Razoni

The 'Razoni' was detained in the port of Constanta on Feb 23, 2026 ,by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding after undergoing an expanded inspection. The inspectors noted six deficiencies. The checks covered the accommodation area and the galley,the ballast tanks, cargo areas, the engine room, navigation bridge, decks and the forecastle. The bulk carrier had arrived in the port on Feb 20, enroute from Istanbul.

The 'Razoni', the first ship to leave the Ukraine since the end of the port bloackade, has reached the port of Tartus on Aug 16. It had sailed form Odesa on Aug 1 with more than 26.000 tons grain.

The 'Razoni', which had been the first ship to leave the port of Odesa, carrying a cargo of corn bound for Lebanon, has finally arrived off the port of Mersin, which means that all the problems surrounding this dry cargo ship have been resolved. Earlier, a buyer in Lebanon refused to accept the cargo from the vessel, which was carrying more than 26,000 tonnes of corn, due to delivery delays. The 'Razoni' dropped anchor off the port in pos. 36° 43.85' N 034° 38.21' on Aug 9 at 2.35 a.m.

The "Razoni" was the first grain carrier that was able to leave the blocked Ukrainian waters, but it has still not arrived at its destination. The buyer no longer wants to accept the cargo. As the Ukrainian embassy in Lebanon announced, the investor has withdrawn his interest in the approximately 26,000 tons of corn on board the freighter. Officially on the grounds that the delivery is now almost five months late. The ship is now waiting for a new buyer and thus a new port of destination to be found and remained anchored off the Turkish coast. The freighter was originally expected in the Lebanese port of Tripoli in the morning of Aug 7. It anchored off Mersin on Aug 9 at 2.30 a.m.
