Abstract: Industries and ports services may represent - by attracting domestic and foreign investments, by creating jobs at local level - a catalyst for related activities of goods and services production. As a binder between national and external business area, Ports sector can contribute, through a multiplier effect, to support the economic development of the country. After analyzing the main statistical indicators for Ports activities in Romania, we concluded that there were some unfavourable developments, enhanced by global and financial crisis. The solution to stop these adverse developments could be a domestic or foreign capital infusion, in order to improve the efficiency of Ports activity, to meet the future challenges that European ports might face by 2030.
