Transport on the maritime grain corridor is increasing, but the largest volume of Ukrainian cereals is exported across the Danube
The liberation of snake island has unlocked the waterway
August 29, 2022
This is a considerable volume, but still limited. For make a comparison, during the same period the volume of exports of the same products by road was analogous. So far the river has been the mode of most used transport to export these goods: from March over four million people have been transported to the Danube tons of Ukrainian wheat, passing from 16,500 tons of agricultural products transported in March, in the first month of the war, to almost 1.4 million tons in July. This an increase has been allowed, in particular, by the liberation of Snake Island, previously occupied by the Russians, by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which allowed to reactivate navigation on the Bystroe Canal, in the Danube Delta, that crosses the Ukrainian territory, while previously access to the Ukrainian ports of the Danube was possible only through the canal Sulina that crosses the territory of Romania and that does not have sufficient depth for the transit of ocean-going ships.
