Three of the ship\u2019s crew members \u2014 Philippine nationals \u2014 were also injured, according to Ukraine\u2019s authorities. ArcelorMittal confirmed that the ship was due to carry its cargo. Oleksandr Kubrakov, Ukraine\u2019s infrastructure minister, said the iron ore was destined for China. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Kubrakov insisted the trade corridor was still active despite Russian attacks on Ukraine\u2019s ports. Six ships carrying 231,000 tonnes of agricultural products had departed from\u00a0Odesa region ports since the attack and five more were waiting at port entrances to load, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on the social media platform X, Kubrakov said vessel traffic on the corridor \u201ccontinues both to and from the ports\u201d. He added that Ukrainian defence forces \u201care doing everything possible to resist the attacks of the aggressor country on the port infrastructure\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Intercargo, which represents shipowners, condemned what it called an act of aggression and said it was \u201ca stark reminder of the fragility of maritime safety and security\u201d. It added: \u201cBulk carriers, manned by innocent seafarers, represent the epitome of non-combatant vessels.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It was not immediately clear whether the ship was the target of the strike or was hit during an attack on port infrastructure \u2014 or hit by debris from Ukrainian air defences. But Ukraine\u2019s MTWTU maritime union said the ship had been hit by a missile targeting vessels\u2019 radar systems. That would suggest a deliberate attempt to hit the ship.<\/p>\n<p>Neil Roberts, head of marine insurance at the Lloyd\u2019s Market Association, said it still made economic sense at present for insurers, cargo owners, charterers and shipowners to continue shipments. But shipowners had to consider the safety of their crew and if attacks continued, there might be a rethink.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts said there would probably be at least a temporary rise in war risk\u00a0insurance premiums for the area.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Robert Wright, Roman Olearchyk and Alexandra White<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0b08fad0-3c0e-4374-889b-ae78e1d3c5d6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay informed with free updates Simply sign up to the War in Ukraine myFT Digest &#8212; delivered directly to your inbox.
