We previously reported on escalating Black Sea shipping risks after two chemical tankers caught fire near Romania’s Danube canal approach, leaving crew members missing and rescue efforts hampered by rough seas. The incidents followed a string of suspected drone-related attacks on commercial vessels near Romania and Bulgaria, heightening concerns over the security of a key grain-export corridor and broader commodity flows in the region.
