Riskiest Shipping Route
The Black Sea has become more dangerous for shipping than the Strait of Hormuz, with more than 300 attacks on vessels recorded since the start of the year, leaving over 30 sailors dead and more than 20 missing. By comparison, there have been around 130 attacks and 25 deaths in the Strait of Hormuz and Middle Eastern waters. Russia has targeted ships carrying Ukrainian food exports, while Ukraine has attacked Russian vessels. In October, the attacks spread to waters near Romania and Bulgaria. The number of ships entering the Black Sea through the Bosphorus fell by 41% in October, while traffic in both directions declined by 38%, as European efforts gathered pace to establish a maritime security center in the region.
