In this episode, of What’s Going On In Shipping, maritime historian Sal Mercogliano discusses how the conflict in the Black Sea between Ukraine and Russia may further escalate to start targeting grain ships coming out of the Danube and Romania, while Ukraine could target Russian ships out of the Sea of Azov and Novorossiysk. Included in this analysis is two stories on the growth of the conflict in the Black Sea by Admiral James Stavridis and Admiral James Foggo.
