DP World Group chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said: “We are proud of the confidence that the government of Romania continues to show in us and look forward to delivering a world-class, integrated supply chain solution that will enhance Constanta Port and Romania’s position in the region.

“This agreement is a testimony to the strength of the relationships we build with our partners around the globe.”

As part of a concession contract, which is valid until 2049, DP World already operates the Constanta South Container Terminal (CTST), which has an annual capacity of 1.5 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).

Furthermore, the company intends to construct a new road-rail intermodal terminal at Aiud in Romania. It is anticipated to start operations in the first half of next year.

In January, DP World began the construction of a $1.13bn deep-water port in Senegal.
