Traficul de mărfuri pe Dunăre, blocat la kilometrul 280. Portul Constanța cere intervenția urgentă a autorităților

The cargo traffic on the Danube is blocked at kilometer 280 due to a vessel with excessive draft affecting the navigable channel. Port operators are urging authorities for immediate intervention to resume navigation, as the blockage leads to delays and increased costs for the entire logistics chain. The Constanța Port Business Association has requested action from the Ministry of Transport and the Danube Lower Navigation Administration. The situation arose from an incident on October 6, 2026, and as of October 8, no measures have been taken to restore navigability. The blockage also impacts grain transport from Ukraine, crucial for international food security. Operators demand a clear intervention timeline from authorities to mitigate the economic effects of the disruption.
