The Danube-Black Sea Channel, inaugurated in 1984, although it has a dark history, is also of significant importance at European level, being the third longest navigable channel in the world, after the Suez Channel and the Panama Channel and connects the North Sea to the Black Sea through the Rhine-Main-Danube Channel, shortening the route of goods transport from Australia to Central Europe by 400 kilometers. The channel has a total length of 95.6 km and consists of two branches, a main one having 64.4 km long and a northern branch (named Poarta Alba-Midia Navodari Channel) with a length of 31.2 km. At the ends of the canal there are two locks that allow the level to be adjusted from fresh water to salt water, but only under the supervision of the Waterway Administration. In this paper, a study of navigation and restrictions along the Danube-Black Channel was conducted. A short presentation of the history of the channel is presented. Also, a statistical analysis on the traffic of goods and the types of goods transported in the last ten years was performed. The main ports and the main locks along the canal have been identified, but also how they are affected by heavy traffic and climate change. The evolution of the goods traffic for the period 2000-2020 was investigated, regarding the capacity of the transport ships, and as a total number of goods transported annually. For each category, the incoming goods and the outgoing goods were identified. Finally, a brief presentation of the dangerous areas and of the measures taken in this direction was made.
