A Brief History

BRAILA HARBOUR was historically attested for the first time in the year 1368, as an area towards which various goods from the three Romanian countries were directed both on land and on water.

After the liberation of Braila from the Turkish occupation, further to the clauses within the Peace Treaty from Adrianopol in 1829, the Activity in Braila Harbour was subject to a lot of transformations and developments. In 1891, the Docs of Braila Harbour and the warehouses (designed by the famous engineer Anghel Saligny) started to operate.

The 2nd world war had ill-fated consequences on the harbour. Beginning with 1948, the harbour activity was improved by increasing the number of vessels operating in the harbour and diversifying the traffic of goods. Consequently, the traffic increased from 428,000 tons in 1950 to 2,360,000 tons in 1987.
