The Black Sea has become the world’s most dangerous shipping lane, overtaking the Strait of Hormuz, as Russian and Ukrainian attacks on commercial vessels intensify and spread to areas near NATO members Romania and Bulgaria. Since the start of the year, more than 570 vessels have come under attack and at least 40 seafarers have been killed, compared with 24 confirmed deaths in the Strait of Hormuz. Between May and October, 317 vessels were targeted in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov—more than four times the number in the preceding period. The security risks have been compounded by a decline in Ukrainian grain exports and shipping insurance costs reaching record levels, while analysts say the attacks are testing the limits of NATO’s response.
