The cross-Danube ferry linking Orlivka, Odesa oblast, and Isaccea, Romania started service this week. Operating hourly, from 8 am to 8 pm, the ferry now carries only trucks. Passenger cars should start at the end of August, Yuri Dimchoglo, a co-investor in the project tells the Center for Transportation Strategies. Fares are: passenger – €1; motorcycle – €2; car – €15; minibus €25; big truck – €50. The ferry cuts out a 2-hour, 100 km drive with two border crossings – Moldova and Romania. With passport control stations on both banks of the Danube, the ferry is Odesa’s first border crossing with the EU.
