Acting as a unified, harmonised voice that represents the interest of the Danube IWT sector, Pro Danube International has addressed a
Call for Action in order to efficiently tackle inadequate fairway maintenance issues which continue to hamper the full exploitation of IWT as a reliable and economical viable mode of transport, pointing to the current situation at Danube rkm 565-563.

Our cordial welcome goes to our new member
DP World Constanța! Thank you for trusting us and appreciating our joint efforts for the benefit of the Danube IWT sector.
DP World Constanța offers importers & exporters in Central Europe speedier and more cost-effective access to the Far East market than movement via the traditional routing over North Continental ports by avoiding congested intermodal bottlenecks in Western Europe. To promote this routing, DP World is actively developing an intermodal network reaching out from the port to assist shippers in the movement of their cargo. The current capacity of the terminal is approximately 1,200,000 TEU and there is sufficient land area for phased expansion to cater for volumes in excess of 4,500,000 TEU.
DP World Constanța's terminal is acknowledged to be the Black Sea's premier container terminal, serving both the Romanian domestic market and a wider hinterland spreading into parts of Central Europe, together with first-class feeder connections to the Ukraine, Russia, Georgia & Moldova.
