Stevedoring company Bega sent a tanker with 15 thsd tonnes of Ukrainian sunflower oil from the port of Klaipeda (Lithuania), ЦТС reports.
"This is the first large shipment of Ukrainian food products exported through the port of Klaipeda", – the chairman of the company's board of directors Aloizas Kuzmarskis said.
Bega did not specify the port of destination, but the previous cargo of Ukrainian oil was exported to the port of Dunkirk (France).
Ukrainian food products have been arriving in Klaipeda since May. Before this shipment, corn and oils were exported via Bega company in small batches or combined with Lithuanian cargoes.
According to A. Kuzmarskis, such a cargo transshipment route is promising. He also emphasized that "the challenges associated with the arrival of Ukrainian cargoes at the port were overcome, the flows stabilized, and the logistics time was reduced".
Ukrainian agricultural products arrive in Lithuania via Poland. Cargos are transported by subsidiaries of the Lithuanian Railways – LTG Cargo and LTG Cargo Polska together with their partners.
