Abstract: The specialists from the European Commission say that the most efficient method for reducing the fuel consumption for transports as well as reducing pollution and increasing the safety circulation, which is also rapidly increasing for the transport on navigable ways. The European Commission is establishing a strategy for the next 15-20 years to develop the intra-communitarian transport so that 40-45% of all goods to be transported on water. Romania has the opportunity to develop this kind of transport because of the Danube River and Sulina and the Danube – Black Sea channels. However, it could be the same situation with the Danube as it is on roads, with too much traffic on it. The Danube ports’ infrastructure on the Romanian side is the same from the middle of the 20th century and it is not navigable all year long.
