Romanian submarine Delfinul
gamma (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: gamma.
Delfinul (Dolphin) is the Kilo class submarine of the Romanian Naval Forces. It was commissioned in August 1985 and is currently the only Romanian submarine in service. Due to a lack of funding the submarine is inactive since 1995 and kept in reserve docked in the military sector of the Port of Constanţa. Currently the Romanian MoD has plans to overhaul the submarine during 2009, so the submarine would re-enter service later that year.

Looks like a could be a Kh-22/As-4 "KITCHEN". I'm not an expert on cruise missiles, but it is an interesting find.

By: Mike_bjm.
Amano-T is a geared bulk carrier ship which was built in 1996 and is flagged in Belize.
The Amano-T has an overall length of 167 metres and bean 26.2 metres.
From vessel tracking on the Marine Traffic website the Amano-T would appear to call at ports in west Africa including those on the Gulf of Guinea. The self-gearing of the Amano-T would enable operations from many of the ports in this area where there is little or no infrastructure.

Port Struggles to Export Ukrainian Grain – June 2022
Mike_bjm (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Mike_bjm.
On Friday 24th June 2022 the Associated Press reported that because of the blockade of Ukraine’s seaports the Romanian port of Constanta had become the main conduit for exporting its neighbour’s grain.
The grain terminal at Constanta is Europe’s fasting loading terminal for cereals and has already processed over 1 million tons of Ukraine’s grain. However, the operator Convex has stated that it is struggling to keep up and that to increase throughput it will require concerted EU support and investment.
The appeal for support has not fallen on deaf ears and the leaders of France, Germany and Italy have assured Klaus Iohannis, the Romanian president, that they will strive to prevent the ‘weaponization’ of grain exports.
