Bauxite, manganese, limestone, quartzite, iron ore and coke move across the industrial quays of Tulcea, a Danube river port that has fed the city's metallurgical platform since 1974. On the right bank of the river, the facility splits into an industrial port for dry bulk and a commercial port handling general cargo, bulk and passengers. Imported raw minerals supply the local ferroalloy and alumina industry, while ferroalloys, aluminium hydroxide and scrap iron leave by river. Container traffic of any scale is not confirmed: this is an industrial and bulk port, not a container terminal. Shipbuilding adds a second pillar through the Vard Tulcea yard, which manufactures and outfits vessel hulls. Hinterland reach runs along the Danube waterway plus road and rail, with Galaţi (a river-sea port) and Constanţa as the nearest options for containerised or deep-sea cargo.
