The ports of Izmail, Reni, and Ust-Dunaisk are functioning at less than half their capacity. In 2024, cargo handling dropped by nearly 46% to 17.3 million tons. Meanwhile, almost 80 million tons of cargo were shipped through the maritime corridor last year. Grain exports through Constanța in January-February of this year fell sixfold, and major traders, such as Nibulon, see no significant opportunities to increase grain export volumes through the Danube ports.
