On Wednesday, June 14, the Blue Gate bulk carrier with a record deadweight of 24,000 tons is being loaded in the Rheny Seaport. This was reported by the press service of the SE "Administration of Sea Ports of Ukraine" (AMPU).
For the Danube ports, this is the first dry cargo of such capacity in the entire history of independent Ukraine (…) Increasing the tonnage of the fleet and the intensity of ship calls, further technical rearmament of capacities are necessary steps on the way to increasing the volume of transshipment through the ports of the Danube region," the press service noted.

The Rhenish Seaport is located on the left bank of the Danube River, 63 miles from the mouth of the river. The design capacity is 7.7 million tons.
