According to Turkey’s Consulate General in Constanta, the first RORO trip between Pendik and Constanta will leave Turkey on November 19 and arrive in Romania on November 20. The service will begin with three trips per week, leaving on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from Pendik, and on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from Constanta.
The RORO service between Constanta and Pendik will run on the basis of the collaboration protocol signed by Turkey’s Minister of Transport, Bilani Yildirim, in February 2011. Businesses interested in shipping cargo using this service can obtain the necessary information from the Consulate General’s website or Facebook page.
“The Constanta-Pendik RORO service will increase the competitive power of exporters shipping from Turkey to Romania and then to eastern and northern Europe. In addition, maritime traffic between the two ports will contribute to the development of the Turkish and Romanian economies, and will support international carriers who use this route,” says a press release by the Turkish Consulate General in Constanta.
