>Another looming issue may be whether insurers are willing to provide cover for grain shipments if Russia is not participating in the deal.

That could be a problem if one gets sunk, i always find it fascinating how they managed to keep supplying the UK in ww2 considering the amount of shipping that got sunk.

Russia won't attack the ships they don't want to risk NATO involvement, they will just increase bombing on the docks and storage because they are petty cawerds.
