Black Sea Events Map: What Was Reported Around the Black Sea This Week
Events reported around the Black Sea in the last 7 days — ports, shipping, strikes and more — on a map, each with the reports behind it and how precisely it is located.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
In the 7 days to 8 October 2026, 77 events of this kind were reported around the Black Sea and placed on the Delta Watchfloor. This page counts every category of event. Every event shows three things: the reports behind it, how precisely it is located, and whether it could be seen from orbit.

Places named most often
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. The list and the places are taken from a sample of up to 500 events in the window; the total counts every placed event. The area is a rectangle around the sea, so it includes the coasts on every side and events on land near them. Updated hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.

Looking at These Events From Orbit
Radar imagery works day or night and through cloud. On the Map, vessel detection can be run on Sentinel-1 radar over a port. See the Sentinel-1 SAR viewer and the Sentinel-2 viewer, or read how the Watchfloor works.
