> Up to 70 vessels are waiting near the Danube’s Sulina Canal to reach Ukrainian ports and load grain for export, Reuters reported. With access to several Ukrainian Black Sea ports restricted, traffic has shifted to lower-capacity Danube facilities. Weather-related closures planned for at least two days could worsen delays; only five to seven vessels are currently passing daily, at a cost of about $8,000 per day for each delayed vessel.
