Vera involved in transfer of allegedly stolen Ukrainian grain
The bulk carrier 'Bomustafa O' (IMO: 9114476), which Ukrainian officials claimed to be loaded with 19000 tonnes of grain stolen from occupied territories, has left the port of Samsun on April 25, 2023, and proceeded to an anchorage. Ukrainian prosecutors in Kyiv asked Turkish authorities to seize the 'Bomoustafa O'. The grain was allegedly transferred via a ship-to-ship transfer on Kavkaz anchorage from the 'Vera', (IMO: 8602957) which had loaded it in the occupied Crimea port of Kerch with its AIS off at the end of March. The 'Vera' frequently operates off the radar, recording 13 AIS gaps since the incursion started. The 'Bomustafa O' arrived at Kavkaz anchorage, an STS area used in Russia’s legitimate grain export, on March 23. It was anchored in the south of the Kerch Strait for 20 days, recording nine AIS gaps during this time.
