Four corridors for Russian grain: CIF Mersin milling wheat 12.5%, GASC Egypt (FOB Novorossiysk or CIF Damietta / Alexandria), Caspian Sea from Astrakhan, and FOB Novorossiysk when you arrange ocean freight. Load ports: Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Taman, Azov, Rostov-on-Don. To request a quote, send grade, volume, named port and Incoterms.
Match the contract to a named discharge, a protein and an Incoterm: CIF Mersin milling wheat 12.5% when freight and insurance to the Turkish port sit with the seller; GASC 12.5% FOB or CIF Damietta for GASC-oriented and private mill programmes; Caspian Sea wheat from Astrakhan (or Bandar Abbas for a larger vessel); or FOB Novorossiysk when you already have ocean freight. Market notes for each destination stay on Markets.
Choose FOB when you nominate the vessel. Choose CIF when you want grain, ocean freight and insurance to a named discharge port. Each corridor page states what that Incoterm includes, which sister ports are realistic, how long the sea leg typically takes, which documents travel with the cargo, bulk versus bagged lot sizes, and how escrow releases against the bill of lading. Grade stays narrow. On the Turkey corridor the workhorse is milling wheat 12.5% protein under GOST 9353-2016. On Egypt it is the same 12.5% specification, written for GASC-oriented and private mill programmes. Caspian and FOB pages cover wheat first, with barley and corn available on the same water.
Load geography is shared. Grain leaves Novorossiysk, Tuapse or Taman on the Black Sea, or Azov and Rostov-on-Don when draft and lot size fit the Azov basin. Discharge is what changes: Mersin and Marmara for Turkish mills, Damietta and Alexandria for Egyptian silos, Iranian Caspian terminals from Astrakhan, or Bandar Abbas when the buyer needs a deep-sea vessel. If you want the full chain — vessels, packing, NOR and demurrage — start at logistics, then open the corridor that matches your contract.
