Analysis of dry cargo ships calling in Odessa ports.
Bloomberg reports that over the past week, insurance for ships passing through Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea has risen significantly (I wonder why). Now it exceeds 1% of the value of the ship. For a ship with a price tag of $50 million, this means an additional $125,000 per voyage. All this is not for nothing, because recently the Russian Aerospace Forces have been striking Odessa ports when ships call there for unloading, after the strikes both the port infrastructure and the ships themselves are destroyed.
From the very beginning of the grain deal they have been carrying weapons and carrying out strikes from these ships (UAVs and missiles, then removing the missile guides from the deck).
