Ocean gateways for V4 countries
Hamburg –
Worldwide coverage
Historical strong connections
Easy understandable processes
Connections to the V4 countries:
- Trains
- Feeder service (mainly to Poland)
- Trucks (also cabottage trucks from all countries)
Koper –

Worldwide coverage
Strong connections to V4 countries:
- Trains
- Trucks
Short transit times to Far East ports
Fast growing port
Train Connection Hungary
8
18 trains per week from Hamburg
21 trains per week from Koper
Regular trains to Bremerhaven
5 intermodal operators
Using Budapest terminals Mahart, Bilk, Törökbálint
Main hub for Hungary is Koper
Hungary in connection to V4 countries
In the container freight using trilangulation of the terminals:
Budapest/Dunajska Streda(Bratislava) / Wien
Automotive productions in cooperation with other „same group“
companies (Skoda in Czech, VW Slovakia, Audi Hungary, VW
Poland)
Sharing of the train connection – via Wien, Dunajska Streda
Sharing of the truck connection – truck could in EU load/unload
in every country, in fact Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and Polish
trucks are serving all of V4 countries
9
Train connection to the Czech Republic
58 Train per week to/from Hamburg
11 Train per week to/from Koper
Regular trains to Bremerhaven, Rotterdam
4 operators
Terminals in Prague (2x), Lovosice, Plzen,Ceska Trebova, Zlin,
Brno, Ostrava, Havirov
Main hub for Czech cargo is Hamburg port
10
Train connection Slovakia
11
38 trains from Hamburg per week
Terminals in Dunajska Streda, Bratislava, Kosice, Sladkovicovo
Up to 25 trains from Koper per week
Regular trains via CZ to Bremerhaven, Rotterdam
Main Hub Hamburg, but Koper becoming more and more
important
Train connections to Poland
48 trains per week from Hamburg
Baltic trains from Koper
Terminals in Warszaw, Lodz, Dabrowa Gornicza, Katowice,
Wroclaw, Maleszewice.
Wide connection through local trucker and two strong
intermodal operators also from Gdynia, Gdanks, Sczezsin ports.
12
Poland ports Gateway
Gdynia and Gdansk ports with direct connection to the Far East
destination
Disadvantage due to historical reason against Hamburg in
Container shipping, as more connections vie Hamburg
Connection to Polish ports from V4 countries is not so strong
comparing to Koper, Hamburg, Bremerhaven
Polish import/export strong on local ports
13
Summary
All V4 countries are using mostly the same garteways for the
oceanfreight and sometimes are using the shared train
connections
Strong automotive industry is also looking for new opportunities
which brings to our countries new connections and better
service
Last 20 years increased total volume of train connections to all
V4 countries significantly which make Czech, Slovakia, Hungary
and Poland as very competitive in connection to the ocean
freight (and not only) and in logistic area at all (new developed
logistic centres )
