It connects the Romanian town of Ostrov with the Bulgarian city of Silistra and operates according to the ferry timetable rather than around the clock. It is a relatively quiet crossing, handling roughly 200–500 vehicles per day, so queues stay short. Cars are processed in the Romania → Bulgaria direction at [RO→BG](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_300). ### Key facts - Type: ferry crossing over the Danube. - Operating hours: by ferry schedule. - Daily traffic: about 200–500 vehicles. - Typical wait: 10–30 minutes plus the ferry crossing time. ### Queues and monitoring Live status and historical figures help plan a trip: check [RO→BG](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_300) and the route [statistics](https://nakordoni.eu/en/stat/5/12). Because the crossing depends on ferry departures, the actual delay combines the waiting line with the river crossing itself. ### Alternatives Drivers seeking a bridge instead of a ferry can use [Giurgiu — Ruse](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/dzhurdzhu-ruse), about 120 km away. That bridge carries far more traffic and tends to have heavier queues, so the ferry at Ostrov often remains the calmer option for unhurried travel. ### Practical details - Facilities: ferry terminal and parking. - Emergency services: **112**. - GPS Ostrov (RO): 44.0667, 26.5167. - GPS Silistra (BG): 44.1167, 27.2667. ### Other checkpoints on this route [Bechet — Oryakhovo View →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/bechet-oryakhovo) [Calafat — Vidin View →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/kalafat-vidin) [Giurgiu — Ruse View →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/dzhurdzhu-ruse) [Negru Voda — Constanta View →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/nehru-voda-konstantsa) [Vama Veche — Duryanka View →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/vama-veke-duryanka) [Zimnicea (ferry) — Svishtov View →](https://nakordoni.eu/en/bcp/zymnych-porom-svyshchov) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Where is the Ostrov → Silistra border crossing?
