       Ukrainian grain arrived in Turkey through a temporary corridor across the Black Sea today. It is about the Aroyat bulk carrier under the flag of Palau, which, loaded with 17,600 tons of wheat, left the port of Chornomorsk on Friday, September 22, and headed for Egypt.According to Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder, the Aroyat was at the southern exit of the Bosphorus at 03:00 GMT on Sunday, September 24. He had to go to the Dardanelles to reach the Mediterranean Sea.

       @noelreportsI think in English ships are traditionally "she"?

       @AndersGottliebNo idea, in Polish almost every noun is either "he" or "she", and there's not much logic in it — for example cabbage (kapusta) is feminine, while potato (ziemniak) is masculine 😁 With a native language like this whether ship is he or she is your least worry 😁 And in Polish it can be both, as boat (łódź) is she, but ship (okręt, statek) are he.@noelreports

       @kravietz @noelreports Yes, Ships are generally referred to as “she” in English.https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/why-do-ships-have-a-gender

       @kravietz @AndersGottlieb @noelreports well, maybe this ship is not traditional and doesn't want to follow traditional gender roles.to be safe, we should just ask the Aroyat directly about which is the preferred gender.looking at the ship profile on MarineTraffic it seems that the Aroyat identifies as a female.

       @chowderman @kravietz @noelreports not only in English. As far as I know almost all languages use female form for boats and ships.

       @Walter8100000 @chowderman @kravietz @noelreports no. In Slavic ships are ‘he’

       @chowdermanI've check synonyms in Polish...* Statek M — most universal term* Okręt M — mostly refers to military vessels and submarines (okręt podwodny)* Łódź F — boat, can be also used for submarines (łódź podwodna) but sailors frown at this as it gives away a non-mariner :)* Łajba F — slang@liilliil @Walter8100000 @noelreports
