Greek and Turkish shipping companies have been the most eager users of the United Nations-protected safe corridor for the lucrative but potentially risky export of foodstuffs from Ukraine.
The two nations combined account for more than two-thirds of outbound voyages from Ukraine since 1 August, according to TradeWinds’ analysis of UN voyages and publicly available ship registration data.
Ships managed, and in most cases probably owned by Turkish interests, take the top spot in terms of trip numbers, with 232 outbound voyages registered as of 26 January.
