Almost 14 million tonnes of cargo move across Alexandroupoli each year, making this northeastern Greek port a steady handler of timber, grain, dry bulk and general cargo rather than a container gateway. A roll-on/roll-off trade of around 29,000 vehicles adds to the mix, and a modest container quay of roughly 730 metres rounds out the facilities. Berths accommodate vessels up to about 150 metres in length with a 6.5-metre draft, so deep-sea container lines rarely call here. Road links and the rail corridor toward Bulgaria and central Europe connect the port to its hinterland, a route that also underpins its NATO-related military logistics role. As an EU port, import clearance is straightforward for regional flows, though the shallow depths keep box traffic at feeder scale. For containerised or reefer consignments, forwarders typically route via Thessaloniki, while Kavala serves as a regional option for bulk and breakbulk.
