The Maritime Security Forum is launching a new monthly monitoring and analysis section dedicated to security developments in the Black Sea region. The publication aims to systematically document maritime incidents, the evolution of conventional, asymmetric and hybrid threats, the security of commercial shipping and critical maritime infrastructure, as well as the institutional and operational responses of the littoral states, NATO and the European Union. Each edition includes a summary of key events, maps and timelines of incidents, trend analysis, risk assessment and prospective scenarios. Through this initiative, the Maritime Security Forum aims to contribute to the development of an integrated understanding of regional security and to strengthen the capacity to anticipate and prevent maritime risks.
Inaugural edition: October 2026
Maritime security in the Black Sea – Incidents, allied response and trend assessment.
The report is based on open-source information, whilst the interpretations and forward-looking assessments represent analyses by the Maritime Security Forum.
