They do not have the navy for that. Too few ships.

Escort duty requires a lot of ships to screen the protected ships.

Each ship will need a destroyer in range to defend it from missiles. There are a lot of cargo ships and romania does not have the numbers to protect all. Even the US navy would struggle to assign ships for that escort duty against an enemy like Russia, in the Black sea.

There is a treaty that forbids warships from non-balck sea countries for more than a few weeks if there is war. This is enforced by Turkey, as they control the entrance. It would be a nightmare for any Navy, even all of NATO navies, to rotate escorts in and out of the black sea that frequently.
