A 173-meter ship carrying 3,300 tons of Ukrainian corn was stranded for nearly 6 hours after its rudder failed (Yahoo News) 

September 02, 2022


Yahoo News published an article stating that a ship with 3,300 tons of Ukrainian corn was stranded after running aground off the Turkish coast. The Lady Zehma became grounded after rudder failure 

Following the agreement between Ukraine and Russia to move grain and other products out of the Black Sea Port, the UN has been watching closely. Ukraine — often referred to as Europe’s bread basket — accounted for roughly 10% of global wheat and about 15% of corn production between 2018 and 2020 according to IFPRI. There are continued concerns about the impact of the war on global food stocks. Republished by MSN.com, Business Insider, Emea Tribune, Flipboard, and many other media outlets.
