STUDY OF CLIMATE CHANGES AND THEIR IMPACT ON MARITIME TRANSPORT IN THE BLACK SEA AREA
Abstract
In recent years, maritime transport in the Black Sea area, especially along the maritime transport routes that cross this area, has seen a considerable increase compared to previous years. However, navigation takes place not only in ports in Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria but also outside the Black Sea via Turkish straits, connecting with international routes. Maritime transport consists of two main components: passenger transport and freight transport, both components being directly affected by the evolution of the climatic condition. Therefore, in this paper, a study was conducted on the wave climate using data extracted from ERA5 database, a new generation reanalysis for global climate and weather in recent decades. Also, in this study, a comparison was made between the wave conditions for the period 2001-2020 and future projections.
