Port of Koper: Vienna representative office celebrates 50th anniversary
The Vienna representative office of the port of Koper is looking back on 50 successful years of operation in Austria. This jubilee was celebrated with about 200 guests at the “Luka Koper Day 2018”, on the 14th of November at the Ares Tower in Vienna.
“Last year we handled 7.1 million tonnes of cargo with destination or source locations in Austria, including 220,000 TEU in container transport. With the continued investment in port infrastructure, we will provide our business partners and customers with even better and more competitive services in the future,” said Dimitrij Zadel, President of the Management Board of the Port of Koper when talking to the OEVZ.
In particular Austrian container transit via Koper has been growing in the past year. The Slovenian port plans to strongly expand this segment in the future, and hence plans to expand the capacity of the container terminal by 30 per cent by the end of 2020.
