In Ukraine's Danube shipping industry, Izmail (Izmayil) stands out as the country's largest Danube port, lying about 90 km from the river's outlet to the Black Sea. Dry bulk dominates the throughput — ore, coal and grain, plus timber and breakbulk — with the state commercial sea port handling roughly 95% of volume and operators such as EKO Group loading grain. Since 2022 the port has grown sharply within the Danube corridor for Ukrainian grain exports, complemented by UDP container services to Danube ports in Romania, Bulgaria and further upstream. Inland reach comes from Danube barges plus rail and road toward Odesa and central Ukraine, and customs clearance for export and transit cargo is well established at this border port. When Danube draught is insufficient or deep-sea containers are required, Reni, Romania's port of Constanța or UDP's Kilia complex serve as alternatives.
