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 />

a positive impact on the economic<br />

importance of the Port of Vienna in<br />
