Representatives of the USPA informed the participants about the general situation in the Danube region and the Black Sea ports in early 2026, in particular regarding access to route capacity, the state of port infrastructure, the consequences of damage and energy restrictions.
It is noted that special attention was paid to key infrastructure “bottlenecks”, in particular, the dredging of the Danube, updated capacities and work plans.
