About the event

Black Sea Transport Corridors 2026: Ports, Railways & Shipping is an international conference and exhibition dedicated to transport and logistics development in the Black Sea region. The event will take place from April 20 to April 22, 2026, in Constanța, Romania, bringing together experts and decision-makers from the transport, logistics, and infrastructure sectors. The forum is organized by RDL Group and is considered one of the key industry events focusing on transport connectivity between Europe and Asia.

The conference aims to provide a strategic platform for dialogue on the development of efficient transport corridors linking Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Particular attention will be given to the integration of different transport modes, including maritime shipping, railways, and road logistics. The Black Sea region is increasingly viewed as a critical gateway for international trade, especially as global supply chains adapt to geopolitical and economic changes.

The program includes a welcome networking reception, a full conference day with expert presentations, panel discussions, and B2B meetings, as well as a gala dinner and awards ceremony. The final day features a technical visit to the Port of Constanța, one of the largest and most strategically important ports in the Black Sea region.

Key discussion topics include the development of Black Sea transport corridors, investment in port infrastructure, digitalization of logistics systems, and the role of rail freight in connecting the Black Sea region with European and Asian markets. The event is expected to attract representatives from ports, railway companies, shipping lines, logistics providers, investors, and technology companies, offering valuable networking and collaboration opportunities for professionals working in international transport and supply chains.
