KYIV, Nov 2 - The maritime corridor has turned from an export corridor into an export-import one, insurance rates have decreased significantly, exports by sea reach 1.5 million tons and will grow, said the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk.

He emphasized that “the sea grain corridor is working.”

"We also believe that the number of ships will increase. This is a question of the first trial balloon. That is, the bravest ones went, regardless of the fact that insurance rates were quite high - about 5% of the cost of the cargo vessel, as far as I know. There were brave souls, who went first,” stated the speaker of the Navy.
