Constanța South Container Terminal (CSCT) (Romanian: Terminalul de containere Constanţa Sud) is located in the Port of Constanţa, 170 nautical miles (310 km) from the Bosphorus Strait and 250 kilometres (160 mi) from Romania's capital Bucharest.[1] It is the largest container terminal in the Black Sea area having an annual traffic capacity of 1,500,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEUs).[2] Located on a plot of land of 31 hectares (0.31 km2) the terminal has an additional 39 hectares (0.39 km2) for expansion that would increase the traffic up to 4,500,000 TEUs.[3] The container terminal is currently under expansion as of August 2009. The expansion will add another 10 hectares (0.10 km2) of storage space and increase the quay length by 510 m (1,670 ft).[3] After the expansion the terminal will be capable of handling around 1,700,000 TEUs.[4] The terminal is owned by the Dubai based company Dubai Ports World.[3][5]
