DP World adds drive-through scanner at the Port of Constanța

Business Forum
DP World has opened a drive-through scanner at the Port of Constanța, which reduces customs inspection times for trucks from 5-7 hours to just two minutes.

The new scanner, located at DP World's RO-RO terminal, utilizes X-ray technology to inspect all import and transit containers, effectively eliminating bottlenecks caused by time-consuming manual inspections.

This means goods arriving late in the day can now be cleared immediately, rather than waiting until the following day.

Kris Adams, Executive Vice President of Eastern Europe, DP World, stated: “This new scanner is a game-changer for trade in Romania. It allows us to provide our customers with faster, more reliable, and secure transit of goods”

The introduction of the scanner complements DP World's investment plan of €130 million in Romania.
