THE EXISTING SITUATION AND THE NEED TO ACHIEVE THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Constanta Port is a seaport owned by the Romanian state. It is administered by the National Company
"Administratia Porturilor Maritime" S.A. - Constanta (CNAPMC), in accordance with the provisions of the
Concession Contract no. LO4113/31.10.2008 signed between CNAPMC and the Ministry of Transport (MT).
CNAPMC operates under the authority of MT, in accordance with the provisions of GD no. 76/2009 on the
organization and functioning of the Ministry of Transport, as amended and supplemented.
The objectives of the concession are:
• Development of the Port of Constanta as the main link between Europe and Asia and its inclusion in the
maritime motorway network;
• Maintenance, repair, modernisation and development of the shipping network;
• Development of the functional structure of the Port of Constanta in order to transform it into a logistics
centre and integrate it into the intermodal transport system;
• Ensuring traffic safety by ensuring minimum depths in harbour basins and berths and signage on access
channels and in the harbour;
• Development of shipping infrastructure and port facilities for port operations.
The Port of Constanta is strategically located at the crossroads of trade routes linking the landlocked
markets of Europe and the Transcaucasian Area, Central Asia and the Far East. The port is located at the
intersection of TEN-T priority axes 7 (road), 18 (Danube) and 22 (rail).
Maritime - Rail. Each port terminal has direct access to the railway system. The total length of the
railways in the Port of Constanta reaches 300
km. Taking into account the increasing trends of freight traffic on the railways in the southern part of the port,
APMC has initiated two projects for the development of railway capacity: "Development of railway capacity in
the southern part of the Port of Constanta" and "Development of railway capacity in the sea-river sector
(berths 86-103)".
Maritime - Road. The total length of the road transport network within the port reaches 100 km,
ensuring fast and flexible transport for all types of cargo. For the development of the road infrastructure,
AMPC initiated and completed the project "Road bridge at km 0+540 of the Danube - Black Sea Canal and
related road and access infrastructure works in the Port of Constanta".
Maritime - River. The Danube - Black Sea Canal provides the sea-river connection for the transport of
goods. The canal, managed by C.N. Administratia Canalelor Navigabile S.A., is 64.4 km long, 90 m wide, 7 m
deep and 17.5 m under bridges.
The Port of Constanta has a total area of 3,926 ha, of which 1,313 ha dry and 2,613 ha water. The two
breakwaters located on the north and south side, shelter the port ensuring the necessary conditions for the
port activities. The length of the North Breakwater is 8.344 m, but APMC has obtained the financing and has
carried out the works to extend it by 1050 m, contributing to increase the efficiency and safety of the porting
operations. The length of the South Dike is 5560 m.
The port complex is made up of two (2) large areas, the northern one called "Constanta North Port"
and the southern one called "Constanta South Port".
