The Romanian Naval Administration has banned ships with Russian flags from entering its ports. The ban will take effect on Sunday, April 17. This is reported by Ziua de Constanta.
The authorities say that the entry of "any vessel registered under the Russian flag, including ships, replacing the Russian flag on the flag of any other state or replacing their registration in Russia on the registration in any other state after February 24, 2022," will be prohibited.
However, Romania will allow Russian ships, which need assistance or seek a place of refuge, to enter its ports.
An exception will also be made for ships that need an emergency stop.
