Maranta

The 'Maranta' has been barred from European ports after failing a series of port state safety checks and will not be allowed to dock in ports of the Paris MOU region for three months. The ship was detained in Venice on Dec 5, 2024, with 14 defiencies, four of which being regarded as seriously, including the machinery control alarm not working, insufficient fire prevention measures and problems with the means of control in machinery spaces, for 12 days. This was its third detention in the Paris MOU region within the past three years. It was also detained in Naples and Ravenna on two separate occasions in 2022. The ship left Venice on Dec 18, en route to Altinova, where it remained from Dec 23-30.

Four ships left Ukraine's Black Sea ports in the Odesa region on Oct 27, 2023, as shipping resumed via a new export corridor after a three-day break. The 'Propus', 'Iasos', 'Gloria G' and 'Manassa Queen' sailed from Odesa ports, while the tanker 'Mavka', the bulk carrier 'Golden Arrow' and the 'Maranta' were currently heading to Ukrainian ports. On Oct 26 the Kiev-based consultancy Barva Invest, British security firm Ambrey and a specialist newspaper, Ukrainian Ports, reported that Ukraine had suspended the use of the corridor due to a possible threat from Russian warplanes and mines. Ukrainian officials denied this, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Oct 27 that the corridor would continue to function despite the threats. Ukraine has used the corridor to try to restart its seaborne exports despite threats from Russia, which in July had canceled the UN agreement that had been concluded, which allowed some food to be exported despite the war. 23 ships were loading at the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi as of Oct 26. So far, a total of 51 ships have used the corridor, 33 of which exported more than 1,3 million tons of Ukrainian agricultural products and other cargo.
