The second foreign vessel has left the port of Odesa since Russia withdrew from the grain deal. According to MarineTraffic, it is the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Primus. It arrived in the port of Odesa from the Greek port of Perama under the name Polarstar.
The Primus bulk carrier has been in Odesa since February 20, 2022.
The Primus bulk carrier sailed to the Bulgarian city of Varna.
Meanwhile, according to the Marinetraffic website, which tracks maritime traffic, Primus left the port of Odesa at around 08:45 local time, but turned around and headed for the coast at noon.
At the same time, Primus's destination remained the port of Varna. Primus is flying the flag of Liberia. Its home port is the port of Monrovia.
As a reminder, on August 16, the first vessel, the container ship Joseph Schulte, departed from the port of Odesa. Its home port is Hong Kong.
On August 18, the vessel arrived at the port of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara, where it was originally headed.
The Ukrainian Navy announced the opening of a temporary Black Sea "humanitarian corridor" for civilian vessels in early August.
According to the military, this corridor will primarily be used to allow ships that have been in the Ukrainian ports of Chornomorsk, Odesa, and Pivdennyi since the beginning of the war to leave.
