Hafen Wien<br />
the trimodal logistics hub in the<br />
heart of the Danube Region<br />
Port of Vienna’s success is<br />
based on its position: located<br />
approximately 2,000 kilometres<br />
from the Black Sea <strong>and</strong> 1,500<br />
kilometres from the North Sea.<br />
It is optimally <strong>and</strong> directly<br />
linked to ship, rail <strong>and</strong> road<br />
transport services <strong>and</strong> situated<br />
in close proximity to Vienna’s<br />
International Airport in<br />
Schwechat.<br />

three Trans-<strong>European</strong> transport<br />
routes <strong>and</strong> thus, represents<br />

Such location benefits – combined<br />
with the efficiency of one of<br />
the biggest hinterl<strong>and</strong> container terminals<br />
<strong>and</strong> a huge car terminal - have<br />
