Steel and corn continue to flow from major Ukraine Black Sea ports that are operating normally despite rising political tensions, say officials and traders.
"All the loading and unloading operations are being conducted on time; all stevedore companies are working normally as well," Ukraine's infrastructure ministry said in a statement, Reuters reported.
Ukraine ports have shipped some 22.7 million tonnes of various cargoes since the start of 2014, roughly equal to turnover by the same date a year ago.
