The Black Sea has become the world’s most dangerous shipping route this year, surpassing the Strait of Hormuz. More than 300 attacks have left over 30 sailors dead and more than 20 missing, compared with around 130 attacks and 25 deaths in the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East. The attacks have taken place amid the Russia-Ukraine war: Russia has targeted commercial vessels, while Ukraine has retaliated with drone strikes on Russian ships. The attacks have disrupted trade and led shipping companies to avoid the area. Traffic through the Bosphorus Strait fell 41% in October compared with the same month last year, while incidents have spread to waters near Romania and Bulgaria, both NATO members. To bolster maritime security, the European Union has allocated €50 million to establish a Black Sea security center and €10 million for Romanian search-and-rescue operations.
