ROCEV Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of ROCEV
Cernavoda Port is the seaport of Cernavoda, in the city of Cernavodain Romania. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is ROCEV.
Port Overview
Cernavoda, UN/LOCODE ROCEV, is a Romanian inland river-and-canal port serving the Danube navigation system and the Danube–Black Sea Canal corridor. Its logistics role is different from that of a conventional seaport: cargo normally requires a river, canal, road or rail connection before reaching a maritime gateway. Our service team uses Cernavoda primarily as a regional distribution, project-cargo and multimodal transfer point, with the final routing determined by cargo dimensions, draft restrictions, equipment availability and the nominated downstream port.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- River and canal access: Cargo planning should account for navigation conditions on the Danube and the Danube–Black Sea Canal, including water level, lock operations and any temporary restrictions.
- General and project cargo: Breakbulk, machinery, steel, construction materials and out-of-gauge cargo may be considered where the nominated terminal confirms suitable quay, lifting and handling capability.
- Bulk cargo handling: Dry bulk or agricultural cargo may be operationally feasible at an appropriate facility, subject to product requirements, dust control, weighing and storage arrangements.
- Containerized cargo: Do not assume an on-site full-service container terminal, empty depot or reefer plug availability. Our service team verifies whether stuffing, stripping, storage and equipment positioning can be arranged locally.
- Inland transport: Road haulage is normally central to first- and last-mile planning. Rail use, where commercially and operationally suitable, must be confirmed with the selected operator and terminal.
- Customs and inspection coordination: Customs status, inspection location, temporary storage and transit procedures depend on the actual facility and the cargo’s customs regime.
Routes & Transit Times
- Black Sea and overseas cargo: A typical planning concept may combine an inland river/canal leg with a Black Sea maritime gateway, followed by the ocean service selected for the destination. Whether cargo moves via a specific gateway is subject to vessel schedule and terminal confirmation.
- Danube corridor: River-connected cargo may be routed along the Danube system toward other Romanian or European inland locations, subject to barge availability, water levels, lock traffic and cargo restrictions.
- Road alternative: Road transport can be used for time-sensitive or smaller consignments, but vehicle access, payload, oversized dimensions, permits and driver schedules must be checked before dispatch.
- Transit-time drivers: Actual lead time is affected by transshipment coordination, navigation conditions, customs inspection, terminal cut-offs, equipment positioning and the connection between inland and maritime schedules. Our team provides a shipment-specific estimate rather than a generic port promise.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Regional hinterland: Cernavoda supports cargo flows in southeastern Romania and the Danube–Black Sea transport corridor; the practical delivery radius depends on road conditions, vehicle type and consignee access.
- Industrial and energy-related cargo: Machinery, steel products, industrial components, construction materials and project cargo may require pre-arranged lifting, escort, route surveys or temporary storage.
- Agricultural and dry bulk cargo: Grain, feed materials and other bulk commodities may be considered where the selected facility confirms suitable receiving, weighing, storage and loading arrangements.
- Containerized manufactured goods: Consumer, industrial and spare-parts cargo can be handled through a multimodal solution, but container availability and local handling arrangements must be confirmed rather than inferred from the ROCEV code.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-offs and booking: River or terminal receiving cut-offs may differ from ocean carrier deadlines. Our service team obtains written confirmation for cargo delivery, documents, customs release and any onward transshipment before dispatch.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, marine pollutant status, SDS and packing certificate where applicable. Acceptance by the inland facility and every connecting carrier must be confirmed separately.
- Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information, customs value and applicable transit or export declarations must be consistent across the inland and maritime legs.
- Inspection and inland delivery: Customs examination, weighing, seal verification and truck access can create additional handling or waiting time. For oversized cargo, provide dimensions, gross weight, centre of gravity, lifting points and delivery-site restrictions before quotation.
Shipping Tips
- Send the complete cargo profile at the quotation stage: commodity, packages, dimensions, gross weight, stackability, DG status, temperature requirements and final delivery address.
- For container cargo, ask our service team to verify the loading point, empty-equipment source, stuffing or stripping location, seal procedure and whether a nearby maritime gateway is more efficient.
- For breakbulk or project cargo, arrange a route survey and handling plan before fixing the barge or truck. Confirm crane reach, lifting points, access roads, permits and temporary storage.
- Build schedule protection for lock congestion, low or high water, terminal waiting, customs inspection and the connection between inland and ocean services. Use a confirmed multimodal plan instead of relying on a nominal port transit time.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. ROCEV is treated for planning purposes as an inland river-and-canal location. Overseas cargo generally needs an additional maritime gateway or a multimodal connection.
Possibly, but this cannot be assumed from the port code. Our team first confirms container availability, local stuffing or receiving arrangements, customs status and the onward carrier connection.
Provide exact dimensions, gross weight, lifting points, centre of gravity, packing method, cargo value, DG status, delivery address and any required installation or escort conditions. This allows the team to check handling and road feasibility.
Not always. River and canal movements may be affected by water levels, lock traffic, weather, navigation restrictions and equipment availability. Our team confirms the operational window with the relevant operators.
The answer depends on cargo size, customs status, destination and available connections. A direct road solution may be considered against a river or multimodal option after comparing permits, handling points and total transit risk.
