Ukraine - Security
*** ALERT: On 24 February 2022 Russia launched a large scale invasion of Ukraine which is ongoing. As yachts are not currently visiting Ukraine, we have moved Ukraine to the inactive country list. ***
Ukraine Security for Yachts
The situation in Ukraine is very unstable and visiting at this time is not advisable. See UK FCO website for the latest advice.
NATO Shipping Centre and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) have advised that vessels should avoid entering or approaching the Sea of Azov, Ukrainian ports, or Ukrainian territorial waters in the northwestern Black Sea. Further, there is a risk of collateral damage in the northwestern, western, and southwestern Black Sea from the threat of drifting mines.
Black Sea Coast: Since late February, there have been reports of naval mines in the water near Odesa, Ukraine. Media reports and Turkish government statements indicate that Turkish and Romanian authorities have neutralized potentially explosive mines drifting across the Black Sea.
