The European financing contract for Stage II of the “Modernization of the Electricity Distribution Infrastructure in the Port of Constanta” project has been officially signed. The contract was executed by Romania’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Sorin Mihai Grindeanu, and the General Director of the National Company Maritime Ports Administration Constanta, Mihai Teodorescu.

Stage II of the project, financed under the Transport Program 2021–2027, has a total value of over 26.4 million RON (US$6.14 million), with eligible costs of around 18.8 million RON (US$4.37 million).
