About This Seaport
Freight traffic on the Danube–Black Sea Canal reached 10.528 million tonnes in the first half of 2023, up 18 per cent on the prior year, according to canal authority figures — a sign that actual volumes, while still below theoretical capacity, are growing. Running about 64 km from Cernavodă on the Danube to outlets near Constanța and Năvodari in Romania, it is more inland waterway than conventional port, linking barge traffic on the Rhine-Main-Danube corridor directly to the maritime terminals of Constanța. Administered from Agigea and controlled by four locks, it accommodates convoys of up to six 3,000-tonne barges and vessels up to 5,000 tonnes, with roughly 7 m of water depth and a 5.5 m maximum draft. Typical cargoes are grain, fertiliser and dry bulk moving between the Danube basin and the Black Sea. Container handling and customs clearance proper take place not on the canal but at the seaport of Constanța, the practical maritime gateway and true destination for most shipments.
