Tracking Docket The Czech Republic, a landlocked central European country has three core network corridors passing through it. All these corridors have major waterways that link the Czech Republic with the rest of Europe through a network of ports.
Before we take a closer look into the ports, we take you through the three core network corridors that form the backbone of the Czech Republic’s port network.
- The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor: This corridor connects Poland’s ports of Gdansk and Gydnia with the Slovenian port, Koper and Trieste, Venice and Ravenna in Italy through the Czech Republic.
- The Orient/East-Med Corridor: This corridor connects Romania with Germany while passing through the Czech Republic. There are also branches passing through Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
- The Rhine-Danube Corridor: The last of the three corridors, this one connects Germany with Romania with branches passing through Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
It’s these three corridors that are the gateway of the Czech Republic to the rest of Europe.
Here is the list of top sea ports of the Czech Republic.
