Ukraine has since destroyed or damaged at least a third of its composition. Ukraine Restores Ferry Service to Georgia Across Black Sea, Suspended Due to War with Russia The
first voyage from Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast, to Batumi, Georgia, is set for 9 July, with a journey time of around 60 hours. The route will be serviced by the Kaunas, a car-rail/passenger ferry built in Germany in 1989. The vessel boasts 250 passenger seats in various cabin types, a restaurant, bar, lounge, entertainment areas, and a children's play zone.
