On June 14, the bulk carrier BLUE GATE with a record deadweight of 24,000 tons started loading in the Reni port.
As stated in the notice of the Administration of Sea Ports of Ukraine, this is the first vessel of such capacity for the Danube ports in the entire history of independent Ukraine.
This event became another proof of the effectiveness of the development of the infrastructure of the ports of the Danube cluster. According to preliminary data, in 2023, investments in infrastructure projects of ports on the Danube will exceed $110 million.
