A new container shipping line on the Danube, which will cut the time of transport on Budapest-Belgrade-Constanta route, will be introduced on August 17, the Belgrade Chamber of Commerce has announced.

Barges will leave Belgrade from the Belgrade Port container termanial. Departures for Budapest and Constanta are planned once a week.

The line will be used by transatlantic companies from China, Indonesia, African countries and the USA, while companies in Serbia will get quicker, more reliable and more economic connection with other markets in the world.

Austrian company Helogistics Holding GMBH will be maintaining the line for minimum one year and it will start with two departures a week in both directions.

The Austrian company announced that the travel from Belgrade to Constanta in Romania would last for only four days, while the travel back would last eight days. It will take the ship eight days to reach Constanta from Budapest and eleven days to reach Budapest from Constanta.
