In mid March Danube Logistics transported for the first time 1,000 mt of soda ash in big bags from the Bulgarian port of Varna to Chisinau. The cargo was transported with Danube Logistics’ chartered general cargo vessel MV Lady Didem from Varna to Giurgiulesti International Free Port and from Giurgiulesti by railway to Chisinau.

“Apart from the transportation of containers, the shipment of general cargo in big bags and on pallets via our container and general cargo terminal in Giurgiulesti is becoming an important part of our business. With our inter-modal logistic services involving our own sea/river vessel, terminal services as well as railway and road transportation services we are able to offer our customers a cost efficient door-to-door solution for the shipment of their goods to Moldova” stated Thomas Moser, the Chairman of Danube Logistics.
