RISK LEVEL CHANGES
ITALY Elevated 1.6 from Moderate 1.5: Reflecting an increase in the risk of disruption to ground cargo from increasingly frequent public transport strikes, which
have been driven by trade union demands for higher salaries and improved working conditions.
UKRAINE (Ground: Donbass conflict zone; Marine: Black Sea coast and Sea of Azov within territorial waters): High 3.0 from Very High 3.2: Reflecting reduced risks
to ground and marine cargo from increased communication between Russia and Ukraine on the Donbass conflict resolution, which reduces war risks in the Donetsk and
Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
RISK SCORE CHANGES
COTE D’IVOIRE (Ivory Coast) Elevated 2.2 from Elevated 2.3: Reflecting a reduction in risks to ground cargo from bandits along major roads, due to increased
security forces operations as part of a steady government focus on improving journey times and safety.
ISRAEL High 2.9 from High 2.8: Reflecting increased risks of collateral damage to aviation and ground cargo near the borders with Lebanon and Gaza, following
Hizbullah’s threat to target Israeli surveillance aircraft operating over southern Lebanon.
NORTH KOREA Elevated 2.1 from Elevated 2.0: Reflecting an increased risk to marine vessels in or near North Korean territorial waters due to an increase in North
Korean weapons testing, including firing artillery into its waters and beyond. North Korea no longer regularly issues NOTAMs/no-fly, no-sail notices before testing
.
RUSSIA (Ground: within 200km of the land border with Ukraine. Marine: Black Sea coast within territorial waters): Elevated 2.1 from Elevated 2.3: Reflecting
reduced risks to ground and marine cargo from increased communication between Russia and Ukraine on the Donbass conflict resolution, which reduces war risks in the
Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
RUSSIA (North Caucasus Federal District, less Stavropol Territory): Elevated 2.1 from Elevated 2.3: Reflecting a declining risk to ground cargo as a result of a
reduced terrorist cell activity in the North Caucasus.
