Danube – Black Sea Canal, Navigation canal connecting Danube River to Black Sea in Constanta region, Romania.
The Danube-Black Sea Canal extends for 64.4 kilometers from Cernavoda to Constanta, featuring two locks and supporting maritime vessels up to 296 meters in length.
Construction of the canal began in 1949 under a forced labor system, was halted in 1953, and resumed in 1973 before final completion in 1984.
The canal marks a significant infrastructure achievement in Romanian engineering, transforming regional transportation methods and connecting multiple European waterways.
The waterway reduces travel distance by 400 kilometers compared to traditional Danube routes, maintaining a depth of 7 meters and width of 90 meters throughout.
The canal system includes a northern branch called Poarta Alba-Midia-Navodari, which extends 31.2 kilometers to serve local maritime commerce needs.
