Eleven thousand five hundred and forty-five square metres at Dana PL3 in the Port of Constanța. Concession held directly by Trading Line Port Services. Concrete platform, office building, covered hall and tent, four quay cranes, four floating cranes. Sea-to-river transshipment under one operator.
Trading Line Port Services is the tenant of a direct lease contract with the Port of Constanța Authority for a public-domain land concession at Dana PL3.
Trading Line Port Services operates as the tenant under Rental Contract No. CNAPM-08784-IDP-01, covering a total surface of eleven thousand five hundred and forty-five square metres of public-domain land — parcel number ninety-seven at Dana PL3, inside the Port of Constanța. The concession is held directly with the Port Authority and forms the physical and operational foundation of the Trading Line group's maritime-to-inland transshipment capacity.
Unlike operators who rely on third-party terminals for sea-to-river transfer, Trading Line controls the entire chain on its own terminal. A container or a bulk shipment arriving from the Middle Corridor, from Ukrainian Danube ports, or from a maritime feeder, is handled by Trading Line stevedores on Trading Line equipment at a Trading Line-operated facility. One quote, one chain of custody, one accountable party, from sea quay to inland barge.
Engineered concrete surface covering the full 11,545 m² concession, designed to support heavy-lift handling, container stacking, bulk staging, and ro-ro operations.
Ground floor plus one upper level. Houses the terminal management, the 24/7 ops desk, customs clearance, documentation, and client-facing operations.
Covered indoor hall for weather-sensitive cargo — bagged fertilizer, project equipment, bulk commodities requiring protection during transshipment and staging.
Large-format tent structure for additional weather-protected storage capacity — scalable, modular, and redeployable depending on seasonal throughput demand.
Four floating units deployable anywhere on the Danube–Black Sea Canal and the Lower Danube for mid-stream ship-to-ship transshipment and remote loading and discharging operations.
Trading Line Port Services is not just a port tenant. It is an active participant in the national regulatory conversation on how port tariffs should be structured, how inland vessels should be incentivised, and how the Port of Constanța should evolve to meet the twin demands of the Middle Corridor and the European Green Deal.
In June 2025, Alexandra Moldovan, Administrator of Trading Line Port Services, submitted a formal proposal to the Romanian Naval Supervisory Council and to the National Company Maritime Ports Administration Constanța, recommending a comprehensive restructuring of the port infrastructure tariff methodology. The proposal addressed four major issues: tariff calculation based on actual cargo volume transported rather than registered vessel capacity; equitable treatment between self-propelled and non-propelled inland vessels; area-based charging for idle and empty inland vessels using International Tonnage Certificate data; and, most significantly, the introduction of a European-standard emissions-indexed discount ladder on port infrastructure fees.
By applying incentives based on the engine category installed on each vessel, the Port of Constanța can actively encourage sustainable fluvial and maritime transport, contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint, and align directly with European environmental objectives.Trading Line Port Services proposal to CN APM Constanța, 30 June 2025
The proposed discount ladder would reward the cleanest inland vessel categories and penalise the oldest polluting ones — a mechanism that Trading Line's own nearly fully Stage V and CCR II-compliant fleet would benefit from, but one that also creates the regulatory framework to accelerate fleet renewal across the entire Romanian sector.
Dana PL3 is five minutes from the Port of Constanța main gate. Trading Line Port Services welcomes visits from cargo owners, institutional partners, and investors. Site visits can be arranged with forty-eight hours notice.
