Inspectors from Istanbul-based Coordination Center finalize inspection of bulker carrying Ukrainian corn

ISTANBUL. Aug 3 (Interfax) - Specialists from the Joint Coordination Center based in Istanbul have completed the inspection of the MV Razoni, which is carrying 27,000 tonnes of Ukrainian corn, the Anadolu Agency said in a report.

The bulker will now head to Lebanon.

As reported earlier, the inspectors and members of the Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish and UN delegations boarded the ship on Wednesday to check the cargo's compliance with the agreement signed in July.

Participants in the quadripartite negotiations (the United Nations, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine) signed two documents in Istanbul on July 22 regulating the functioning of a sea corridor to export grain from the Ukrainian seaports of Odesa, Chornomorsk (formerly known as Illichivsk), and Pivdenny (formerly known as Yuzhnyi).
