# Black Sea war risk reaches Romania and Bulgaria ports

> After a containership sank off Bulgaria following sea-drone strikes, some shipowners are seeking to refuse orders to Romanian and Bulgarian ports. CMA CGM plans a $35-per-TEU war-risk surcharge on Black Sea cargo from November 9, while IKAR cut its 2026/27 Russian wheat export forecast to 39.5 million tonnes from 42 million.

## Why it matters

Higher war-risk charges and reluctance to call at ports can raise freight costs and constrain Black Sea grain flows, supporting wheat prices and ocean freight rates.
