Why it matters
The investment, which is partially funded by a non-repayable grant from the European Union and a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, signals a major shift toward green infrastructure in the Black Sea region. This modernization enhances the port's capacity to handle low-emission vessels and supports the Trans-European Transport Network.
