Port terminals of the Danube. Ukraine. Moldova. Romania. Bulgaria

    With a navigable length of 2414 km, the Danube plays a major role in connecting:

• the regions of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe with the Black and North Seas,
• Coastal countries among themselves,
• at the national level, different regions of the riparian countries.

    The Danube links 14 countries: Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria), Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine (regions along the Danube). Eight are EU member states and six are not.

    The Danube Region comprises 20% of the total EU territory and has 115 million inhabitants. The trade potential across the Danube includes the export and import flow of products distributed across all ports on the river. On the banks of the rivers, there are four main capitals – Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, and Belgrade. Others like Bucharest are only 75 km from the river and Munich is at a distance of 140 km.
