Autoritatea Navală: Navele scufundate au poluat Marea Neagră cu hidrocarburi. Sunt șanse să ajungă la țărm? • Newsweek România
Recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Black Sea have resulted in pollution from hydrocarbons due to sunken ships. The Romanian Naval Authority confirmed that satellite observations detected hydrocarbon slicks on the water's surface. Although the risk of pollution reaching the Romanian coastline is considered low, monitoring is ongoing. The economic impact includes a significant rise in insurance costs for oil transport vessels, which has increased over tenfold. Preparations for potential marine pollution incidents are regulated by a national response plan, ensuring coordinated actions in case of such events.
