DP World links new location in Romania with Ukrainian grain lifeline – media

KYIV. Sept 21 (Interfax-Ukraine) – DP World (the United Arab Emirates) will utilise a recently authorised terminal in Dornesti, near the Romania-Ukraine border, to bring more flows of grain from Vadul-Siret (Ukraine) towards the port of Constanta (Romania) by rail.

Railfreight.com reported that the new rail service could run with up to five roundtrips per week, and trains could carry up to 50 containers per time.

The terminal in Dornesti terminal was developed into a functioning terminal by DP World swiftly to alleviate congestion in Constanta and serve the company’s multimodal expansion in Romania.

In addition to the terminal in the port of Constanta, in early May, the company kicked off the construction of a new multimodal logistics terminal in Aiud, in the region of Transylvania.

As the company commented to the publication, "with over 50 per cent of Romania’s industrial GDP coming from the wider Transylvania region, the Aiud terminal will perform a key role in expanding the country’s global trade while providing robust infrastructure in a region that traditionally lacked it."

Additionally, DP World stressed that the terminal will "sit directly on the train line linking Europe to China via Central Asia."
