Used containers at Bratislava: Slovakia's only trimodal container terminal
Slovenská plavba a prístavy says the container terminal in the Port of Bratislava is the only trimodal container terminal in Slovakia. One terminal serving a whole country means a request here is rarely about choosing a place, and more often about whether the box can be released at all.
A small yard with a long rail list
The operator lists 30,000 square metres of storage for up to 2,000 TEU, and regular rail connections to Mělník, Bremerhaven, Rostock, Koper, Budapest and Trieste. A lot here can be set against the pages for Koper, Budapest and Mělník by actual distance.
What the operator offers around the box
The operator names a container deposit, VGM certification and customs clearance services. We do not use or broker them. For a seller it means a unit's status can be documented locally, so say what has been done and what has not.
Figures that are old
A trade article written in 2021 gives 96,000 TEU for 2020 and a peak of 107,000 TEU in 2018. We show these as history and not as current volumes, and no plan to enlarge the terminal changes what a lot looks like today.
Owners and buyers on the Danube
Owners name type, quantity and release date. Buyers in Slovakia and across the borders register what they need and how far they can collect. A lot is shared only when it is a concrete match and its owner has agreed.
