BUCHAREST – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) launched an international tender on Monday to find a new investor for Moldova's main seaport, Giurgiulesti. Romania has expressed interest in the strategically located port on the Danube.
Following Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports in 2022, the Danube river port south of Moldova played a crucial role in facilitating the movement of goods in and out of Ukraine. That year, Giurgiulesti achieved a record volume of 1.8 million tons of cargo.
Chisinau government spokesman Daniel Voda said the EBRD is in talks with several potential investors, including parties from Romania, Turkey, the Netherlands and Denmark.
