On March 30, the Ukrainian sea corridor set a new record by receiving the three-hundred-meter bulk carrier Captain Leonidas, which became the largest ship to moor at the ports of Greater Odessa since the start of the full-scale invasion. Arriving from Shanghai, China, the bulk carrier began the loading process into the port of Pivdenii late in the evening, around midnight.
This vessel, originally named Azul Fortuna and later renamed Captain Leonidas, was built in 2005 and has significant parameters: 300 meters in length, 50 meters in length and a deadweight of more than 200 thousand tons. It is predicted that the bulk carrier will be loaded with Ukrainian ore and will deliver more than 100 thousand tons of this product to Chinese consumers.
