Russia could leave the port in Mariupol without 25% of vessels

The overlap of the Kerch Strait will leave the port almost without 50% of cargoes.

Due to the violation by Russia of the UN Convention on the law of the sea some of the ships will not be able to enter the port of Mariupol. As reports UNIAN with reference to the Mariupol port, the new requirements to the size of the ships, which brought Russia do not correspond to at least 144 ships that came into port during the past year.

This is 23% of the total number of vessels.

That is, they account for 43% of gruzopererabotki port.

As reported in the Ministry in the temporarily occupied territories and internally displaced persons in Ukraine, Russia has imposed a number of restrictions.

“Russia in spite of the UN Convention on the law of the sea sets the limit for the passage of ships through the Kerch Strait. So, the height of the arch will be limited to 33 feet above sea level. In addition, if before the passage of the Kerch Strait has been permitted vessels with length up to 200 meters, now the Russian Federation declares about the limitation of the allowed length of 160 meters “, – said in a statement Minot.

“Restrictions will lead to the fact that in Mariupol sea port will be able to enter only vessels with a relatively smaller total capacity (10 thousand tons)”, – stressed in the Ministry.

In Minot believe that such limitation will affect the competitiveness of the port. After all, such vessels can transport cargo within the Black and Mediterranean seas.

“On other continents – Asia, Africa and American countries the carriage is ocean class vessels. Because the larger ship can reduce the cost of sea freight per ton of cargo”, – said the Agency.
