One of the key cargo locations at Kovel Porto is the container terminal, a specialized logistics center designed for handling containerized cargo. This includes all goods transported in standard containers via sea, rail, and road without the need for unpacking. This efficient and secure method is preferred by many companies worldwide.
Location of the Container Terminal
The terminal is strategically located at the crossroads of the Tri-Sea route between the Adriatic, Baltic, and Black Seas. It connects to European and Ukrainian rail tracks (1520 mm and 1435 mm) and is directly adjacent to the E37 highway, which is part of the international road network, ensuring connections between major cities and economic hubs.
