A project to develop the Prut River for navigation could connect eastern Romania to a European water transport corridor linking the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea. This route would connect the Galați-Constanța area to the Polish port of Gdańsk and potentially include Iași as a river port. Paul Butnariu, president of the Iași Chamber of Commerce, discussed the economic opportunities and the need for transport links between Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. The project aims to create a navigable corridor that could significantly reduce transport distances between the Middle East and Northern Europe. The idea of such a corridor dates back to the 1920s, with initial proposals made then. The project could also enhance water resource management and agricultural development in the region.
