BUCHAREST (Romania), July 4 (SeeNews) – Romanian freight forwarder Transport Trade Services [BSE:TTS] said on Monday it has inaugurated a logistics project dedicated to Ukrainian exports.

This is possible by using the TTS buoy terminal in the inner harbour of the port of Constanta, where goods are transshipped directly from barges to seagoing vessels using floating cranes.
“After more than a month of intensive logistical training carried out by TTS together with its Ukrainian partner, a producer and exporter of agricultural products, the first seagoing ship with a capacity of 31,000 tonnes anchored on July 2; the transshipment for the first wheat convoy is already accomplished,” TTS said.
