Bellingcat presents an open-source investigation showing the bulk carrier Grumant docked at occupied Feodosia in February 2026 (confirmed by high-resolution satellite imagery and AIS heading analysis despite GNSS interference), loitering near Turkish anchorages, and ultimately delivering grain to Benghazi, Libya in April 2026; the report explains the verification techniques, highlights patterns of illicit ‘‘shadow fleet’’ grain exports from occupied Ukrainian ports, and outlines diplomatic and legal responses.
