Logistics in Slovenia

Europacific is a full-service logistics and freight forwarding company in Slovenia. From our base in Koper we manage sea, road, rail and air freight, customs clearance, warehousing and cargo insurance for over 1,400 companies across Slovenia and Central Europe — combining the strategic advantage of the Port of Koper with more than 30 years of Slovenian logistics expertise.

Why Slovenia is a strategic logistics hub

Slovenia sits at the crossroads of pan-European transport corridors, connecting the Mediterranean with Central and Eastern Europe. Its deep-sea Port of Koper is the fastest maritime gateway for landlocked markets such as Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and southern Germany — with shorter inland distances than the northern European ports. Excellent motorway and rail links, EU membership and a skilled forwarding sector make Slovenia an efficient, cost-competitive base for international supply chains.

Full logistics services across Slovenia

We provide end-to-end logistics throughout Slovenia: FCL and LCL sea freight, full-load (FTL) and groupage (LTL) road transport, rail transport, air freight, licensed customs clearance, bonded and standard warehousing, nationwide distribution and all-risk cargo insurance. Whether you import through the Port of Koper, export from Slovenian manufacturers, or move goods in transit across the region, we coordinate the entire chain from a single point of contact.

The Port of Koper — Slovenia's gateway to the world

As a Koper-based freight forwarder we specialise in shipments through Luka Koper, Slovenia's only container port. Goods arriving in Koper reach Ljubljana, Vienna, Budapest or Munich within a day by road or rail. We handle vessel agency, terminal coordination, same-day customs release and onward transport, making Slovenia's port the smart alternative to congested northern gateways.

Nationwide coverage and Central European distribution

From Koper and Ljubljana we distribute across all of Slovenia and into Austria, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and the wider CEE region. Our combination of ocean, rail and road capacity lets us design intermodal solutions that balance transit time and cost — from a single urgent air shipment to recurring full-container programmes and regional distribution networks.

Slovenia's motorway and road network

Slovenia's motorway system, managed by DARS, spans roughly 620 km and forms a compact cross spanning the country: the A1 links the Port of Koper with Ljubljana, Maribor and the Austrian border (Šentilj), while the A2 connects the Karawanks tunnel (Austria) to the Croatian border. Slovenia sits on Pan-European Corridors V and X, giving fast road access to Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Note that heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 t face driving bans on Sundays and public holidays (typically 08:00–21:00) and on selected summer Saturdays; we plan routes and timing around these limitations.

Rail freight in Slovenia

Slovenian Railways (Slovenske železnice) operates the national rail network, with the electrified Koper–Divača–Ljubljana line as the key freight artery from the port inland. A new second track between Koper and Divača is dramatically increasing capacity for container and bulk trains. We arrange block trains and single-wagon services connecting the Port of Koper with terminals in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany.

Air cargo via Ljubljana Airport

For time-critical shipments we use the Aircargo Center Ljubljana at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, operated by Fraport Slovenija. It handles freighter and belly-hold cargo, road feeder services (RFS), dangerous goods, live animals and valuables, with X-ray screening, a bonded customs warehouse and simplified customs procedures — working with carriers such as Lufthansa, Air France, Cargolux and Turkish Airlines.

The Port of Koper in numbers

Luka Koper, Slovenia's only cargo port, is a multi-purpose gateway offering the shortest route from Asia and the Mediterranean to Central Europe. It covers 288 ha with a 3,475 m quayside, up to 18 m sea depth, 532,000 m² of closed warehouses, 117 ha of open storage and 38 km of internal rail tracks — with container, car, general-cargo and liquid terminals all directly rail-connected to the European hinterland.
