Constanța Sea Port
Constanța Sea Port is renowned as the largest and most significant port in Romania. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Constanța Sea Port has played a vital role in exporting Ukrainian grains and other goods.
The port’s revenue increased by 14 million euros in 2022, nearly achieving traffic of two thousand cargo ships. The leading port operator companies felt the real growth in demand and importance; some, like Corvex Constanța, doubled their turnover and tripled their net profit.
Transportation & Logistics market in Romania
The transportation & logistics sector is one of the fastest-growing industries in Romania, registering an overall market growth of 27 percent in 2022, outperforming even the HoReCa sector. The ever-growing demand for delivery services in a rapidly developing country like Romania led to the emergence of a giant like Fan Courier, which managed to achieve revenues of over one billion Romanian lei and to expand in Bulgaria, the Republic of Moldova, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and other. The International Airport Henri Coandă Otopeni is an important regional hub, hosting approximately 12.6 million passengers annually. With the growing number over the years, a new airport for traffic over 1.2 million passengers was opened in June 2023 in Brașov, where companies such as Wizz Air and Ryanair will be operating.
