General information

Port Silistra-Lessil is a private company entered in the
register of ports of the Republic of Bulgaria as a port for public
transport of regional importance. It is located from the 381st to
the 382nd km of the Danube River, on a total area of 73,000 sq.m.
Silistra is a port city located at the easternmost point of the
Bulgarian bank of the Danube River, at the 381st km. It was founded
in ancient times some 2,400 years ago as the Roman fortress of
Durostorum and has a rich history. Today, Silistra has 38,000
inhabitants.

The natural geographical location of the port, the
well-established communication network connecting the port with
North and South Bulgaria and with the countries of Eastern and
Central Europe make it a key link between Europe, the Middle East
and Asia. In accordance with global trends and requirements, the
port is equipped with the necessary specialized facilities and means
of transport to service ships and wagons with bulk, general,
palletized, container and other cargoes.
The port has its own
well-built infrastructure for road and rail
transport. There is a
working connection with the republican railway
network. The
connection between road and rail transport, the river
ports on the
Danube, Volga and Dnieper, the sea ports of Burgas and
Varna is
realized thanks to the good organization of work and the
joint
activity with agency, transport-forwarding and brokerage
companies.
River-sea ships of up to 5000 tons dock in the port.
