The global logistics market is currently facing exceptional pressures. While one analysis questions how Europe will cope with a potential “flood” of up to 2.1 million TEU once the Suez route is fully restored, another points to existing tensions, with automotive logistics costs having increased by more than 50% since 2019.
In this dynamic and demanding environment, Slovenia – particularly through the Port of Koper – is increasingly establishing itself as a key European logistics hub. The recent announcement of a strategic partnership between CMA CGM and the Port of Koper for managing the automotive terminal further confirms Koper’s growing importance as a gateway to Europe, especially for the automotive sector.
For RCM d.o.o., these developments are not a threat but a challenge we are fully prepared to meet.
We are aware that in times when supply chains are under pressure and sudden surges in cargo volumes are expected, our clients primarily need two things – reliability and flexibility. We ensure both through our strong presence at key points along the logistics route. Our branch office in Koper is at the very heart of operations, ensuring the smooth execution of all maritime and logistics services.
Our key advantage is the customs warehouse located in the OIC Hrpelje – Kozina, which serves as a vital buffer in times of increased cargo flow. While ports face the risk of congestion during potential “cargo floods,” RCM in Kozina provides an immediate solution – fast cargo flow from the port, efficient customs clearance, and secure storage.
To be ready for future challenges, we are already in the process of expanding our customs warehouse in Kozina. Soon, our capacity will increase by an additional 3,000 m² of covered warehouse space, further relieving pressure on port terminals and ensuring that our clients’ increased cargo will not be affected by bottlenecks.
At RCM d.o.o., we take pride in having all necessary processes, infrastructure, and an expert team in place to confidently handle increased order volumes. Our clients can rest assured – regardless of global volatility or rising costs, RCM remains your reliable partner, ready for the future challenges in maritime logistics.
