On a related note, tracking the vessels is easy enough. How I can find out more about the cargo, what is loaded and unloaded and all that?

Razoni is on the move, possibly to Egypt, but not updating her position. Navi Star in the Eastern Med, heading to Foynes, Ireland. Polarnet steaming to anchorage south of Istanbul. Rojen moored in Ravenna, Riva Wind expected in Iskenderun in a day or so.

Riva Wind nearing Athens, Rojen passing Puglia on the way to Ravenna, Nav Star about to pass Sicily.

Razoni and Polarnet have not moved.

No change in the bulk carriers in Odessa.

Odd. The buyer of the Razoni’s wheat cargo has refused to accept it, “citing a more than five-month delay”.

Polarnet still moored, Riva Wind still at anchor, Rojen passing Athens.

No further departures I can see.

Razoni still at anchor. Navi Star at anchor in Istanbul. Polarnet tied up in the Gulf of Izmit. Rojen on its way through the Marmara Sea. Riva Wind heading for the Bosporus queue.

Doesn’t look like there have been any further departures from Odessa.

Many good thoughts and conclusions.

Riva Wind left Odessa this morning for Istanbul. No word yet what it is carrying.

Navi Star, Polarnet and Rojen all in the queue for the Bosporus.

Razoni at anchor near the Turkey/Syria border.
