Turkey limits Black Sea navigation amid tensions
Turkey has imposed restrictions on commercial ships' movement in the Black Sea through the Dardanelles Strait following an escalation in attacks on vessels in the region, including the targeting of both local and foreign ships with drones. These incidents have resulted in injuries and threaten global oil and grain supplies. The General Directorate of Coastal Safety has ceased issuing transit permits or has delayed ship passage requests to ports such as Novorossiysk and Ukraine, without an official explanation, amid rising security tensions and their impact on supply chains. These measures come at a time when Turkey is calling for an end to the attacks to safeguard commercial navigation, and global markets are worried about increased pressure on energy and food prices as a result.
