 July, according to sources.
