The official English text, printed on the Directorate\u2019s avize-radio page and published 6 November 2026, states: BLACK SEA. ROMANIA. MOB. F\/V &#8220;SEA ANGEL 1&#8221; has reported MOB on day of 06 NOV26, 13.12 UTC in position 44-11,68 N 028-43,60 E. All ships in the vicinity of this position and all ships transiting this area are requested to keep a sharp lookout. Report any relevant information in this regard to MRCC Constanta in VHF CH 16 or via e-mail: MRCC@RNA.RO. The Romanian page prints the same plot as om la ap\u0103, 6 November 2026, ora local\u0103 15:12, F\/V &#8220;SEA ANGEL 1&#8221;, 44-11,68 N 028-43,60 E, toate navele din apropiere \u0219i cele care traverseaz\u0103 zona sunt rugate s\u0103 fie atente, and the same VHF 16 \/ MRCC@RNA.RO report line. Industry coastal reprints and SeaLagom carry the notice as 168\/26. The Directorate printed no cancel DTG on the English body retrieved this morning.<\/p>\n<p>That is the working primary. Saturday morning\u2019s product is a named-hull man-overboard lookout, not a rewrite of Friday afternoon\u2019s dedicated 167\/26 Neptun-shelf training circle, not a reprint of this week\u2019s dedicated 166\/26 Midia prohibited firing box, and not a second 14 October Platforma Centrala MOB. It names the fishing vessel. It names a 13.12 UTC 6 November clock. It names 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E. It names a sharp lookout and a report to MRCC Constanta. It does not name an IMO number. It does not name a flag, a crew count, a lifejacket line, a search unit, a numeric berth, a wreck buoy, or a harbour-master closure of Constanta or Midia. It does not print a cancel clock. Friday afternoon\u2019s dedicated 167\/26 piece on this desk remains a potentially dangerous training exercise on 9 November, 20 km radius, centred 44-02.80 N 030-35.20 E, avoid entering, cancel 092130 UTC 9 November. This morning\u2019s dedicated 166\/26 remains real firing on 12 and 13 November, 0700\u20131300 UTC, seven corners around 44-21 N 028-52 E, prohibited area to navigation, cancel 131400 UTC 13 November. Wednesday night\u2019s dedicated 164\/2026 remains real firing on 11 and 12 November, 0700\u20131200 UTC, four corners around 43-50 N 028-59.5 E, cancel 121300 UTC 12 November. Those products sit on different geometries. Masters who brief Saturday morning as a 167\/26 reprint, as a Midia firing converted into a person in the water, as a second 14 October Platforma Centrala MOB, or as a closed Constanta search will have merged a 6 November fishing-vessel lookout onto four other series.<\/p>\n<h2>What the warning actually printed<\/h2>\n<p>The hydrographic text is short and is the working primary. BLACK SEA. ROMANIA. MOB. Published 6 November 2026. F\/V &#8220;SEA ANGEL 1&#8221; has reported MOB on 6 November 2026, 13.12 UTC, in position 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E. All ships in the vicinity and all ships transiting this area are requested to keep a sharp lookout. Report any relevant information to MRCC Constanta on VHF channel 16 or by e-mail to MRCC@RNA.RO. That is the product. Stay with that wording. The Directorate printed a hull name. It printed a 13.12 UTC clock. It printed a plot. It printed a lookout and a report line. It did not print an IMO number. It did not print a flag, a call sign, an MMSI, a length, or a fishery licence. It did not print \u201cjumped,\u201d \u201clifejacket,\u201d \u201cblack clothing,\u201d a search-unit name, a helicopter, a cancel of the search, or a finding. It did not print a keep-clear in nautical miles or cables. It did not print a wreck buoy, a least depth, or a pollution line. It did not close Constanta, Midia, Mangalia or the Sulina Canal. It did not print a cancel DTG. The instruction is a sharp lookout plus a report to MRCC Constanta, not a prohibited firing box and not a 20 km training circle.<\/p>\n<p>The geometry is the first briefing fact. 44-11.68 N, 028-43.60 E sits on the doorstep of Constanta, west of recommended-track-2 waypoint 44-11.33 N, 028-50.86 E, and south of this week\u2019s dedicated 166\/26 south wall at 44-13.10 N. The Constanta traffic-separation scheme and the recommended landfall at 43-47.59 N, 028-50.86 E remain on the standing routes notice; this plot is not that landfall. It is not 44-02.80 N, 030-35.20 E. It is not 44-21 N, 028-52 E. It is not 43-50 N, 028-59.5 E. It is not 14 October\u2019s dedicated Platforma Centrala MOB at 44-31.35 N, 029-33.88 E. A sharp-lookout sentence around a named fishing vessel is a lookout, not a closed disc. Do not invent a two-nautical-mile berth from cancelled 162\/2026. Do not invent a 20 km halo from 167\/26. Do not invent a prohibited heptagon from 166\/26. Plot 44-11.68 N, 028-43.60 E. Keep a lookout in the vicinity and on transits through that water. Report to MRCC Constanta. Do not treat Constanta as closed.<\/p>\n<p>The clock is the second briefing fact. English prints 13.12 UTC on 6 November. Romanian prints 15:12 local on 6 November. Those match: Eastern European Time in November is UTC+2. The Directorate did not print a start of search, a stop of search, a 1730 local kill, or a cancel DTG on the numbered notice. A passage plan that treats the lookout as live only through Friday evening because a local newsroom reported a search cancelled at 17:30 local has borrowed colour that the ARN does not print. A passage plan that drops the lookout at sunrise on 7 November because \u201cthe search is over\u201d has under-read a notice that still sits on the live avize-radio page with no cancel clock. A passage plan that keeps a Constanta-approaches MOB watch as a standing wreck symbol after a later ARN cancels it has over-read this file. Hold 13.12 UTC 6 November as the report clock. Hold the lookout until a later ARN cancels or amends 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E. Do not invent a 092130 UTC kill from 167\/26. Do not invent a 131400 UTC kill from 166\/26.<\/p>\n<p>The missing cancel, berth, IMO and search-unit lines are omissions, not a completed SAR order. Friday afternoon\u2019s 167\/26 printed a 20 km radius and a 092130 UTC cancel and still printed neither hull nor VHF. 168\/26 prints a hull, a plot, a lookout and a VHF 16 \/ MRCC@RNA.RO report and still prints neither radius nor cancel. Do not restore a two-nautical-mile circle. Do not invent a five-cable keep-clear from dedicated Khoryv files. Do not invent Channel 16 as a range-safety net; on this notice it is the MRCC report channel. Do not promote a named SAR ship, a berth number in Constanta, or a helicopter onto the hydrographic text. Give the hull, the clock, the plot, the lookout and the mailbox.<\/p>\n<p>The Romanian public map-page number is a label split, not a rewrite of Friday afternoon\u2019s training circle. The live Romanian avize-radio list currently prints ARN 167\/2026 next to this morning\u2019s om la ap\u0103 item. That is the same map-page shift this desk has already seen on this coastline: the public list attaches an older number to the newest card. Official English published 6 November does not print a number in the body retrieved this morning. Industry coastal reprints and SeaLagom number the SEA ANGEL 1 MOB as 168\/26 and still number the 9 November training circle as 167\/26. Friday afternoon\u2019s dedicated file remains ARN 167\/26, 20 km, 44-02.80 N 030-35.20 E, cancel 092130 UTC 9 November. Do not overwrite that file with this morning\u2019s lookout. Do not brief 168\/26 as \u201c167 reprinted as a person in the water.\u201d Log industry 168\/26 against the 6 November English MOB body. Log the map-page 167 tag as a label discrepancy, not as a second Neptun-shelf amendment.<\/p>\n<h2>What this is not, and the same-coast hydrographic colour<\/h2>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of ARN 167\/26, and it is not a 20 km training circle converted into a MOB. Friday afternoon\u2019s dedicated Directorate piece remains: potentially dangerous training exercise, 9 November 2026, circular area radius 20 km, centred 44-02.80 N 030-35.20 E, avoid entering, exercise caution in the vicinity, do not interfere, cancel 092130 UTC 9 November. That centre sits on the order of 80 nautical miles east of this morning\u2019s 028-43.60 E plot. A fishing-vessel lookout on the Constanta doorstep and a Monday training disc on the Neptun shelf are two instruments. Do not brief Saturday morning as \u201c167 became a person in the water.\u201d Do not drop 167\/26 because 168\/26 exists. The training circle still occupies 44-02.80 N on 9 November. The MOB lookout occupies 44-11.68 N until a later ARN says otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of ARN 166\/26, and it is not a Midia firing converted into a search. This week\u2019s dedicated Directorate piece remains: real firing, 12 and 13 November, 0700\u20131300 UTC, 44-25.43 N 028-42.50 E, 44-29.50 N 028-55.58 E, 44-25.08 N 029-01.20 E, 44-19.70 N 029-00.82 E, 44-14.57 N 028-57.93 E, 44-13.10 N 028-56.33 E and 44-22.08 N 028-42.42 E, prohibited area to navigation, cancel 131400 UTC 13 November. That polygon is about 16 nautical miles north\u2013south around 44-21 N, 028-52 E, on the doorstep of Midia. This morning\u2019s plot is 44-11.68 N, 028-43.60 E, south of that south wall and west of that west-to-east span. Do not brief Saturday morning as \u201c166 opened early as a MOB.\u201d Do not drop 166\/26 because 168\/26 exists. The Midia box still fires on 12 and 13 November.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of ARN 164\/2026, and it is not a 43-50 N move. Wednesday night\u2019s dedicated Directorate piece remains: real firing, 11 and 12 November, 0700\u20131200 UTC, 43-45.00 N 028-51.00 E, 43-55.00 N 028-51.00 E, 43-55.00 N 029-08.00 E, 43-45.00 N 029-08.00 E, dangerous to navigation, ships that do not participate should avoid the area, cancel 121300 UTC 12 November. That rectangle sits around 43-50 N, 028-59.5 E, on the doorstep of recommended landfall 43-47.59 N, 028-50.86 E. This morning\u2019s plot is more than 20 nautical miles north of that north wall. Do not brief Saturday morning as that rectangle moved north. Do not drop 164\/2026 at sunrise on 7 November.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of ARN 144\/2026, and it is not a second Platforma Centrala MOB. The 14 October Directorate piece remains on the same avize-radio page: on day of 14 OCT26, 11.44 UTC, PLATFORM CENTRALA has reported MOB in position 44-31.35 N 029-33.88 E, sharp lookout, report MRCC Constanta VHF 16 or MRCC@RNA.RO. That plot is on the order of 40 nautical miles north-east of this morning\u2019s 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E. Different hull, different clock, different water. 168\/26 names SEA ANGEL 1, not PLATFORM CENTRALA. Do not collapse Saturday morning onto the 14 October lookout. Do not treat 44-31.35 N as this morning\u2019s working position. Do not treat 11.44 UTC 14 October as this morning\u2019s clock.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of ARN 163\/2026, and it is not a Mangalia piping move. Wednesday afternoon\u2019s dedicated Directorate piece remains: protection works, floating piping, 43-46.38 N 028-34.86 E and three other corners, keep clear, cancel 152159 UTC 15 December. That box is about 1.2 by 1.1 nautical miles around 43-46.7 N, 028-35.8 E, inshore and south of both this morning\u2019s plot and next week\u2019s firing products. 168\/26 prints neither piping nor 43-46 N. Do not brief Saturday morning as \u201cthe hose became a MOB.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of cancelled ARN 162\/2026, and it is not a Khoryv move. Sunday 1 November\u2019s dedicated Directorate piece remains the last Romanian drifting-object watch on this desk: ARN 162\/2026, 44-30.94 N 029-33.70 E, two-nautical-mile berth, cancel 021000 UTC 2 November. That cancel has passed. Tuesday 27 October\u2019s dedicated ARN 158\/2026 remains the last Romanian wreck-move on M\/V Khoryv: 43-49.50 N, 028-53.37 E, remains afloat, capsized, three missing, one-nautical-mile keep-clear. Thursday 29 October\u2019s dedicated Bulgarian NAVWARN 766\/26 remains the working five-cable keep-clear east of Shabla at 43-30.60 N, 028-43.69 E. 168\/26 prints neither a drifting object nor Khoryv nor 44-30.94 N. Do not brief Saturday morning as \u201cthe 44-30 N object became a person in the water.\u201d Do not borrow 162\/2026\u2019s two nautical miles onto a lookout that prints no berth.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a rewrite of NAVWARN 797\/26, and it is not Mentor, Contship Jet or Akademik. Thursday 5 November\u2019s dedicated 797\/26 remains unmanned tanker Mentor, IMO 9340374, at 43-25.1 N 028-37.0 E. Thursday 29 October\u2019s dedicated 768\/26 remains Contship Jet sunk at 43-07.80 N 028-45.36 E. Wednesday night\u2019s dedicated 789\/26 remains Akademik, one nautical mile, through 30 November. Dedicated 777\/26 remains cutter 331, now past 061600 UTC 6 November. 168\/26 does not name those hulls and does not print 43-25.1 N. A Constanta-approaches fishing-vessel lookout and a Bulgarian unmanned-tanker file are two instruments. Do not convert Saturday morning into Thursday\u2019s dedicated Mentor watch because both sit on the western Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>Local-news colour, held separately and not as a 168\/26 fact: a Constanta newsroom on 6 November reported MRCC requesting ARSVOM at 15:21 local, SAR ARTEMIS sailing from dana 78, a person from SEA ANGEL 1 in the water, an ANR line that the person had entered the water in dark clothing without a lifejacket, an ARSVOM line that the search was running about six nautical miles off Constanta, and an MRCC line that the search was cancelled at 17:30 local with the person not found. That colour does not amend the ARN. The Directorate printed neither \u201cjumped,\u201d \u201clifejacket,\u201d \u201cARTEMIS,\u201d \u201cdana 78,\u201d \u201csix nautical miles,\u201d nor a 17:30 local cancel. Do not promote a newsroom search-cancelled line onto a hydrographic lookout that is still on the live page with no cancel DTG. Do not brief Saturday morning as a completed SAR closed file because a Friday afternoon newsroom said the ship had returned to base.<\/p>\n<p>This is not Wednesday afternoon\u2019s dedicated NAVAREA III 0169\/26, and it is not last night\u2019s dedicated NAVAREA IX 432\/26. 0169\/26 is the Britoil Centurion oceanographic track in the Central Mediterranean through 15 February 2027. 432\/26 remains the partially submerged container at 25-09.71N 054-54.06E, cancel 082359 UTC 8 November. Neither number prints 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E. This is also not dedicated 431\/26\u2019s Fujairah jack-up on SKATE 3D, not last night\u2019s dedicated UKMTO 197-26 tanker waterline explosion 16 NM east of Khasab, and not Friday afternoon\u2019s dedicated IMO 129-count \/ 25-fatality sheet. Those are Southern Gulf and Hormuz products. They do not belong on a Romanian 44-11.7 N lookout.<\/p>\n<p>Official HNHS NAVWARN 1342\/2026, English board 6 November, CRETAN SEA. CRETE ISLAND. DRAPANO POINT. FORACS CHECKS, 9\u201313 November, 0600Z\u20131600Z each day, crossing prohibited, is the other dedicated file on this 0330 UTC Saturday desk, not a second 168\/26 piece. Official HNHS 1338\/2026 Maroneia NE mole-head red light 40 52 36N 025 30 26E UNLIT and 1339\/2026 Vistonikos Bay Imeros Port east mole-head red light 40 56 00N 025 21 40E UNLIT remain unused as dedicated. Official HNHS 1343\/2026 Fournoi firing, 080600Z\u2013081500Z 8 November, remains wrap, unused as dedicated. Official NAVAREA II 386\/2026, Pointe Noire, several containers and heavy floating debris adrift in vicinity 04-11S 010-39E on 02 November, cancel 072100 UTC 7 November, remains unused as dedicated.<\/p>\n<h2>Operational implications<\/h2>\n<p>For a master inbound to Constanta, Midia or Mangalia, or running recommended track 2 past 44-11.33 N, 028-50.86 E toward the Constanta TSS, Saturday morning is a lookout and report problem on the harbour doorstep before it is a war-risk rewrite. The Directorate named the fishing vessel, named 13.12 UTC on 6 November, named 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E, and named a sharp lookout plus MRCC Constanta on VHF 16 or MRCC@RNA.RO. A man-overboard lookout under a vicinity-and-transit sentence is a live search product for ships that are in that water, even when a newsroom has already printed a Friday-afternoon search cancel that the ARN does not carry. It is not AIS-optional. It is not a port closure. It is not 167\/26\u2019s 20 km disc. It is not 166\/26\u2019s prohibited heptagon. A passage plan that only carried Friday afternoon\u2019s Neptun-shelf circle, or that treated the Constanta approaches as empty because the Midia box does not fire until 12 November, has not budgeted a named fishing-vessel MOB on 44-11.68 N.<\/p>\n<p>The 6\u201313 November tape is the operational content. 168\/26 occupies 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E from the 6 November publication with no printed kill time. 167\/26 occupies 44-02.80 N from the 6 November publication through 092130 UTC on 9 November, with the named exercise day on 9 November. 164\/2026 still occupies 43-50 N from 0700 to 1200 UTC on 11 and 12 November and cancels at 121300 UTC on 12 November. 166\/26 occupies 44-21 N from 0700 to 1300 UTC on 12 November and again on 13 November, cancel 131400 UTC 13 November. A master who only plots one \u201cRomanian notice\u201d for Saturday week has under-read four numbers. Charterers who still treat the Romanian coast as a quiet alternative to Ukrainian ports now have a Constanta-approaches MOB lookout with no printed cancel, a Monday training disc on the Neptun shelf, a two-morning avoid box on the doorstep of 43-47.59 N landfall, a two-morning prohibited box on the doorstep of Midia, a six-week unnamed piping watch west of track 1, a still-open Khoryv file on a different plot, a still-open Contship Jet container watch farther south on the Bulgarian board, a still-open Mentor unmanned-tanker file, and a still-open Akademik mile inside Bulgarian territorial sea. Deviation language that treats 168\/26 as a Constanta shutdown has misread a lookout with no berth and no harbour-master closure. War-risk underwriters will ask for the hull, the 13.12 UTC clock, the 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E plot, the sharp-lookout sentence, the MRCC mailbox, the missing cancel, and a written statement that this notice is not 167\/26, not 166\/26, not 164\/2026, not 144\/2026, not Khoryv, and not cancelled 162\/2026.<\/p>\n<p>The reporting line is the operational content a DPA has to get right. 168\/26 tells ships to report relevant information to MRCC Constanta on VHF 16 or MRCC@RNA.RO. That is tighter than Friday afternoon\u2019s 167\/26, which printed no mailbox. Dedicated 158\/2026 still tells ships to report to the same MRCC on the Khoryv wreck-move. The standing mine-and-drifting-object recommendation still asks ships to report mine-like objects on VHF 16 to NtM@dhmfn.ro, MRCC@RNA.RO and scomar@mai.gov.ro. 168\/26 does not convert Saturday morning\u2019s lookout into a confirmed mine. It also does not authorise a master to occupy 44-11.68 N, 028-43.60 E at 0800 UTC on 7 November because \u201cthe newsroom said the search ended at 17:30 local.\u201d Log the industry 168\/26 number, the 6 November publication, the hull, the 13.12 UTC clock, the plot, the sharp-lookout sentence, the VHF 16 \/ MRCC@RNA.RO report, and the missing cancel. Do not log ARTEMIS, dana 78, a six-nautical-mile offset, a lifejacket line, a 167\/26 training move, a 144\/2026 Platforma Centrala reprint, or a two-nautical-mile berth that the notice does not print.<\/p>\n<p>A night transit on the Constanta approaches is not a printed all-clear. The English body prints a 13.12 UTC report clock and no cancel. It does not print 0000\u20130700 UTC as a safe window, and it does not print a 17:30 local kill as a hydrographic fact. Give the printed plot. Keep the lookout. Do not treat Constanta or Midia as closed unless the Authority or the harbour master says so. Do not linger on 44-11.68 N as if the notice had printed a wreck buoy, and do not drop the lookout because a Friday newsroom returned a ship to base. Watch a later ARN that cancels the MOB, moves 44-11.68 N 028-43.60 E, names a finding, or prints a keep-clear.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the dedicated files on their own lines. ARN 167\/26 remains Friday afternoon\u2019s dedicated 9 November 20 km training circle at 44-02.80 N, 030-35.20 E through 092130 UTC 9 November. ARN 166\/26 remains this week\u2019s dedicated 12\u201313 November prohibited firing box at 44-21 N, 028-52 E through 131400 UTC 13 November. ARN 164\/2026 remains Wednesday night\u2019s dedicated 11\u201312 November avoid box at 43-50 N, 028-59 E through 121300 UTC 12 November. ARN 163\/2026 remains Wednesday afternoon\u2019s dedicated floating-piping box at 43-46.4 N, 028-35.8 E through 152159 UTC 15 December. ARN 144\/2026 remains the 14 October Platforma Centrala MOB at 44-31.35 N, 029-33.88 E. ARN 158\/2026 remains the dedicated Khoryv wreck-move at 43-49.50 N, 028-53.37 E. NAVWARN 766\/26 remains the dedicated five-cable Khoryv keep-clear east of Shabla. NAVWARN 768\/26 remains the dedicated Contship Jet wreck. NAVWARN 797\/26 remains Thursday morning\u2019s dedicated Mentor unmanned tanker. NAVWARN 790\/26 remains Thursday morning\u2019s dedicated Maslen Nos pair. NAVWARN 789\/26 remains Akademik, one nautical mile, Bulgarian territorial sea through 30 November. NAVWARN 784\/26 remains the Ahtopol tank. NAVWARN 779\/26 remains the Burgas four-container watch. NAVWARN 777\/26 remains cutter 331, now past 061600 UTC 6 November. ARN 123\/2026 remains the separate orange-buoy works box at 43-56 N through 31 January 2027.
