The Turkish flagged Polarnet cargo ship, which departed from Ukraine's port of Chornomorsk on Friday carrying 12,000 tons of corn, docks at the port of Derince in northeastern Turkey.

The deal brokered by Turkey and the UN lifted a Russian blockade of Ukraine's ports and set terms for millions of tonnes of wheat and other grain to start flowing from silos and ports. IMAGES
