The Port of Constanta is situated on the Black Sea at the mouth of the Danube River, in Constanța, Romania.
It is the primary port for bulk commodities shipments to and from Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary.[1]
Location
The map below shows the location of the coal terminal at the Port of Constanta. The port is located on the western coast of the Black Sea, 179 nautical miles (332 km) from the Bosphorus Strait and 85 nm (157 km) from the Sulina Branch, through which the Danube river flows into the Black Sea.
Background
The Port of Constanta has been operating for millennia, with trade first occurring in the 6th century B.C.E. Construction of the modern port began in 1896 and was completed in 1909. The port has a total handling capacity of 100 million tonnes per year.[2] The port handled 60 million tonnes of cargo in 2020.[3]
The port has two specialized terminals that operate iron ore, bauxite, coal and coke with 13 berths, a storage capacity of 4.7 million tonnes and annual traffic capacity of around 27 million tonnes.[4] Comvex, which operates the port's largest bulk raw material handling terminal, has recently shifted its focus to grain in response to weaker demand for handling coal and other minerals.[5]
In May 2015 the port was acquired by Archer Daniels Midland.[1]
