Maritime Transport is the focus of the latest CMA factsheet for the Black Sea and MARSPLAN-BS II is pointed as one of the important projects that supports Maritime Transport in the Black Sea. Sea transport is a key for Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP).
The Black Sea is a maritime space to plan and transform. The region is an important crossroads through which many goods transit, and furthermore an economic area with high potential for blue growth. The Black Sea region accounts for more than 34% of natural gas and oil imports to the EU; these are mostly produced onshore but recently there has also been development in offshore areas, i.e., 8% of Romania’s overall production is offshore crude.
Funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) via the European Commission` DG MARE and EASME/CINEA, MARSPLAN-BS II aimed to develop maritime spatial plans and a common cross-border strategy for Bulgaria and Romania.
