Ukrainian ports will remain closed until the Russian attack is over, according to the head of Ukraine’s Maritime Administration Vitaliy Kindrativ. Reuters reported navigation in the Azov Sea was stopped last week, and many shipping companies have ceased operations on the Black Sea with higher insurance premiums. Russian Black Sea terminals continue to load and ship grain. Kindrativ reported about 100 foreign-flagged ships are “blocked in Ukrainian seaports by the Russian navy.” Bombs have hit at least three commercial vessels. Mariupol and Berdiansk, both Sea of Azov ports, have been hit during the fighting. Other ports have had damage, but not as critical, he said.
