Traficul pe canalul Sulina s-a dublat în ultima lună față de aceeași perioadă a anului trecut / ”În radă, media zilnică este de aproximativ 100 de nave”

The Sulina Canal is experiencing increased traffic due to redirected shipments from Ukraine, with a doubling of vessel numbers compared to last year. The Port of Tulcea's chief captain clarifies that not all vessels in the area are contracted for Ukrainian grain transport, as many are waiting for contracts. Control teams are working to minimize wait times, with entry order determined by destination ports. The waiting time varies significantly, with Romanian vessels typically waiting no more than 24 hours, while those heading to Ukrainian ports face longer delays. Overall, traffic has surged from an average of 200 to 400 vessels per month compared to 2025.
