These investments increase the port's capacity during growing demand for resilient European supply chains and reinforce DP World's commitment to the country as a gateway between the Black Sea and mainland Europe.

The developments follow more than €250 million invested in Romania since 2004. Together with recent additions including a new RO-RO terminal, a project cargo facility in Constanța, and the inland intermodal hub in Aiud, the upgrades form part of DP World's strategy to transform regional connectivity.

Kris Adams, Executive Vice President for Eastern Europe at DP World, said: "This investment demonstrates our commitment to supporting international trade in the face of global challenges. By enhancing the port's capacity, we will alleviate congestion and strengthen Constanța's position as a regional logistics hub."

The two mobile harbour cranes boost CSCT's handling capability, reaching 810,000 TEU in 2026-2027. Their introduction comes as Constanța plays an expanded role in supporting European cargo flows following the disruption of Ukraine's Black Sea ports. The cranes will increase throughput by up to 280,000 tonnes in 2026-2027, cut waiting times by over 66% for grain, improve container vessel efficiency by around 20%, and reduce fuel consumption.

The new 119,000 sqm multimodal terminal platform transforms previously undeveloped land into a high-capacity storage and handling zone for oversized cargo, project cargo and containerised goods. The facility adds approximately 340,000 tonnes of annual capacity and removes a bottleneck at the port. Both projects benefited from EU co-financing, demonstrating DP World's track record in attracting institutional partners to co-invest in trade infrastructure.
