Romania Inland Ports Union (UPIR)

fto_danubeUPIR represents all Romanian inland ports along the Danube river. UPIR’s members are ports administrations and port operators. It represent 3 major maritime ports and 10 inland ports.

The Romanian sector of the Danube is divided into a maritime sector and an inland sector. The maritime sector of the Danube starts from Sulina crossing Sulina Channel and reaching Galati port – the biggest maritime port located on the Danube. Advantages in the field of international transport are its connection to the wide gauge railway lines of Moldova, Ukraine and Russia and the accessibility by seagoing vessels with a draught of up to 24 ft. (7.3 m) directly from the Black Sea through Sulina channel via the maritime Danube.

Very close to the Moldavian Republic border (12 km) and to the Ukrainian border too, Galati port has connections by rail, road, maritime and inland, that means Galati is so to say a pentamodal location. Galati port is connected by express road to the existing motorway Bucharest-Constanta (only 130 km distance).

There are two options for routing trains from/to the Ukraine or Russia both using the common section Galati – Giurgiulesti – Reni – Basarabeasca – Causeni – Tighina (Bender):

Route 1: Tighina (Bender) – Tiraspol – Pervomaisc/Kuchurhan – Rozdil’na – Kazatin – Kiev
Route 2: Tighina (Bender) – Chisinau –Ungheni – Balti – Ocnita –Vinnytsya - Kiev

Braila port – the second maritime port, is located only 20 km distance from Galati.
Galati and Braila towns will be developed as an urban platform which could become the second one after Bucarest.

Almost 1.3 mile sqm and 10,368 m quay length (53 % maritime quay) are available together at Galati and Braila port.

A Container Terminal (CT) is operational in Galati port and covers an area of 20,000 m² with a planned annual capacity of 8,000 TEU. The warehouse for stuffing (loading) and stripping (unloading) of containers, covering an area of 3,600 m², is currently under construction. It is adequate for short sea shipping and inland navigation

The main inland port is Giurgiu Port located only 60 km by road to Bucarest and near to the Bulgarian Danube Port of Ruse. A container terminal is located in the “free zone” area.

All most each of the Romanian ports have shipyards. The biggest one (DAMEN) is located in Galati but one should also mention other important shipyards in Braila (AKER), Tulcea (AKER), Giurgiu, Oltenita, Drobeta Turnu Severin .

Passengers terminals are available in Tulcea, Giurgiu and Bechet.

Tulcea port is the gate to Danube Delta – the famous natural reserve. A new and modern passenger terminal was finished in 2005 for maritime and inland passengers vessels. There are also MARINA facilities available, hotels and connections to touristic sites inside reserve.
