Why this list
The United Nations Black Sea Grain Initiative allowed commercial food and fertilizer exports by sea from three Ukrainian ports — Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny/Pivdennyi — with a Joint Coordination Centre in Istanbul monitoring it. It was not renewed after its third term expired on 17 July 2023.
The list covers the main cargo ports on every shore: Bulgaria and Romania in the west, Ukraine in the north-west, Russia in the north-east, Georgia in the east and Türkiye in the south.
A hand-picked sample of the larger commercial ports in the location registry, not every harbour on the Black Sea. Chornomorsk is not on the list because the registry has no entry for its port yet, and ports in Crimea are not included.
