Partially sunken capsized vessel off Romania, Black Sea
On 25 Oct 2026 a partially sunken, capsized vessel M/V KHORYV was reported in the Black Sea off Romania. The vessel remains afloat but capsized at the reported position. Three crew members are reported missing. Mariners are instructed to keep a sharp lookout and remain at least 1 nautical mile clear; report sightings to MRCC Constanta.
Keep a sharp lookout; keep a safe distance of at least 1 nautical mile from the vessel; report any relevant information to MRCC Constanta on VHF CH 16 or by email.
Background
MRCC Constanta is Romania's maritime rescue coordination centre responsible for search and rescue in Romanian waters of the Black Sea. A capsized or partially sunken merchant vessel in this area poses both immediate SAR needs for missing crew and a navigation hazard for passing ships. Coastal waters off Romania carry commercial and fishing traffic, so nearby vessels are asked to keep clear and assist reporting. Authorities will likely coordinate salvage and SAR operations to mark or remove the hazard.
