DP World to invest further in Romania’s Constanta port
The
Romanian government has signed an agreement with Dubai’s Ports, Customs and
Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) and DP World to develop much needed new
infrastructure including a roro terminal at the Port of Constanta.
DP World already operates a container
terminal at the port, the largest box facility on the Black Sea.
The
terminal operator is also pushing ahead with plans for a new road-rail
intermodal terminal in Aiud in Romania, scheduled to be operational in the
first half of 2023. The terminal will be linked by rail to Constanta,
establishing a new export route for the key Transylvania region in central
Romania.
Since
Russia invaded Ukraine four months ago, the
port of Constanta has seen traffic volumes increase as an alternative gateway
for Ukrainian exports since all ports in Ukraine have been closed.
