A key message was <strong>the positioning of Constan\u021ba as the primary export hub for Ukrainian cargoes<\/strong> and a <strong>crucial link in the Middle Corridor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Port of Constan\u021ba holds a unique geographical advantage, located at the intersection of two strategic corridors. Of particular importance is the 64-kilometer canal with a depth of 7 meters and bridge clearance of 17.5 meters. Thanks to this infrastructure, 80\u201390% of grain reaches the port by barge. A convoy from Belgrade consisting of <strong>one pusher and six barges<\/strong>, each with a capacity of 2,000 tons, transports nearly <strong>10,000 tons in a single voyage<\/strong>. This volume is equivalent to 300 trucks or 200 rail wagons, making inland waterways the undisputed leader in both environmental efficiency and cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2018, the port has consistently handled over 60 million tons. In 2022, amid the shutdown of Odesa\u2019s facilities, <strong>throughput reached 75 million tons<\/strong>, approaching the design capacity of 92.7 million tons. Despite an adjustment to 77 million tons in 2023, the port launched a major expansion program. <strong>The medium-term PSC project<\/strong> will provide 190 hectares of new land and increase operational capacity by 20% (up to 120 million tons per year).<strong> The long-term \u201cArtificial Island\u201d project<\/strong>, covering 460 hectares with depths of 20\u201321 meters, will form the foundation for future growth.
