Ukraine plans to insure vessels that pass through the grain corridor.

Ukraine has insured all merchant vessels that export and import goods through the Danube ports and is considering insuring ships that will pass through the grain corridor, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

“Ukraine has already insured all merchant ships exporting and importing goods through the Danube ports. Now the government of Ukraine is discussing the possibility of insuring ships and companies involved in exporting grains through the grain corridor,” Shmyhal added.

“There is high risk associated with exporting grain through the seaports, as the Russians can try to sink any merchant ship. Therefore, of course, the support of partners is needed so that this does not happen. But for our part, we insure such risks at the expense of our budget,” the prime minister added.
