RO CEV stands for Cernavodă, one of Romania's largest river ports, set where the Danube meets the lock that opens the Danube–Black Sea Canal at kilometre 60.3. Through that canal, inland barges reach the seaport of Constanța directly, cutting roughly 400 km off the journey to the coast. Its two berths handle mainly grain, chemicals, project cargo and general goods, with throughput around 500,000 tonnes (2008). As a shallow-draught inland and barge port, Cernavodă is not built for seagoing ships; transfer to ocean tonnage takes place at Constanța. Road and rail serve the town, and the historic Anghel Saligny bridge carries the Bucharest–Constanța line across the Danube. For deep-sea container and bulk traffic, Constanța and the canal port of Medgidia are the nearest options.
