Turkey maritime security efforts in the Black Sea

Overview

Turkey has reaffirmed its commitment to the Montreux Convention, maintaining a ban on warships entering the Black Sea to promote regional stability. This stance follows reports of pressure from NATO members for freer naval passage through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits.

Amid concerns regarding maritime security and reports of Ukrainian drones targeting civilian vessels, Turkey has engaged in consultations with Russia and Ukraine to establish mechanisms to prevent attacks on ships.

Building on these efforts, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a permanent mechanism to ensure the safety of commercial maritime transport in the Black Sea. This initiative aims to protect all civilian vessels and mitigate a potential grain crisis, with Turkish officials working on plans for the safe passage of grain through the region.
