Black Sea

Currently, Ukraine continues to monitor the spread of the fuel oil spill, and no danger to the Odessa region has yet been recorded.

Sailors have once again destroyed a sea mine that washed up on the coast of the Odesa region.

The Black Sea container terminals of Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine handled 979,000 TEU in the first nine months of 2024, including empty containers and transhipment.

For the next six months, the leadership of the Mine Action Task Force in the Black Sea has passed from Turkey to Bulgaria.

The countries of the Black Sea region have agreed on a joint strategy to overcome the environmental crisis caused by the accident of Russian tankers.

According to the Ministry of Environment, there is no threat to the coast of Odesa due to the fuel oil spill from Russian tankers.

The accident of Russian oil tankers in the Black Sea caused an ecological disaster, which has already killed more than fifty dolphins.

As a result of the accident of Russian tankers near the Kerch Strait, more than 4,300 tons of fuel oil and other petroleum products spilled into the Black Sea.

It is expected that Ukraine will receive two mine-clearing ships from the Netherlands, and one more from Belgium.

Fuel oil, which after the accident is leaking from the Russian tankers “Volgoneft 212” and “Volgoneft 239”, will lead to the death of marine life – fish, dolphins and waterfowl.
