This route runs through Lianyungang port, then follows a corridor through the Turkish Straits; at the far end is the port of Constanta.

Romania applies the EU Battery Regulation, starting with registration in its own national producer register. Below are 5 route-specific points to plan for, what we do about each, and the documents to have ready before booking.

What we need to start

  • Break-bulk ESS guide
  • Fog season Apr–Jul
  • EU declaration of conformity
  • Consignee EORI
  • National producer registration

Route profile

How Lianyungang → Constanta differs from other lanes

Origin port

Lianyungang

Jiangsu's Yellow Sea port, with a simplified document list for 'new three' cargo since 2024 and its own guide for energy-storage units on break-bulk ships.

Sea corridor

Asia – Black Sea via Suez and the Turkish Straits

Suez, the Aegean and the Turkish Straits, with a 24-hour DG sailing plan before the Bosporus and, since September 2026, almost the whole Black Sea on the war-risk list.

Where this route gets difficult

5 points to plan for on the Lianyungang → Constanta route

They run from the Lianyungang terminal through the voyage to Constanta and the Romania import file.

  1. Origin port

    Yellow Sea fog from April to July

    The China Meteorological Administration describes sea fog as a major marine hazard in the Yellow and Bohai Seas, mainly from April to July. At Lianyungang, as at Qingdao, fog can hold vessels at anchor, and a changed vessel means amended DG filings.

    What Anxin does: In fog season we keep slack between stuffing and the DG cut-off and have the filing data ready to amend.

  2. Origin port

    Energy storage on break-bulk ships: Lianyungang's own rules

    Lianyungang MSA's June 2025 guide for ESS on break-bulk ships treats ESS cabinets as UN3480 and ESS containers as UN3536, recommends a remaining charge of 20–50%, and requires converters and monitoring to be powered off, series and parallel circuits disconnected, packages evenly spread with a low centre of gravity, and a safety meeting before the ship arrives.

    What Anxin does: For ESS units we confirm the UN number the unit ships under, get the state of charge and isolation steps in writing from the manufacturer, and join the pre-arrival safety meeting with the stowage details.

  3. Sea corridor

    Bab el-Mandeb and Suez come first

    To reach the Black Sea a ship passes Suez. Mediterranean-type services took the Red Sea routing 57% of the time in September 2026, and the JMIC rated Bab el-Mandeb SUBSTANTIAL, with the Houthis in control of Perim Island in the channel.

    What Anxin does: We ask the carrier which routing the service uses and name it on the quote.

  4. Import country

    CE marking and a declaration of conformity in the right language

    Since 18 August 2024 a battery sold in the EU needs the CE marking and an EU declaration of conformity from its manufacturer. The declaration has to be available in the language Romania requires, and the importer is the one who must check both before the goods are released for sale.

    What Anxin does: We ask the manufacturer in China for the declaration of conformity and a photo of the CE marking on the battery or its packaging before loading, and pass them to the Romania importer. We check that the documents exist and match the goods; we do not assess conformity.

  5. Import country

    The importer's name and address on the battery

    The Battery Regulation asks the importer to put its own name, registered trade name or trade mark and postal address, with a single contact point, on the battery. Only when the battery's size or nature makes that impossible may the details move to the packaging or an accompanying document, so a Romania importer's details need to reach the factory before printing.

    What Anxin does: We pass the Romania importer's name and address block to the manufacturer before the goods are packed in China and check carton or battery photos for it before loading.

Before you book

Match the details first

We line up UN numbers, model names and package counts across the Lianyungang filings, the booking with the carrier and the documents for Romania before the booking is confirmed, so that a mismatch is fixed at origin rather than discovered at Constanta.

Carriers we book with

Our booking panel; availability on this lane and acceptance of the declared UN numbers are confirmed for each booking. It does not mean that a listed carrier runs a direct service on this route. Carrier choice depends on the trade lane, cargo classification and each carrier's dangerous-goods acceptance at booking. The final carrier is confirmed on the booking.

Questions

Lianyungang → Constanta: questions we are asked

The importer's: name, registered trade name or trade mark and postal address with a contact point, on the battery or, if it is too small, on the packaging or accompanying document.

Possibly. Since 16 September 2026 almost the whole Black Sea, outside Turkish, Georgian, Bulgarian and Romanian territorial waters, is a Joint War Committee listed area, and underwriters may charge additional premiums. We get the carrier's surcharge in writing.

Its June 2025 break-bulk ESS guide recommends 20–50% remaining charge, with converters and monitoring off and circuits disconnected.
