h Performance Green Port Giurgiu HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN PORT GIURGIU
The EU-project „High Performance Green Port Giurgiu“ aims at upgrading the port of Giurgiu and turn
it into a highly-performant terminal using smart technology but also applying speci c environmental
measures.
For maximum bene ts brought to the region it is necessary not only to ensure that navigation can be per-
formed under normal conditions all year long, but that there are also ports capable of operating large car-
go volumes in the shortest time interval possible, while also having a reduced impact on the environment.
Giurgiu port will be re-shaped into an intermodal hub being able to handle large cargo volumes. This
implies that instead of being transferred by road, freight volumes will be transported by inland navigation,
an environmentally-friendly transport mode used to shift considerable volumes of cargo from road
transport to the Danube. The long term e ects of this change experienced by Giurgiu Port are: a lower
pollution rate in the region and a constant increase in the promotion and use of inland navigation.
