Pro Danube was pleased to participate in the 2nd Danube Transport Promotion Event “Linking Türkiye by Danube”, held at the DP World Terminal in Constanța Port. The event brought together key public and private sector stakeholders to explore ways to strengthen sustainable transport links between Türkiye and the Danube region.During the Business Panel on enhancing regional connectivity, Pro Danube's Chairman Herfried Leitner presented our vision for a more integrated and efficient Danube/Türkiye corridor. Key priorities include:
- Developing Constanța as a Danube-Maritime Intermodal Hub
- Upgrading key inland terminals (e.g. Ruse, Giurgiu, Budapest, Linz)
- Improving navigation and fairway conditions
- Promoting a modal shift from road to inland waterway transport
- Harmonising digital and customs systems
With contributions from high-level speakers such as representatives of the Danube Commission, Türkiye’s Ministry of Transport, and Constanța Port, the event reinforced the importance of regional cooperation.
