On 12th October, Malta Flagged vessel M/V Chelsea-3 was struck by three drones whilst sailing in the Black Sea, whilst it was around 18 miles from the Bulgarian coast.

When discussing the impact which this attack could have on vessel insurance premiums, "Lawyer Cedric Mifsud, a Founding Partner of Mifsud and Mifsud Advocates who specialises in commercial law, adds that insurance prices have already been rising, and will continue to climb globally with instability. “Insurance companies will closely monitor what is going on, so situations such as this don’t help vessel operators,” he said.

Asked what would happen next from a Maltese perspective, he said that the flag jurisdiction, in this case through Transport Malta, could investigate to ascertain the facts, such as to ensure that the reason given for the damage is what the vessel declares, how the vessel has been affected, whether the vessel is still seaworthy etc."
