BUCHAREST, April 28 (Reuters) - Romanian port operator
Comvex  CMVX.BX  said on Friday its net profit more than tripled
to 104.36 million lei ($23.24 million) in 2022, as the Black Sea
port of Constanta saw a rise in Ukrainian grain exports and
other cargo.
    Comvex, which is due to detail its rise in profit later on
Friday, operates Europe's fastest-loading grain terminal. 
    In 2022 as a whole, exporters shipped 8.6 million tones of
Ukrainian grain through Constanta, by train, truck and barges on
the river Danube. The port, which has a storage capacity of
around 2 millions tones, handled grain exports worth 24.01
million tonnes overall last year.
