The issue of the potential of the Sulina Channel was discussed during the meeting of the representatives of USPA, the European Commission and the Danube Commission from the Romanian side.
As part of the implementation of the “Lanes of Solidarity” initiative, a meeting of the management of SE “USPA” was held with the representative of the European Commission, Alan Baron, and the representative of the Danube Commission from Romania, Antonio Stoan.
During the meeting, they discussed increasing the potential and capacity of the Sulina Channel.
“For us, the support of the European Union in solving shipping problems on the Danube is very important. Taking into account the limited number of Romanian pilots on the Sulina Channel, USPA is ready to attract Ukrainian pilots to improve coordination and increase the volume of transportation,” said the Acting Director Oleksiy Vostrikov, Chairman of State Enterprise “USPA”.
