The ongoing strike at the Greek port of Thessaloniki has diverted a massive amount of containerised cargo through Bulgarian Black Sea port of Varna, boosting Jan-May traffic to 60k TEU. That compares with 104k TEU handled for the entire 2007. Containerised cargo traffic in the Black Sea basin is estimated to reach 12-14m TEU by 2014, the launch target for the new containerised cargo terminals at the Varna and Burgas ports.
