A Ukrainian ship with 6,300 tonnes of
vegetable oil aboard is set to dock in Venice Tuesday, port
authority sources said Monday.
It is the second Ukrainian ship to dock in Italy since ships
were allowed out by Russia, following a massive grain shipment
last week.
The ship, the "Zumrut Ana", left the port of Chornomorsk near
Odessa on August 20.
The cargo's voyage was made possible after the authorization of
a United Nations delegation which is coordinating cereal exports
from the war-torn country from Istanbul.
The exact time at which the ship will leave the channel to
arrive at the cereal dock at Marghera is not yet known.
It will partly depend on the tides, sources said.
Last week a ship with 15,000 tonnes of corn (maize) arrived in
Ravenna, south of Venice.
