Roughly 10 million tonnes of annual handling capacity place Galati among the Danube's most important cargo gateways and the second-largest port in Romania. Sitting on the left bank at Danube mile 80 and run by the state operator CN APDM SA, this river-sea port specialises in dry bulk, cereals, breakbulk, high-and-heavy pieces, liquid bulk and refined petroleum. Its anchor customer is Liberty Galati, the country's largest steelworks, which imports iron ore by water and ships finished steel onward to Constanța and to Danube ports in Serbia, Slovakia and Austria. Galati does not operate a dedicated container terminal; its strength lies in industrial and bulk traffic. Hinterland reach combines Danube barge convoys with rail and road links deep into Central Europe. Shippers with containerised cargo should route via Constanța on the Black Sea, with Brăila offering additional Danube capacity nearby.
